[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop saying the playing field is not level. It's not easy being white either. White people have to work and pay their dues and often times are passed over in hiring and promotions because companies want to balance their demographics.

In many if not most cases when two candidates black and white who are equally qualified the job will go to the black candidate. Blacks got cheated out of their wealth and their legacies. They deserved to benefit from Affirmative Action, but the time has come to stop claiming they are victims today. [/quote]

You're delusional. As you look around your company, take note of how many minorities are in supervisory/managerial positions. Take a look at those who are on your Board of Directors and/or those who hold Executive positions in your company. I'm willing to bet that the blacks in your company are in administrative roles. We are overrepresented there, not so much when it comes to positions that involve the title Manager/Director/VP, EVP, etc.

BTW, do some research on how blacks who are college educated are unemployed at a great percentage to similarly educated white people. Also look up how white FELONS are hired at a greater rate than non-felon blacks. Then take a look around DCUM and  see how many judge resumes by the names on them. [/quote]

Oh here we go again, you don't agree with me and that immediately makes me insane. Don't you get tired of personal attacking individuals?

I said in situations of equally qualified candidates the black candidate will be hired before the white candidate. What you are asking for is for less qualified black candidates to be hired simply because they are black. As long as blacks claim to be victims and entitled to jobs for which they are less qualified than the competition, they will never be taken seriously.

Blacks only need to make themselves equal to the competition and they will get the job every time. Stop believing it is easy to be white. White people have to apply to colleges, internships, jobs and promotions. White people experience plenty of disappointments along the way. When white people compete on equal footing with blacks, blacks are hired first because companies want to balance their demographics. It's not any easier to be white than it is to be black. [/quote]

Again, you are wrong and research proves you are wrong. Look up the stats on the unemployment rate for college educated blacks and whites. Who suffer the highest unemployment rate? And what about the study where white FELONS were hired over blacks with no criminal record?

I see you disregarded my point about position levels. It is fairly accurate to say that blacks are primarily relegated to admin/support positions. White women benefit the most from affirmative action. They are usually found in exec positions at a higher rate than minorities.[/quote]
