Well I've seen well spoken and educated blacks get passed over for a white and nothing special about the white but he does have that (color)in common with the hiring manager.Young white kids have very little job skills to offer tooThe biggest hurdle for blacks is that white hiring managers don't hire them. If they did they'd be working.A more accurate analogy rather than your very weak one
Would be to get in a time machine and go back in time to before Europe colonized the world.
And purple ppl not only flogged Irish Americans but invaded and colonized all of Europe.
Occupy them. Steal their land and resources. Set up some kind of like, I don’t know, Trans-Asian slave trade, where purple ppl exported all White people (not just Irish Americans) to work on giant rice plantations in China and Africa.
Ruin Europe over the course of a couple centuries. So all their descendants would want to migrate out n live in the places where purple ppl come from.
In that time, purple ppl would make sure they'd set up systems that privilege purple ppl at every conceivable social, political and economic opportunity.
Every couple of decades purple ppl would make up some fake war as an excuse to go bomb white people back to the Stone Age and say it’s for their own good because their culture’s inferior. And of course purple ppl would make sure white countries (who are not there ally) don't have nukes.
And not just that purple ppl began :
Do you think in that more accurate case it would be wrong white people to have a problem with purple people ?
- mass shooting
- mass jailing
- mass torturing
- mass robbing
- mass bombing
- mass segregating
- mass building highways and thruways to dislocate businesses, communities and neighborhoods; mass creating SUN-DOWN towns
- mass experimenting on
- mass discriminating against
- mass prohibiting
- mass murdering
- mass holding back/controlling in every imaginable way while hating white people en mass via de jure and de facto racism for hundreds of years
See when you talk about me or IM2 being racist you’re not complaining about black people practicing racism on a socioeconomic, cultural or institutional level, because we simply don’t have the means to do that.
You’re referring to black people saying hurtful words about you, because we’re simply not supposed to do that. We’re only supposed to compliment white people, flatter white people, bolster white people's fragile egos and essentially make white people feel better about the burdens of their supposed superiority.
So it’s little wonder that most white people are remarkably thin-skinned when it comes to getting even a tenth of the insults back that they dish out to us.
What's amusing about your rants, Paul...is that they totally ignore reality. This notion that it's white people who have held back black people from getting ahead in life is a great excuse to ignore how black people's treatment of other black people has been the biggest hurdle to their success. It wasn't white slave traders in Africa that provided the majority of blacks that were enslaved...it was black slavers! It isn't white people shooting black people that is making life so dangerous...it's black people shooting black people!
As for what people say about others? Are you seriously trying to tell me that blacks don't talk shit about whites? That statement alone paints you either as one of the more naive posters on this board or one of the most dishonest!
Now you'll go into a rant about how black people aren't good workers but I'm not buying that. I see what looked like a good black get passed up for a job and the white who got the job didn't work out.
And since so many hiring managers in America are racists like you guys we had to come up with affirmative action. We'll go ahead and end them. Blacks should have showed up for Hillary. Now they see the difference
The biggest hurdle for young blacks right now is that they have little in the way of job skills to offer and many live in neighborhoods where crime has driven out businesses. Couple those things with calls for a $15 an hour minimum wage (which makes employers cut back on staff or automate) and you've got even fewer available jobs for blacks trying to enter the job force!
As far as my experiences hiring blacks? I've had very good luck hiring minorities but the businesses I was hiring for were either in areas heavily populated with college kids (who tend to be motivated and more intelligent than others!) or in resort areas that young people want to live in.
You want to know my problem with Affirmative Action? It undermines the accomplishments of minorities that do succeed. There will always be the stigma attached to them that...yes...they became the first Hispanic Police Chief or...yes...they became the first Black President of the Harvard Law Review...but did they achieve that because of their hard work and abilities...or did they achieve that because they were "graded on the curve"?
I think Affirmative Action is something that was invented by well meaning people to "help" minorities but failed to take into account human nature.
Young white kids don't tend to live in the depressed urban areas that so many young black kids do, Sealy. There are fewer jobs available to young blacks because there are fewer businesses in the neighborhoods they live in. One of the biggest hurdles young blacks face is that they have little coaching as to what it takes to get hired for the jobs that do exist. It IS in many ways a "popularity contest"! Part of succeeding in such a contest is understanding what it is that the hiring manager is looking for. Showing up looking for a job wearing totally inappropriate clothing can be the death knell of a job search yet I would see young people (both black and white) showing up wearing things that label them as unprofessional. There is a proper time of day to apply for most jobs...something that needs to be taught to young people and isn't unfortunately. Things like "Ebonics" were just one more road block that well meaning idiots put in the way of minority kids getting hired into the workforce. Employers are looking for employees that can communicate well with customers or managers because communication is crucial to success in business...yet a bunch of of clueless "educators" decided that letting blacks speak essentially their own language would be a good thing.
Don't argue. It's a fact this happens. It's why we had AA because whites just refused to hire black people and it still exists to this day.
But I'm ok with Republicans ending such programs. Then show me in 4 years blacks are doing better under trump
