It is much easier to succeed as a minority in this country.

Affirmative action
Minority Scholarships
Disadvantaged Business contracts

It is a shame that this country has made racism legal.

You lost out on that governmental contract to a company owned by a black woman, huh?


If Bruce Genderbender can become Kaitlynn, and if Rachel Dolezal can grow up white to become an officer in the NAACP, then the Op can be a racial and gender minority too. Maybe a Squirrelkin named Ghjkl (pronounced Jill) and then qualify for minority contracting too!!!

Stop giving your kids those crazy arse names. No business wants someone answering the phones representing their company with "hello this is Eboleisha". It definitely hurts their chances in life and they aren't even traditional African names.

Affirmative action and set asides are institutional racism.

The most disgusting advocates are the white people who volunteer other white people to give up opportunities to inferior competition.

Tell me when a qualified Kennedy doesn't get into Harvard to make way for "diversity" and I will listen.

You're right. All Racism against blacks ceased to exist the minute the civil rights act was signed.

The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program is a racket. If your business can't compete, you should go out of business. These people bid on jobs they know damn well they can't do. It ends up costing taxpayers more money to fix.

By the study you yourself supplied, this statement shows that it's not about racism but more about classism. Sorry if an employer immediately thinks that a candidate from Shady Pines Lane in the gated community is going to be a more trusted and better educated employee than the a candidate from Avenue L near the city bus station. I bet the employer that thinks that way is correct 95% of the time using this information.

So what makes you think they gave up on slavery after the proclamation?


I am white...I married a black woman. I make her clean my house, wash my clothes, and cook me food. Yes...Slavery does exist today.

The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise


I can attest to this. Back when I worked in Heavy Civil, multiple times I had to give contracts to these companies to meet our DBE %. Often times they're more expensive, and usually incompetent business wise but they are in business because big companies like who I worked for needed to use them.

Kid you not, I once got an invoice typed up in Word that said this

quote:

XXXX REBAR
WE TIED 140,000 LBS OF STEEL
YOU OWE ME $XXXX


I also had to go back and pay his supplier over $200K for rebar we had already paid him for because he wasnt paying his bills and the supplier filed against our bond.
