We all know there is plenty of talent out there of all stripes and shades.
However, unlike the law and politics, technology is not very kind products made by the untalented...and should tese companies hire Obama-level idiots...well, they’ll just turn into Microsofts.

From a few day ago...
Jesse Jackson isn’t keeping quiet about the lack of diversity in the tech industry’s ranks.
Rev. Shakedown is hard at work here.

Jesse if a fraud. He did not earn a divinity degree, has never had a church, never had a congeregation, and has no right to use the title "Rev." Same is true of Al Sharpton, but both continue to perpetuate the lie. Sharpton was "ordained" by a DC preacher at age 10.

Oh, you don't need to worry, Silicon Valley won't be going into the hood to hire the next generation of programmers. Both they and Jesse Jackson know that, and Jackson couldn't care less if blacks actually get the jobs. It's about money for himself, these companies will drop a few million into his coffer. Jackson will publicly declare them "not racist" and the problem solved, and both parties will live happily ever after...

Nothing preventing Jezze from running his ideas past a few VC’s up on Sand Hill road and doing a startup in Oakland.
Can hire all the non-whites he wants there.
Waiting patiently for that to happen....

When you see a company capitulate to Jackson, it is time to dump your stock...before the consequences hit the bottom line.

In my view that’s very good advice.

You notice he doesn’t mess with Larry Ellison, either.
Larry is NOT a nice guy.
To: jazusamo
The company my brother works for forced his division to hire a black kid with 2 years of experience to fill a role. There were two guys with ten plus years who wanted it. Now everyone has to pick up the slack so the unqualified can make the grade. Thank HR and their diversity BS. Imagine working 10 years while some colored chump steps in, not based on merit, but color.

Maybe Common Core can be used to redefine hardware and software engineering so that more non-whites can understand their inherently and structurally racist principles.

There is no reason to pick up the slack. It's not your problem. It's the problem of the jackasses who chose the incompetent employee. Let them stew in the consequences of their error.
My wife is one of 7 police/fire/ems dispatchers. The department works 4 x 10 hrs with 3 days off. It takes 15 weeks to train a dispatcher to the level required to handle a shift independently with basic competency. My wife knows that one dispatcher is planning to leave. One is pregnant and may not come back. Two others are "unhappy". It is very possible that 4 of 7 will be gone soon. Not a good situation considering how hard it is to hire an applicant that can even complete basic training.
