[QUOTE="athena, post: 275187, member: 9953"] Yeah, right. White men are twice as likely to get management jobs as EQUALLY QUALIFIED black men, and three times as likely as black women. Additionally, women are usually in jobs that are considered "female" jobs and even when they do hold "male" jobs they usually are paid less for the same work a man does. Only 16% of officers in Fortune 500 companies and 5% of top earners are women. Poor white man. Whatever will he do. Well, lets hope black people enjoy being "victims" because it looks like they will be subjected to unfair hiring and promotion practices for a while longer. Not to mention the unfair treatment received outside of hiring/promotion practices and even mistreatment outside the work environment. There is no need to be nostagic for the '60s or to invent racism. You do understand what racism is, right? If you honestly think there is no more racism, I think you either a) live a very sheltered life or b) don't really know what you are talking about. I am a little surprised you would even put this out there. I do not know if there is a case here or not (which I am guessing unless you actually know the individuals involved you don't either). Have you read the posts on this subject. Why would you willingly open blacks up for more punishment and unfair judgement? I agree, if the case is bogus, the individuals involved should be called on it. However, as you can clearly see from the responses, all blacks (as well as minorities and women) will be seen as trying to get "money they didn't earn". Finally, "fixing from within" sometimes is not an option. First, you don't know if anything has been done from "within" to try to fix it. Second, some environments are especially hostile and management is not concerned. Sometimes going outside the environment is the only fix. Just a FYI, nooses in the workplace are a way to intimidate and mock black individuals and companies are getting in trouble for it b/c they wouldn't do anything to stop it. [/QUOTE]
