Why is it so difficult for some of you to believe that something like this would occur-people not hiring because of race?
Um. You should read my posts. I absolutely agree that people might not hire someone because of their race. And, I think you probably ought to ask yourself if the ONLY reason for that is skin color.
Because if you think the ONLY reason is skin color and not the other things that I mentioned, you're fricking nuts.

The hell it is. My point is just about the only act some would consider racist here is someone hanging from a tree. And a few would still argue it's something else.
Is it "racist" if someone has noticed that anytime they DO hire a black person and that person ends up substandard that dealing with that substandard black person is about a billion times a bigger pain in the arse than dealing with the white substandard person?
If I hire a white person who turns out shitty. I can fire him and not even give it a second thought. Literally no stress whatsoever.
You know as well as I do that this is NOT true when dealing with a black employee.

That doesn't negate any racist aspects, but names have power and if there was a negative aspect to naming kids that, why would they continue doing it?
To be fair. They didn't continue doing it.
Nope. They doubled down. The names they used in 74-76 look like fricking Harvard Yacht Club names next to the shite they're coming up with now.
They are literally INTENTIONALLY setting themselves up for shite that they bitch about. It's some form of insanity really.

My favorite part was the white people helping each other out and the black people working together as well. I think it's a video about the importance of team work.

No you're right. Common black names changed in one year. Please.
They went back X number of years for names mostly unique to each race so they job applicants would be of an equal age. Has nothing to do with any black power movement. You're reaching.
But you are right. This kind of racism, race preferenced, hiring could not possibly occur. After all, racism ceased to exist with the Civil Rights Act.

The straw is flying in here today. Good job. By the way, I'm an attorney, so I was never very good at math, but I think '74-'79 is a period of more than one year. quote:

No, I'm not. If that's what you think, then you know nothing about the movement.

Straw man. Again, my congratulations. You're very adept at that argumentative technique.

African Americans better start to get their heads out of their asses, because when the flood of Muslims and Central Americans come through, they will get passed up even more and by yet, more races.
Asians have blown by them, and Mexicans are very close to doing that.
Well this is something else everyone should understand. Blacks make up like 20% of the US population so in theory there should be a 20% representation of blacks in in general. Pick an industry. If its some huge industry and 95% of the people part of that industry is white, I can understand an argument that there needs to have a more diverse representation within that industry, however; no one race should try to influence all the other races that they should have some type of superiority over every other race because of whatever reason.
The best example of how people hurt themselves by focusing strictly on their race is when a white kid fails to get a starting position on his team, which is filled by a black kid. The second that white kid thinks the reason he didn't get the starting position is because the coach favors the black kids is the second he gives up. If the kid realized the reason he didn't get the starting position was because the other kid was better, the kid should be motivated to work harder, but if that kid hangs on to the excuse that the only reason he didn't get it was because of his race, he will be less motivated to try harder, which eventually results in him declining instead of improving. So by telling black kids that white kids have privileges they do not have, that only gives black kids an excuse to not work harder. As a society, I think there are ways that race relations have been handled, that have made things worse.

I agree.
Race is absolutely a factor.
Just like it is in restaurant tipping.
Waiters are CORRECT to have noted that on average, when they get black customers, their tips are shite.
Employers are CORRECT to note that if they hire a black person who turns out to be a poor employee, it's a GIANT frickING PAIN IN THE arse compared to having the same problem with a white employee.
Blacks want to act like there are ZERO real factors at play here other than the color of their skin. That's just fantasy.

This is your favorite play in the playbook. Of course, there is some racism out there. However, a lot of places I've worked have gone out of their way to hire minorities. The playing field has been leveled in a lot of ways.

The nail salon industry appears highly dominated by Asians.
Basketball.............
Football..........
Convenience stores, especially owner operated are highly dominated by non-whites.
Dry Cleaning.
Etc etc.
There is no reason to assume any particular industry should be a mirror of the population at large. That would assume blacks and whites shared the same interests which, I think any black would tell you is quite obviously not so.

Yes you are reaching. Very far. Black movement has nothing to do with the fact that applicants with unique sounding white names got many more call backs than those with names more unique to blacks.
I know 74-79 is more than one year. Someone argued that those names were not common prior to that date-74. Thus, my response.
You are deflecting

I do not disagree. But some respond like racism does not exist like it did in the study. That is when I use my response from the playbook.

Ever considered removing the massive chip from the shoulders of many black people who try to gain employment in a field dominated by people they consider "the devil"?

That's an awesome video.
But I want to see one that depicts an alternate reality in which no white man ever stepped foot in Africa.
What would that look like?
For whatever reason, blacks around the world have never gotten ahead and never created a modern society on their own. They certainly have endured some mistreatment in America, but it's still the best deal going for them.

We get it shorty. Blacks are bad people. And to back that up, there is also a study that shows individuals with black sounding names and neutral backgrounds were rated as equally dangerous as those with white sounding names and criminal records.

Yeah, 74% of the players in the NBA are black. 37% of the head coaches are black, but the NHL & NBA balance each other out I guess.
