ex. Arthur Anderson a former major accounting firm s.f. had only one black secretary in the building.
And why is that?
Kimba honestly we have made several conscious efforts to hire black office staff....with ZERO luck.
Hired several....none worked out.
Could it happen if we kept trying?
Yeah maybe.
Are there blacks that could be great for us?
Of course there are....
But how much effort can a business spend to find a needle in a haystack?
We are a business and can not spend exorbitant amounts of time looking and looking.
We've got a full-time business to run and the challenges that brings.
We have hired lots of employees over the years.
A certain percentage are flakes and the flakes come in all colors.
We have found a few superstars, kept them, and paid them well.
All the superstars have thus far been white and hispanic.
We have some super-star black contractors, but when offered office jobs they wanna stay put as contractors.
So what is one to do?....To automatically assume it's due to racism is a silly conclusion.
Do you or anyone else really believe that had we found a black superstar
that we would not have kept them in our office because of their skin color?
That is laughable at best....
Hell we don't care if your skin is purple, green, or yellow as long as you show up everyday and work your ass off.
