Racism is running rapid in America. We should find an avenue to help with this social cancer. Learn the law and sue these companies, In Pro Per”. Study, study. Don’t let them hoodwink you.

I do sort of wish she’d not made jabs about how “white people must not be really suffering,” because I know getting a job for me has been hellish (ie, not happening), and I am white with a college degree.

I’m not discrediting what is said here, but you don’t have to make nasty insinuations to make your point.

Anyone that have read Freakanomics, has read the chapter that discloses the portion of blatant discrimination for people with ethnic sounding names.

If this doesn’t fire up my fellow non-white people to start their own businesses, I don’t know what will…

When these businesses won’t give you the equality you need, then you go out and fight smart in your own lane creating passive income. Make something. Sell something (legally lol). Share something. Create away…

On that note, that’s exactly what I’m getting back to in 5, 4, 3, 2…

In response to ‘Yeah Right’- slavery has been a part of all cultures for eons. It is one thing to have individuals subjugated within ones own nation, it is another for a different nation to take it to a whole other level. Yes, African’s sold Africans to the Europeans, they also sold fellow Africans to Arab nations. But, the way in which European’s then CHOSE to treat African slaves is why so many African Americans feel aggrieved now, and rightly so.

To all intents and purposes America is no different to Apartheid South Africa – it’s simply the fact that you put a glossy American spin on it!

While some of this may be true, this experiment would only have been valid if you created TWO accounts at the exact same time, the white and the black.

The confounding variable here is that new profiles get first looks by a bunch of recruiters who get notified on new profiles.

This is a case of “if you look for something to support your worldview, you will find it”.

I suggest trying it again with TWO new profiles.

This is not surprising. It took me awhile to find that the person’s name was “Yolanda”. Which does in fact signal a non-white female but certainly not low-class or uneducated. The way some people in our community name their children its no wonder that they can’t get ahead in life “Shaquita” anybody WTF?? Anyways I have a regular name “Tracy” with a very plain last name and still can’t find a (another) job so the market really is tight. I will however make sure that from now on not to EVER identify my race on an application. They can see my race when they bring me in for the interview. That was really enlightening.

It’s in fact very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, so I only use world wide web for that purpose, and get the hottest news.

Take a look at my web-site –
