When the world’s leading technology firms reported their workforce demographics, the details were uncomfortable, but not surprising: Apple, Google, Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants are dominated by men, many of them white.

Not so good with the rules of grammar, but great with rules of software code?
Until blacks quit looking at a decent education as “acting white,” they will continue to doom their own job prospects.
“QUALIFIED”
You mean like Michelle and Obama were QUALIFIED to get into top tier schools?
Government...NBA...NFL...MLB...NHL...NAACP...Congressional Black Caucus...BET Television...Telemundo...La Raza...KKK...everything...It’s the only way to ensure equality of outcome, which is, after all, the point.
Crime can apparently pay.
Can’t pass a drug test
Can’t pass a criminal background check
Can’t pass H.S. math test
Can’t pass an English (caucasian talk and write) test
Can’t get a 4 year college degree in a technical subject
Can’t get hired. Too F’n Bad.
**If you can do the work, there is a job for you regardless of skin pigmentation and background, particularly in the high-tech arena... **
Exactly.
Mrs. Gamecock had that with her current position.
She actually had to give a presentation to the group, pretending they were future clients.
Pronounced here “Clempson”.
This might rub people the wrong way, but I hope you get where I’m coming from. I’m just relating my own experiences and that’s all.
In my experience racism is a self fulfilling prophesy.
I’ve been a leader in the tech industry for a lot of years.
I’ve worked with just about every ethnic group on the planet. That includes, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian, Native American, Nigerian, Puerto rican, British, Irish, Scottish, Russian, etc... and yes..African American...
We’ve kidded about each others nationalities before and cultures, but never race... That’s just NOT the way normal people think. We talk about their countries or their customs. And honestly it’s very interesting and very cool.
I’ll never forget working with an engineer that was a Russian Jew that grew up in the Soviet Union. She talked about having to spend summers in Soviet labor camps. That’ll will get your attention.
Except with one of those groups that I mentioned above. Want to guess which?
Which to them race is 99% of what they think about. And they will find any excuse to bring it up. It’s worse than vampire blood thirst. They can’t stop. ..It never stops with them.
It’s so annoying and obnoxious that you don’t want them around.
Not to mention trying to watch every single word you say. Or how you look at them, how you smile,....if they see you and a couple others going to lunch together and they don’t get invited...well that’s an obvious sign of racism.
They make working with them unbearable!!!! Let me say that again.. THEY MAKE IT THAT WAY!!!
Doesn’t take long before you’re going blue in the face wanting to scream, “WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR STUPID RACE!!”
**No other people in the world are like this.**
Pretty soon, you don’t want to hire them because you don’t want to deal with all the crap they are going to bring into the office.
So racism then becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. They want to see racism so they create it.
An acquaintance of mine majored in animal husbandry, until they caught him at it.
“An acquaintance of mine majored in animal husbandry, until they caught him at it.”
So did Thad Chochran! He really enjoyed doing “indecent” things to animals!
“...dominated by men, many of them white.”
I worked in SV for 15 years and I was ALWAYS the minority.
Once they started H1b it just got worse.
If any black candidate has skills in C# or Hadoop, I’m sure these companies would grab them up.
I want more white basketball players...
