Jesse Jackson said there continues to be ``an opportunity deficit'' for minorities in Silicon Valley's tech industry.Where does he get his "numbers" for the "opportunity deficit"? Does he believe that Minorities do not have an opportunity to apply for a job? What is he talking about?

The tech industry is already fostering diversity by moving its factories to China, Singpore, India, Mexico, etc.
To: jrushing
He means all the White Males running Silicon Valley. The irony escapes him the Carly Fiorina happens to be a woman. Liberals are already bring change to America's high tech sector long before Action Shackson crashed the party to get his name back in the headlines.

Jesse's next Promised Land from which he'll sow a windfall. Actually he won't. There are black techs; they as a group can be pretty good, but most of the ones that I've met and work with want to fast track into management.
If they pull their weight, I've got no problems with anyone.
The other thing that Jesse Jackass will lose on is the numbers of Chinese / Indian workers .... anyone can take a look at a tech company and see that they are not racist.
They only discriminate against stupid people.

In today's economy, can the high tech industry afford to be "dumbed down" by Jesse's definition of "diversity"?

This bum rips off Rainblow/Push to pay off his mistress and his lemming-like supporters continue to follow him. Pathetic.

Unfortunately, he will. Corporate execs are deathly afraid of looking "not politically correct." Jesse Jackass's tactics of shakedown and extortion are proven moneymakers that have paid him well in the past and will continue to do so. That's why he does it.

Next thing you know he'll be demanding that a statistically representative proportion of all embedded microcode will be written in ebonics.

You know, every time I hear Jackasson's name in the news, I wonder just exactly what good he and his cohorts have done for the black man - or anyone else for that matter.
His existance is a pure waste of human resource.

Actual : Preferential treatment for a particular minority group. (See : Apartheid, Racism)

Ex employees of Hewlett Packard are unrepentant in their dislike of Carly Fiorina. She has, in public statements, allowed her distain of common people, and longs for reinstatemnet of a medieval power structure in the world. She of course would own property, the rest of us would be prisoners of the common. Also,of course, she would be queen and the rest of us would be the serfs.

Is the blue screen of death racist?
