[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. [b]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. [/b]

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 really? My CEO is African American, she is great at her job, and I don't give her race a second thought. Stop whining.[/quote]

So, no response to my points? One AA CEO is enough to void out the experiences of others? BTW, which company?[/quote]
