Is 13% of the population well represented in the work force?

I believe there’s only three industries, which they are overrepresented:

1. Sports
2. Music
3. Government employment

I recently unfollowed him as he’s totally changed. Cuban thinks that because he has 8m followers his opinion trumps everyone else’s.

I think this is a ok place to talk about this. Black people are well represented in every profession. You name it, whatever job, black people are employed. I think we’ve made tremendous progress that people miss.

I’m in network engineering and security.

Vastly underrepresented there. I know some African and Caribbeans that are brilliant technical engineers (One from Trinidad who was borderline genius.). 90% of the people that I find in the upper echelon of technical expertise are Asian.

Very few technical people though. Lot in management. Deserved or undeserved.

Not the rule, as I’ve met plenty of idiot white men as well.

We have, but there are a couple of reasons people miss that progress.

The first is that they intentionally miss it because it screws with their grievance stance. You can't be outraged about something if it doesn't reach the level of "outrageous" simply by default. Without that level of angst, race-baiters have no grounds for race-baiting. This has been the case for well over a century now.



The other is that they buy into faulty causation rationalities.

Stating that blacks are "well represented" could mean either that those blacks in those professions do excellent work, thus representing blacks well. However, what it usually means is their per capita representation of that profession's workforce should be equal to their per capita representation of the total population. This is the same mistake people make when assuming women are being held back from professions where they represent less than 50% of the workforce.

If there are discrepancies against total population numbers, then the natural default by those types is "this can be caused only by racism" (or sexism, in the case of women). This sophist view completely excludes every other point of reality, especially that of the disappearing black, nuclear family.

Every study ever made shows a stable family life is important in the developmental years of a child, which often carries over to better performances in school. One of the strongest indicators of homelife stability (although not perfect) is having a two-parent household. Black children are not just more likely to be born into single-parent households than children of other races, but are far more likely to be born into single-parent households than they are two-parent households.

Single-parent households tend to have more dysfunctional potential than two-parent households ( LINK).

It's no coincidence then that areas which most often have poor school performance are poor, majority-black areas. If young, poor, black children are more likely to come from dysfunctional single-parent homes then they are more likely to do worse in school (which is what we see, in general). If they are more likely to do worse in school, they are therefore less likely to go into fields where a successful educational background is mandatory (doctors, astronauts, mechanical engineers, etc).

But it's much easier to just be intellectually lazy and say "because racism".

Marc Cuban recently said that if less than 90% of new jobs are going to minorities then that is a problem. That is even though white people are 62% of the population. With mindsets like that, I would say minorities will soon be overrepresented in certain fields.

---

I don’t even understand how this math works. There simply aren’t enough minorities available to fill that many positions even if you hire just anyone. Add in necessary qualifications for certain jobs and it’s not even possible to accomplish this

There’s eventually going to be a market balance/correction from this DEI stuff.

Most of it occurs in big corporations. Well if big corporations aim to hire 90% minorities they’re going to have to hire a lot of under qualified employees simply due to numbers. This will lead to inefficiency, poor service, and costly mistakes by those corporations while all of the qualified, competent job applicants that were turned down due to simply being white will go work at small and medium sized businesses and help them to grow and prosper while the big corporations deal with a lot of issues that will ruin what made them grow so big in the first place I.e quality products or services.

It’s a shame that Cuban picked a date so close to the MLKjr Holiday to tell all his followers that MLKjr was wrong and Mark knows more about how to resolve the problems of Black Americans than Dr King knew.

He recently sold a large stake in the Dallas Mavericks. Did he sell to a Black-owned corporation or did he sell to the highest bidder?

Cuban is leaving the television program Shark Tank. There has only been 1 permanent Shark who is Black - why was Cuban okay with that? Will Cuban’s replacement be Black?
