So then why are there so few black men in the board room? Or Mexican men? Or women?60 or 70 years ago America was full of 'Systemic Racism' and personal Racism. I saw it in the 60s in Alabama and the 70s in Washington DC. "You can't eat here" "Use that entrance" "Drink out of that fountain" "You can't work here" "You can't go to school here" "You can't play in this league". All of that is gone. Systemic Racism is part of our past. What remains is personal Racism that is present in some White people and some minorities but most Americans are not that way.
Have you heard that the people who benefited the most from Affirmative Action were women? Do you think women who have been selected because they were women failed when they were given the chance? They have not. They have succeeded.
So we know diversity programs work. Now if we could have these programs benefit blacks as much as they have women then maybe systemic racism would be truly over.
Blacks make up 10% of the population. Roughly. What percent of American CEO's are black? Certainly not 10%. Not even close.
You deniers of racism say blacks can't handle those jobs. You think they are too stupid. And yet you will also say racism is a thing of the past.
And until you side with blacks not murderous cops, you can't say racism is a think of the past, you racist twat.
You wrote again without ANY research your truly biased and subjective OPINION no facts.
Here are the facts!!!
The study found that 38.6 percent of the Fortune 100’s board seats—34 percent of the Fortune 500’s board seats—are held by women and minorities, both increases since 2016, the year the last study was conducted.

Achieving diversity in the boardroom has been a slow journey, but there has been some progress as revealed by a multiyear study published by the Alliance for Board Diversity in collaboration with Deloitte. Looking across both the Fortune 100 and Fortune 500, the study found that the total number...

- Minority men have made almost as much progress in the last two years as they did in the 12 years before that.
- Hispanic/Latino men gained 21 seats in 2018, an increase of 14.3 percent from 2016. Hispanic/Latina women gained four seats in 2018, an increase of 9.8 percent from 2016.
