Exactly. But what this article makes me wonder is how many white employees nationwide feel that they didn't receive the promotions that they deserved. The black employees can sue for discrimination if they feel that they have been snubbed for promotions, but what can the white employees do if they feel that they have been snubbed? It looks like the scales are tilted in favor of the black employees.
My resolution for this problem: get rid of the employment discrimnation laws, at least for private companies. In my estimation, if you take the risk to start a business, you should be able to hire and fire who you want for any reason or no reason.
