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?
Charles Barkley said when he gives speeches to high schools, he asks the same question; how many want to become professional athletes. he said at all the white schools 10% of the high school students raise their hands; the vast majority want to be doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc, but at the black schools 90% of the students raise their hands wanting to be athletes. Do you see anything wrong with this picture?
The average black household has 1/10th the wealth of the average white household, yet black people wear more expensive clothes than whites, wear more expensive jewelry than whites, more likely to drive luxury cars with expensive accessories (customized sound system, wheels etc) and other things that hold no value and less likely to invest in things that build wealth do you see a problem with this?
Some of the most popular music and movies glamorizes irresponsible sex while in the real world 3 out of 4 black babies are born out to single mothers. Single motherhood is the most common reason for poverty. do you see a problem with this?
Homicide is the #1 cause of death for black men all the other demographics it’s heart disease, and most of those deaths are from black killing other blacks. Do you see a problem with this? And don’t go blaming it on trauma from slavery, because 100 years ago, black people didn’t have these problems; yeah we had problems back then, but they were other problems; not as much self inflicted like we have today
