He's dead. Ceos don't have to " answer " to the BoDs the way you imagine.
What about the Johnson clan of Chicago ? You know, they who started and still run a magazine conglomerate.
I could go on and on, dear, but you really should do more studying and far less moaning about what blacks haven't accomplished. Wallowing in victimhood and guilt/attainment by association is shallow; not to mention pathetic!
Uh, No:
"He's dead."
My condolences.
Ceos don't have to " answer " to the BoDs the way you imagine."
How do I "imagine"? My experiences have been in the organizations for which I have worked that while the CEO makes many important decisions about the business, makes many crucial decisions on which path the business will follow, If the CEO does not bring forward the CONSCIOUSNESS of the BOD, the CEO is History. AND the CEO collects a salary approved by the BOD. Yes Or No?

http://www.daveyd.com/blackwallpolitic.html Johnson Clan? you mean John Johnson and Linda Johnson-Rice? Johnson products (remember AfroSheen?) You must mean John H. Johnson, Johnson Publishing. Remember John Johnson, the Newscaster in New York? John Henry Johnson, the pro Football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers? Jack Johnson, the first (recognized) Black Heavyweight Champion? How can we not remember James Weldon Johnson? (Lift Every Voice and Sing)?
Maybe you and I should go on. How many of the young people coming behind us know those names, or those accomplisnments? How many people other than Black people know who those peopole are? That sound like moaning to you?
How about the Bing Group in Detroit? I know a smart, culturally literate person like yourself knows who Dave Bing is, right? What about what Earl Graves or Earvin "Magic" Johnson have accomplished? Yeah, I can go on, too.
Wallowing. SOWS wallow. Pehaps YOU have experience in Wallowing. Tell us about it (sooo-Weee!).
Read "the Miseducation of the Negro" by Carter G. Woodson.
If you read any of my other posts, you wouldn't mistake me for a victim, just someone who won't get pissed on and accept the "it's raining" explanation. If I inspire any guilt in anyone maybe THEY should look inside their own heart, and see what's going on.
Read "Trauma and Recovery". You will get an accurate explanation of how victims' lives progress. The "just move on" request DOES NOT WORK. I have been blessed with good health, a sound mind, a good job, my own house, car money and investments, good friends, both parents, siblings, ect. AND I PAID for my own college education, undergrad and Grad.
"I don't want nobody to give me Nothin', jus open up the door, an I'll git it myself" (James Brown)
Just because a few of us, many of us have made some headway, don't think we have achieved PARITY: economic or political: the real seats of power. We are still trying to achieve educational parity, thus A/A and "college campus diversity". There are some Black owned oil companies; they drill and refine their own oil. There are some Black owned firms specializing in technology. But the majority of our industry is dependent on white people: service providers. Not bad, if we are treated equitably, which is not always the case. True or untrue? Deep Enough?"
Judge Thomas is right. I don't have to beleive what I'm told to believe. If you remember the post that started all of this, you'll remember the stats say that Black kids lag behind white kids in the very primary eduactional areas like math, reading and science. The following posts suggest that there is something wrong with black people: we're clever, not really intelligent. We're lazy and looking for a hand out (A/A). Our culture doesn't revere education, the majority of us submit to peer pressure (acting white)and our parents are remiss in their duties: they don't make sure that we are ready for to enter school, and don't participate in the parent-teacher relationship building process. In the meantime our inner city schools are terrible.
