LOL what's troubling and problematic is opening a company in a land where only 7.8% of the population is white and somehow end up with the whole team being white. This must take some serious effort to do.

That’s not troubling. If people want a job in a civilized company they can become qualified and apply like everyone else.

So, are you saying not a single member of the 92.2% of the population was qualified?

Every gathering should represent the exact percentage of the population!!!

White people should all be ashamed they were born at all!!!



That, in a nutshell, is identity politics/activism.

I'm a mutt, white, brown, even a drop of black. I am a fantastic shade of myself and do not give a crap about the color of a persons skin, only their character.

Hmm, where have I heard that before?




People are becoming deaf to their own hypocrisy.

Anyone who calls out how something isn't this or that skin color is a racist, including you. YOU are the problematic one.

For those who do not know, YPIPO is about the same as calling whites crackers.

He makes up for it by having the Obamas on his yacht.

More qualified than the people in the picture? I don’t know. Have any of them applied for jobs there or should they just take Africans off of the street and make them executives?
