Crystal clear to see.I
It is "common knowledge" in the Black community that having a "Black" name can often lead to, for example, employment applications being discarded, and other similar forms of discrimination. Indeed, I have read some first-person accounts of white people having Black-sounding names (e.g., "Jamal") and experiencing such discrimination "unfairly"(?).
I can say for sure that happen because I did it.
Before retirement I was an Engineer. The last 20 years of my career I was a Manager and Director and I hired hundreds of people.
I reviewed well over a thousand resumes for all kinds of positions. Everything from Secretaries to Engineering Managers. Both Salary and Hourly.
I always culled out the resumes with Black Ethnic names. Never short listed anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.
Since the Fortune 50 company I worked for had a stupid "affirmative action" hiring policies I never mentioned it to anybody and I always got away with it.
A couple of times I was instructed to improve my departmental "diversity" demographics but I always ignored it and never got into any trouble.
My stereotype is that anybody with a stupid ghetto Black ethnic name is probably worthless. I could have been wrong a couple of times but I was also probably right 99% of the time.
Glad I did it. I would do it again.
And so we have a confession showing us how white racism impact blacks today. You were wrong 99 percent of the time and you cost your company money.
I don't give a shit.
I was held accountable for the performance of my division and I wasn't about to let some sorry ass ghetto Negro pull us down.
I was a successful manager. One of the things that contributed to my success was being able to pick good people. It is highly unlikely that some worthless affirmative action asshole by the name of Jamal or Shqueal was going to contribute anything worthwhile.
The rest of this sorry ass country can kiss the ass of the ghetto Neggras but I ain't.
Your company did not reach it's true potential because of your racism. Whites like you got your job by what you think affirmative action is. Many unqualified saltine males were hired for jobs only because their skin was pink. It is apparent you are one of them.
