I really cant believe race is being brought into this. This has nothing to do with race, or equal hiring practices. Houston has demographics of more then 25% of the people being african american https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Houston

Since the 1990 Census, Houston's population has became majority-minority.
OF COURSE they would be employing african americans. But that doesn't mean their pool of applicants means they have to hire under qualified people. 1/4 of the population of a 2 million strong city is african american!!

I can not believe some people went down this road.

I cannot believe that it took as long as it did.

Hopefully, the posts won't be around for long. Disgusting.
