Small price to pay after years of slavery, segregation and racial prejudice.
It's because from polls and statistics that they have found white HR managers, and executives would NOT hire a Non White individual if they had a choice between them and a White person for the job regardless of merit, that we still have Affirmative Action today. And it is because of results such as those that the white man didn't get the job.It's because Racism is still alive and kicking in the US today that companies *need* to be forced to hire non whites. So you want to blame somebody blame the backwards racists in the board rooms that still subscribe to those agendas. Let's not loose sight of the real problem.The real problem is not the one white man that might not have gotten the job because of Affirmative action, it’s the 100 Black men that were more qualified than he was that wouldn't have gotten the job if there were no Affirmative Action.It's the White managers and people in charge of hiring that say they would hire a White person over a Non White person if they had a choice, regardless of suitability for the job. What was the percentage of Whites to Non Whites working in that firm btw? Was the percentage JUST what the quota required I wonder??? That's the real problem here. And if you think that isn't a problem in America today, then get some folks together and do your own Nationwide Survey and prove that Americans are the most intelligent, enlightened people on the face of the planet because they managed to turn around Centuries of racist exploitation and slaughter in just a few decades. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] So let us look at this: Statement 1: He got the job over me because he is black Statement 2: I didn't get the job because I'm not black Statement 3: I didn't get the job because I'm white To me those statements all say the same thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144596 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
