I'm literally fucking married to a black woman who works for a major bank and this asshole wouldn't notice her resume, which is outfitted with two Harvard degrees, if she fucking bedazzled it. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1308506883595153410
The problem these people have is not that there is a limited talent pool. It's that they don't want to do any work to look for it. When they find it, they don't want to invest in developing it. And when it's developed they don't want to PAY for it.
When you're Black, unless you went to one of 3 or 4 schools, YOU have to find them, and convince them to "take a shot" on you. Once you get there, you pretty much have to mentor and train yourself. And when you pop your head up on the lateral market, you don't get poached.
The most insidious thing is "typecasting." So, if you're Black and good at something, white bosses thing "great, let's keep blackie doing that thing they're good at."
If you're white and good, white bosses think "Hmm, white man did THAT so good, we should get him to do THIS."
If you're white and good, white bosses think "Hmm, white man did THAT so good, we should get him to do THIS."
Sorry. I'll stop. It felt momentarily good to be angry at something *other than* the impending destruction of our democracy.
