There was a study that showed names like Jamal, Lakiesha, Deondre, Kanesha, etc get skipped over quite often without even looking at the qualifications.
Very true. Being able to communicate effectively starts with understanding each other. Poor whites have many of the same challenges as any other poor minority when it comes to access to good education.

A group that ascribes to individualism? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
Black CEOs and upper management who set policy in big corporations are a minute fraction of the WASPS who lead industry
Agreed. I have noticed that Anglo whites see Slavic whites differently than say Germanic. Scandinavian or French whites. It's actually where the name "Slave" came from. The Greeks, Romans, and Gallic people all kidnapped Slavic people and sold them into slavery (slav-ery).What about white names like Chaputchnikov, Burgdorf, Schwarzgel or Borussia? I will bet they get looked over as well. Common American names will probably be selected over uncommon foreign names or names that are more difficult to pronounce.
Mostly but in the United States, the different races seem to also have different cultures and stereotypes that follow.Race is more about how you look; not how you walk, talk, or act.
Oh there are 72 outspoken black business leaders in the United States. I guess there is absolutely no way whites having an advantage in the United States. Racism is a myth I guess.
Sarcasm noted. How does the fact that the vast majority of business leaders in the US being white give whites an advantage? Are you suggesting white business leaders run corporations that favor whites?Oh there are 72 outspoken black business leaders in the United States.

Is there any evidence that white people of today still see white Slavic people this wayAgreed. I have noticed that Anglo whites see Slavic whites differently than say Germanic. Scandinavian or French whites. It's actually where the name "Slave" came from. The Greeks, Romans, and Gallic people all kidnapped Slavic people and sold them into slavery (slav-ery).
YesSarcasm noted. How does the fact that the vast majority of business leaders in the US being white give whites an advantage? Are you suggesting white business leaders run corporations that favor whites?
Don't know, but probably not. Just noting where the word "slave" came from.Is there any evidence that white people of today still see white Slavic people this way
So when (for example) Merrill Lynch had a white CEO, the investment management corporation had a policy that favored white people, then when a Black CEO took over, it changed it’s policy to favor black people? Is this the method to your madness, that major corporations change their policies back and fourth based on the race of the person running it? C’mon you know better than that.
To operate your company based on racist hiring practices is illegal for whites or blacks. That doesn't mean that certain individuals who are in charge of hiring and/or promoting don't have racial or ethnic bias. From your post, I get the impression that you think racism does not exist or it affects everyone the same way.So when (for example) Merrill Lynch had a white CEO, the investment management corporation had a policy that favored white people, then when a Black CEO took over, it changed it’s policy to favor black people?

I voted Yes. Being white, i know theres a good chance if i get pulled over that the cop will be strictly business and not give me a tough time. I received a better education where i grew up then minorities did who live in Hartford which is only 10 to 15 minutes from where i live. Better education means more job opportunities
The judicial system is biased. Despite the fact that the black population is i think less then a quarter of Americas total population, there are far more blacks in prison then there are whites
If im driving through the city its possible that i might see 8 or 9 people who are hispanic or black before i see a white person. They live in a far more dangerous environment then i do
Racism and oppression do most certainly exist in America
The same for black peopleI voted Yes. Being white, i know theres a good chance if i get pulled over that the cop will be strictly business and not give me a tough time.
As a Black man, I received a better education than many poor white people I know of; better education means more job opportunities.I received a better education where i grew up then minorities did who live in Hartford which is only 10 to 15 minutes from where i live.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, there are more white people in prison than all other races combinedThe judicial system is biased.

Are you under the impression all black and hispanic people live that way? Or are you aware there are black and hispanic people who live in just as nice and safe neighborhoods as you live in.If im driving through the city its possible that i might see 8 or 9 people who are hispanic or black before i see a white person. They live in a far more dangerous environment then i do
Do you just not believe racism exists or you think whites are discriminated against in the same manor that blacks do?The same for black people

And it doesn’t mean just because the hiring person is white that they are racially biased against non-whites.To operate your company based on racist hiring practices is illegal for whites or blacks. That doesn't mean that certain individuals who are in charge of hiring and/or promoting don't have racial or ethnic bias.
You’ve got the wrong impressionFrom your post, I get the impression that you think racism does not exist or it affects everyone the same way.
I think there is a culture that too many black people adopt that puts them at a disadvantage. A culture that tells law abiding citizens to not snitch to the police when they see crimes being committed, a culture that glamorizes athletic ability, while criticizes academic achievement as “acting white”; even Obama commented on this culture in his democratic convention speech.Do you think that all of the problems the black community faces are self-inflicted? If so, when did blacks start acting against their own interests and why? Is it like the Aryan Nation and those people who say, blacks are just inherently immoral due to genetics, less intelligent, and violent?
Can you provide a link of him saying this?You don't remember our last president calling illegal immigrants rapists and calling black people lazy? There is audio/video footage of this and he was the supposed leader of the free world.
The same for black people
