And then people wonder why there aren't enough Blacks in STEM industries or not enough Black CEO's.

These Blacks aren't rejecting just US culture but the entire culture of business.

English is the language of business..global business. No one wants a CEO saying "Who dat brought da spreadsheets ?"

Not with the current open borders mindset of the American left it wouldn't! Once their nation failed they'd all start crossing the border and building a wall would of course be racist.

Well the usual knee jerk response from the Left when it comes to matters like this is to lower the standards so that Black student and others like him won't be called out.

History has shown us that the Left doesn't like to educate certain members of their base.



Education = Oppression...

Kinda funny how this aged. In 2014 it was racist to expect protected minority students to speak proper English. Now it is racist to expect them to be able to add or subtract. Says a lot for the direction our society is taking.

you are correct, b/c the government says every company has to hire a certain percentage of minorities....

If a Black person is so likely to get the job, then out of everyone in my cohort, why was it that me and another Black person had to wait the longest to get jobs after graduating from college? Why is it that even with a connection I had, I didn't get the job? By the way, the other Black person in my cohort, he currently works in sales and never got a job in his field. I have a job in my field, but it was an uphill battle. I watched other people who graduated with me get the jobs they wanted, while I had to work twice has hard. Why is that?
Maybe your writing skills are subpar?

When did you graduate from college?

Really ?
I agree that now it's not about equal rights. It's about special rights. They want the right to not be held accountable for their actions. They want the right to steal and loot with impunity. Obviously not ALL black people feel this way. I have some wonderful, educated and lovely black friends that I think the world of. They don't think this way.

That's not true.

Companies are not required to actively seek out minority employees, but companies are also not allowed to discriminate against minorities in their hiring, firing, or workplace policies. This means that a company cannot refuse to hire and cannot fire someone based on their race.

I've written term papers and even a few articles. I've often aced my term papers. My writing skills are much better than you think. I graduated college in 2012. I've also made sure to have my resumes reviewed frequently BEFORE I submitted them to jobs.

I am working now and doing alright. However, if a Black man was more likely to get the job than a White man, I wouldn't know it. That hasn't reflected the realities that I've seen and experienced.
