LOLOLOLOlololololo........I like your technique.
I always thought business should hire the best qualified person for the job. Silly me.
LOL!
Blacks just aren’t well suited for tech jobs.
Genetically they are better suited for physical labor as opposed to mental tasks.
From the part of the Mark Zuckerberg hearings I watched, a lot of it, Zuckerberg’s hiring practices didn’t get enough questioning from the panel. He was NEVER asked about using H1B Visas instead of qualified US citizens. The panel never jumped on it when Zuckerberg said one reason for faulty censorship decisions is that his SF based employees aren’t in sync with more widespread standards. (I thought that was a mistake, an inadvertent admission that he strives to redefine societal values, the panel missed it). It’s across the political spectrum; nobody puts a face on the qualified US citizens who lose jobs to non-citizens.
You forgot education.
>>Hardware and software don’t care what color you are<<
Hardware and softazre is raccist.
I hear Bill Cosby is available for long term telecommuting.
We pray for revival in America every day. It will be interesting to learn what God has in store for the country. I think a lot will depend on how America treats Israel. Trump has solidarity with Israel, but so many others are going the other way.
That’s so funny. Sounds like something for a “Despair” motivational poster.
So - how do the resumes from the Blacks not being hired hold up to those of the folks being hired?????
... and we have a winnah!
The low numbers of Blacks in any field that requires a high level of mental acuity is a direct result of the several decades of Black societal disdain for education. It that attitude were to change completely today, it would still take several decades to see positive results. Of course the odds of the Black attitude changing anytime soon are extremely low so I expect the disparity to grow.
I’ve worked for a number of technology startups and some grew very quickly. I’ve hired somewhere on the order of 250 highly technical people over my 30+ year career. I can count on one hand the number of African American candidates that have ever sat across the table in an interview with me. There just aren’t a lot of African Americans that are software developers in my experience.
This is not my experience.
POC’s (People Of Color) are well-represented in the last three tech places I have worked.
In one, I was the token white boy.
Also, curiously, the spokesperson was from the National Urban League.
National Urban League => N.U.L. => NULL => Tech concept.
Actual abilities/qualifications are meaningless in this legal environment; companies that don’t meet a certain QUOTA will be successfully sued for millions. Happened with women on Wall Street, and it will happen with blacks here - every employer will have the officially-determined number of both (even if none of either group applies).
These “preferred minority” groups are nothing more than wards of the state, and if the government won’t treat them as our equals we shouldn’t either.
The disparity is being addressed with a “Black tax”, which forces companies to fabricate positions for blacks to ensure smoother wealth transfers. It has gone on for decades.
You really have to congratulate the Chinese and Indians. They got to this position in less than 40 years through incredible hard work, guts, sheer determination, drive, nose to the grindstone, a belief in themselves, no “woe is us - whitey be holding us down chips on shoulders,” and families that value education and expect excellence and success from their kids. In short, good, old-fashioned American values.
The whiners in this article? Not so much. It’s the usual “Gibs me some o dat success!”
My sister teaches math to poor blacks kids (and some poor whites) in Baltimore. It’s gotten so bad that she is now seeing an occasional kid at age 12 that literally does not know the alphabet. How a culture can reward stupidity and ignorance as a way to punish whitey is beyond me.
So too the "Gentle Giant"! Why, he could have made it big in the Small Retail Store or the Urban Tobacco industry...
