Competency Doesn't Mean White!

They’re being rejected for not falling into a “diverse” category, based in their race. It’s racism, pure and simple.

again, until you get rid of white privilege, you will still need DEI, not just for people of color, but for women, the disabled, etc.

Yes, I remember those guys who were HS Athletes... they were still wearing their Letter Jackets in their 20s when I was finishing up College.

"I was a Four Letter Man!"
"Yeah, D-U-M-B".

The problem with your argument (often made by racists) is that if Blacks are better at athletics, than dammit, whites must be better at the brain stuff!!! It's the same argument made by slaveholders who claimed that the plantation system was the natural order of things.

Um, I was a 5 year letterman(lettered in varsity while still in middle school) and was recruited by colleges. I am also a college graduate who is much more successful than you.

Are African Americans inherently better at athletics, in general? If so, why? I can give you some scientific facts based on biology that make the case. Are Asians inherently more intelligent than whites, in general? Are there any genetic differences among races at all? That is a trick question.

As for your absurd assertion that I believe that whites are more intelligent than blacks, everyone should be individually evaluated on their abilities, regardless of race. I know that is a REALLY hard concept for closet, maybe even subconscious, racist like yourself to accept or understand.

See, you missed the point entirely. When only 2% of HS Athletes get to college and only 2% of college athletes get to the NFL or NBA, that's not a system of rewards, it's a system of exploitation. ( I should point out that the NHL and MLB don't bother with this charade. They go to foreign countries, find promising talent, and bring them over.) Especially given that an average player only has a career of a couple of years. Again, I go back to the whole thing about concussive head injuries. (I'm sorry your district in Hooterville couldn't afford helmets, Cleetus!)

Oh please. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes is a poor, exploited soul making 50 million/yr.

And maybe you weren't aware that NBA players don't wear helmets. Playing basketball isn't exactly free solo rock climbing. Being a non-athlete, you don't have a clue what you are talking about, but as usual, you lefties fancy yourselves as experts at everything, which begs the question why so many of them are complete losers.

Are all white men racist? Not as openly as you and Hector12, but there most certainly is an inclination to favor people who are like yourself, which is why white privilege is a thing. Right now, I'm working on a resume for a girl who has no experience, but she'll probably get the job because her mother works there. Not really racism, but the privilege of "I've got mine!"

I haven't said a think that is racist. Disagreeing with you and others like you doesn't make it so.

As to white privilege, well, I guess that just doesn't apply in the NFL or the NBA. White coaches don't give their sons multi-million dollar contracts just because they are their kid. Sure, I would bring my son on to run my business, but if he was incompetent, his role would be minimal. Nepotism aside, no reasonable business person would bring on an employee simply because they are white. Would you? You may be as white as the driven snow, but I wouldn't hire you because your woke ideology and white guilt would likely interfere with your job performance. You wouldn't be able to control it because it consumes you. If I didn't hire the black candidate, regardless of how unqualified, you would likely report me to some left-wingnut agency that I would then have to deal with.

Again, I don't measure a country's success by how many billionaires we have.

I measure it by how many people we don't have in poverty... and we have too many people in poverty for a country this rich.

That they tend to be disproportionately people of color is the problem.

Another white racist ignoring the fact that blacks were not considered human beings by the constitution. This white moron also ignores American legal history. Many motivated fricn Americans get hemmed up by the racism f whites like you. Since you don't face the racism spre us the white --- lecture about motivation because you don't know what motivation is. Motivation is opposing white racism instead of being quiet about it and just taking it.

When someone white hits the fake news button when black person describes their l ived experience, that white person is a moron who isn't worth the time to debate. Contumacius, when you turn black, come tell me what is fake news.

Here is a long winded bit of white ignorance. First, let me go to the remarks said about Mahmes and contrast them with today's white man whining about being oppressed. White men are just over 30 percent of the population but hold more than 80 percent of the management jobs at every level. This is not because white men are so much better qualified than everybody else. While white men are overrepresented in these positions, we see white men whining about being discriminated against. So shut up about Patrick Mahomes.

Now, you made a comment about how no business would bring somebody in only because they are white. That's a lie, and you know it. So once again et me prve prof.

“I can say for sure that happens because I did it. Before retirement, I was an Engineer. For 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 shortlisted anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.”

USMB member Flash. Thread "Black Names"

And here is where whites like you lie to try to minimize what happens. So then you will try to say how this is just one person. But it's not.

Employers may be selecting or overlooking prospective job candidates for interviews based on their potential race as suggested by names, according to a recent study by two professors from the University of Chicago and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

To test whether employers might discriminate against job applicants with black-sounding names, associate professors of economics Marianne Bertrand with Chicagos Graduate School of Business and Sendhil Mullainathan with MIT conducted an elaborate experiment. They fabricated resumes for multiple phantom job seekers with common black and white names. The professors then sent out nearly 5,000 resumes for 1,300 job openings advertised in newspapers and on online job sites throughout Chicago and Boston.

The results are a bit disturbing, the researchers admit. Applicants with white-sounding names were 50 percent more likely to be contacted for job interviews than those with typical black names. There were no significant differences between the rates at which men and women were contacted.

A groundbreaking new study by economists Kline, Rose, and Walters reveals what many have known for decades—name bias is still a pervasive issue in the hiring process. The researchers sent out a series of identical resumes to analyze whether race and gender impacted callback rates of job applications at 97 U.S. employers. The study analyzed distinctly “Black” names and “white” names as well as male and female names, among other demographic differences. The results revealed that white and female names received the most callbacks followed by white male names. Black male names and Black female names were called back the least, respectively.

They aren't interviewing people for jobs if the name sounds black. But you say companies are not just hiring people because they are white.

Yeah right.

When whites are 60 percent of the population but 76 percent of the workforce, there is nothing that is all black.

You're still ignoring MLK I see.

Your white version of MLK never existed. I'm doing MLK.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

Have all men had equal access to opportunity based on the law? Has the law been applied to all men equally?
