Well I know race is involved, I have had plenty of experience with it. I served as a campus recruiter for 3 or 4 year for a few weeks each spring. I remember one year, my marching orders were to put the candidates on the possible hire list in this priority; Black kids if they have a grade point average of 3.1 or better. I found a few that had the GPA but none that wanted participate in an interview with a hiring manager. One young fellow from Stanford with a GPA of 3.3 actually chuckled at the starting salary and ask why I thought he should want to work for that chump change. White and Asian kids only if they have grade point average of 3.7 or better. I found none that would consider working for my company with that high of GPA, but plenty in the 3.2 to 3.3 range. I had projects with a need for about 60 new hires (or available people) but I was unable to hire anyone with such racist guidelines. I changed tactics, and sent a Black lady manager that worked for me, to a couple schools, just in case I was the objectionable impediment, But, she had about the same experience. I had to cancel two project because they could not be staffed. Race surely was in the way, a dreadful obstruction to success.
For clarity. The facilities and resources for producing goods. Not "defending the nation from invasion." Not "protecting citizens from fire or crime."
They should study this inspiring case at Harvard Business School. "I tried, I failed, I gave up." barfo
You assume too much. Several projects were very successful as they were not impacted by the race impaired hiring.
Black unemployment is where it is and you somehow want to blame it on us. You still want to act like racism doesn't exist... You're part of the problem...
I would rather hire a white hart woman in a sexy skirt than a black male. But really, who wouldn't?!?!
Institutional racism is a bitch to root out and kill. It's just everywhere and embedded in government and regulations over a century of Jim Crow and beyond. I was happy Obama was elected, but I was disappointed he didn't hire an all black staff. The best affirmative action isn't done by law, but by black leaders training more black leaders. The world doesn't need higher minimum wage jobs, it needs more CEOs - the wages will take care of themselves.
You're probably the only White male that's ever made that statement. Imagine the Tea Party craziness that would've happened if he did that.
Not everyone can be a CEO. Workers need to live too. The more they make the Better our consumer driven economy is. It's the reason Ford paid his employees 5x the prevailing wage.
