In 1992-93, I was involved in a class-action lawsuit against R.L. Polk and Company for sexual harassment and racial discrimination. Due to information volunteered to us by assistants to the Nationall Tel X manager, we found that he would instruct his assistants to stop hiring blacks once enough blacks were hired to meet the EEOC requirements. He would white out parts of documents and put in numbers showing that either he met EEOC requirements or that not enough minorities were applying and send copies of the doctored paperwork to the EEOC.
I had applied for a management position in one of the divisions. At the time I applied, I had worked in every division in the company, plus I had 8 years of management experience. I was living with a white woman who had none, and had not worked in every department but she was promoted to manager. There were other whites there who were promoted who had less experience and who had not worked in every department. So by merit, I had earned a management position, but due to my skin color, I did not get one. This is why DEI or Affirmative Action was and is necessary. After all in 1993, whites like you guys were singingthe same tired tune you sing today about how racism was a thing of the past.
And then we have this example I will show once agan from Flash.
“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.”
“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.”
He said this in 2020. So from the year 2000 until he retired in 2020 he denied blacks a chance to get a job based not on merit, but only because the name sounded black. So whites were not getting hired because of merit, only because they were white. And don't try lyng about that being an anecdote because thats done millions of times right now.
Payscale did a two-year study from 2017 to 2019, and this is their conclusion: "we find equal pay for equal work is still not a reality." They studied the earnings of white men and men of color using data from 1.8 million employees. They found that no matter how far they advanced, black men made less than white men with the same qualifications. According to the study, “black men were the only racial/ethnic group not achieving pay parity with white men at some level." The study showed that black men had the most significant pay gap relative to white men and that on average, black men earned 87 cents for every dollar a white man earned. The Payscale study showed that black men are paid less compared to all other men. Even when black and white men had the same job, experience, education, and worked at the same geographic location, the study shows that black men earned less.
And black women get it even worse. Don't try making excuses because:
The Payscale study showed that black men are paid less compared to all other men even when black and white men had the same job, experience, education, and worked at the same geographic location.
And;
The National Women’s Law Center also showed that black women are paid less than other women. Black women are paid 63 cents for every dollar paid to white men based on calculations used in the study. White women get pretty much the same as black men.
Assuming that only whites get things based on merit is racist. Leaving out whites when you say that things should be based on merit as if every white person is there based on merit but others aren't is racist. Especially when the reality is that is has been whites who have consistently denied others who earned opportunity based on merit because of their skin color or sexual orientation.
And Lisa, you only bring up blacks. What about Asians, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, handicapped, and WOMEN? Once again you show your anti black racism.
