When Maxine Waters, the Democratic representative from southern Los Angeles, toured Silicon Valley during the first week of May with fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, she was blunt about the technology industry’s lack of progress hiring black employees. Waters, standing at a lectern in front of a wall of windows at Lyft’s offices in San Francisco, said she was “floored” to learn that black workers make up 1 or 2 percent of the workforce at several prominent tech companie

And how many were native-born Americans? That is the scandal that these schools are filling these seats with high-paying foreign students that then stay instead of going home. No public school should be allowed to get federal dollars if they pass up a US citizen in favor of a foreign student. And foreign students should face mandatory return home, no green card, no work permit, no US tax money. Put the incentive for these schools to educate Americans.
Those of which you speak are lazy and will not move
There is a significaant number of hired foreigners. If they leave, there are no replacements for miles. Some folks including engineers already travel for >40 miles one way.
actually, half of the workers are foreigners already. plus, about half of the companies are owned by communist Chinese or other foreigners (this from a survey several years ago, its probably higher now) ... yes, the BIG OLD firms were American run... and had lots of American ‘white’ engineers.. .so when you visit a museum, you should see a lot of ‘white looking faces’ on the wall pictures
but that’s history. the big firms like to hire communist Chinese (’more compliant’ because many of them don’t have papers to work here? ) and also Indians for coding work, and others from Asia mostly. has been thus for quite a few years already...
Facebook and Twitter should be mandated by you to hire a minimum 15% black folks.
In fact, you should take a page outa the FAA's playbook and make sure only those blacks who have been unemployed for 3 years and/or only concentrated on sports in school should be hired.
maxine waters, poster child for lower standards.
Totally false. Google American scientists and you can see that less than 10% are white males. If it weren’t for persons of color, especially those of the LBQTADIFINITUM persuasion, we’d be living under rocks rubbing sticks together for warmth. Goodness, from what medieval dungeon did you matriculate?
Garrett Morgan (1877-1963) invented traffic signals, hair products and safety hoods. He was happily married for fifty years and had a business with thirty two employers. Plus, he was the first colored person to own a car in Cleveland. He is proof that government assistance is not needed by people who are educated and diligent. Maxine Waters is a loser.
That’s what Obama did to Air Traffic Controllers. Imposed diversity hiring no matter the qualifications. anxious to see the end result of that.
Someone needs to whack that STUPID old hag in the head with a sledge hammer, even better, whack her several times. She’s so incredibly stupid and mean, a traumatic brain injury might actually be an improvement.
The following is sexist and does NOT apply at any time to any FReeper woman, allofx whome are cherished and honored and intelligent and capable people. I personally do not agree with it o endorse it.
Now....
A gag meme a few years showed two women in their twenties near a bunch of computer hardware. They were both looking at their reflections in the shiny side of CD ROMs to repair their make-up. “Why so few women advance in the IT profession” was the caption.
“A simple fix, merely lower the hiring standards.”
Swap out those Obamaphones for a new taxpayer funded Dell laptop. The least we could do to get’em started on the right tech track.
The tech companies are getting dangerously close to a situation analogous to the MGTOW "where have all the good men gone?" which 30-year-old women are facing.
Well, to be fair, she stands up for lower standards at home too, witness the voters in her district.
She is not alone
She wants unqualified functionally illiterate low IQ slugs with criminal records installed into high tech positions-—anything less than that would be racist. What a nasty nasty dumb@ss, that Maxine Waters.
NBA still struggles to hire Asian players. NFL struggles to hire Hispanic and Middle Eastern players.
I assume also on her schedule is a visit to scold NBA owners for hiring so disproportionately. Can only be racism. HAS to be.
GMTA!
My thought are in reference to East Tennessee, not California
Mad Maxine is all that, of course!
In addition, Mad Maxine is a noxious, venomous harridan!
Here are Merriam Webster’s definitions:
noxious = “physically harmful or destructive to living beings;”
venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger” and
harridan = “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”
A bit redundant, perhaps, but certainly appropriate as demonstrated daily in Maxine’s character, conduct and speech.
She is not the only LIEberal Democrat one could honestly say that exhibits those characteristics.
There are male noxious, venomous harridans, also. But I’ll save that discussion for an appropriate thread.
Don’t want to hijack this one, don’tchaknow?
