[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That reminds me (because I read the print edition an hour ago) of this farce:
http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/event/114181

Washington Business Journal Minority Business Leader awards. So the only criteria to qualify is you need to be non-white. Nothing about your economic background, struggles in life, etc. One of the people featured is actually extremely wealth as she and her husband founded BET television, and how post-divorce she's started a new business, I assume funded with the money from selling that business.

I'm not understanding the problem?  why would a business award criteria have anything to do with your economic background and struggles? Its a Business Awards...meaning if ur great in Business and area a leader u might get recognize....what are U REALLY MAD AT? That Blacks have an award ceremony geared towards them. Not every black person was born poor...Sheila Johnson wasn't her Father was a Neurosurgeon...she took her upper class background and made the best out of it. Lets be honest ur mad at blacks/minorities getting recognized, thats the real issue[/quote]

About 1/3d of the people on the list are Asian, then some Latinos in there also. So the only purpose of this is to recognize successful people who happen to be non-White.[/quote]
