    What is the reason for this? Why can't equality in American happen. Is it really not that hard to pick the best person for the job. White people really dont like hiring the best people the job.

    Because we're all just a big bunch of racists. That's the answer you want to hear because it's the same premise you set up in every thread that you post. So I'll just save us both the time and give you what you want. Are we done with this thread now?

    You are implying two things

    1-Black people are never in the position to hire others
    2-Black people are clearly the best people for the job

    Honestly, you need to make a comparison between the fields/majors that each of these groups choose to study in college.

    I have a whitey friend who went to a good college for a history degree and ended up going to community college after he graduated from the 4 year university to get a degree worth anything in the real world.

    Maybe the white high school students interview better with proper English and appropriate attire?

    Speak for yourself. There's nothing more racist than the American Left.

    Really? My life experiences have taught me that the republicans are the most racist party (and also the most immoral), (and I'm not even counting the terminally stupid that watch Fox news for actual news).

    That says a lot about your "life experiences".

    Repubs aren't dangling Government handouts in front of blacks and telling them they won't get anywhere in life. That's your team.

    Oh...I see. Just the blacks are poor and take handouts. Thanks for clarifying what team you're on too.

    Those ARE my life experiences. Am I supposed to believe differently because you tell me that's not the case? Or are you going to tell me my life's experiences AREN'T REALLY my life's experiences?

    I recently applied for a Computer Tech job. There ware a lot of applicants one guy had the same education as I do, except he came to the interview with funky hair, tats all over and saggy pants with his underwear showing. A friend of mine got the job. That saggy pants dude could have had a PHD and still wouldn't have gotten the job. Was he qualified, I'd say he was. His appearance and demeanor made sure he would fail.

    thats too much unfair leeway for employers, appearance should never be used to judge productivity that is and always remains to be seen on the front lines.

    If it was my company, I'd have tossed him out without the interview. That isn't the image of my company I want my employees to project to prospective customers. When he can present a positive image of the company he'll be representing, I'd definitely consider him. Sorry, that's just a fact of life.

    for a computer tech job how much face to face interaction with the prospective customer?

    some jobs allow for liberal appearances like that if he was meeting with clients then maybe but not in this instance its an overreach of the private sector

    If I'm a vendor supplying tech services to my customers on site locations? Most large companies outsource for tech services.

    Yes, Racism and Discrimination both play a large factor in the reason while unemployment rates don't match up. Any White person who thinks otherwise is living in a fairytale land, and is in complete denial. However, it isn't the only factor that plays a part. The typical black attitude also plays an equal role in the reason the unemployment rates don't match up, and any black person who doesn't think so is ALSO living in a fairy tale land. Just my very blunt 2 pennies.
