People really need to GET SOME COMMON SENSE.
Check out this headline from the ad trade mag ‘Advertising Age’: Agencies not only lack black workers, they pay them less.
Before I get into this dumb article, let me just say SO WHAT. I don’t care if my company is 99.9% white or 99.9% black. I just want the right people for the job. If I happen to get a whole bunch of qualified black applicants then I’ll hire them.
It goes on to describe the NAACP’s suit against the ad industry for ‘pervasive racial discrimination’. They have all sorts of wonderful figures about how black workers make 20cents less on the dollar than whites and how whites on average make 64k while blacks make 51k.
WHY SHOULD WHITES AND BLACKS MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY!? All things are never equal when you’re trying to break down a group of people into such nonsensical categories as color.
WHY DO WE GIVE THIS SHIT THE TIME OF DAY!? How can this even be taken seriously? The ad industry is made of up of some of the most progressive people around and the fact that they focus so much on ‘diversity’ is probably the reason this is getting any attention at all.
Let’s just come out and say it. CULTURALLY we have a divide. And culture often determines how productive someone will be in society. Unfortunately, there has long been a movement in black America to define blacks along very stringent lines and they have assigned value to things that will generally make blacks less productive members of society (therefore people we don’t want to hire). That divide has been perpetrated not by whites but by blacks. Beyond that, who even cares to look at black vs. white anymore? How about instead we evaluate character, ability, experience and other relevant matters?
Unfortunately, ‘whites’ and just generally business professionals overall have no balls and have been stiff-armed by our governments into making ‘diversity’ (AKA preferential treatment based on the color of your skin) a major part of how we hire. So we’ve empowered this these unproductive cultural elements into thinking that what they are doing is justified and, worse, useful.
The least that sane people could do is stand up and call bullshit on it.
one more link, just for fun: Someone on the news said ‘Colored People’ when speaking with the president of the National Association for the Advancement of ‘Colored People’ and then he had to come back on and apologize on TV. HAHAHAHA. Our culture is stupid.
