SAN FRANCISCO -- The herd of $1 billion-plus startups -- the so-called "unicorns" -- is growing. But the workforces at these oversized startups are raising a question now familiar to Silicon Valley: do these mythical creatures only come white and male?
A year ago, Rev. Jesse Jackson drew attention to Silicon Valleys lack of diversity and spurred Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo and many others to start issuing diversity reports to hold themselves accountable. But now he has a new target: the unicorns, which are delaying their IPOs and, in a sense, public scrutiny, as they look to establish markets around the globe.

Jesse needs to release a report that shows the has any positive impact on the status quo. There is no evidence that shows diversity improves a ything.

Yo, Jesse, you racist pimp, only non-profit bureaucracies funded by taxpayers can afford to hire the illiterate dead beats that come from your 'hood. Capitalist entities must hire people that (gasp!) have more than two functioning IQ points and will actually Work!
Stupid entitlement pimp.

Jackson crawls out of the sewer again to cause trouble (what else?). Sorry Jesse but you can’t create engineers, technicians and administrators by race baiting.
It gets down to one word Jesse: EDUCATION.
Try working on that angle Jesse. Racist Maggot.

Silicon Valleys lack of diversity"You think maybe there's a reason for that?"

Jesse, these startups don’t give a crap about skin color. They only care about grey matter.

I don’t see blacks or women as naturally attracted to techie activities as white men or some people from other cultures such as Japan or India. That’s not a criticism. I’m a techie and the last thing I want is for my wife to also be one.
To: MeshugeMikey
This is too rich. For decades, the black community has frowned on youth going into the sciences like engineering, math and physics. It was too “white” they said. Now, Jesse is wanting diversity reports.
Its shake down time!!
