Like bruh said I never put my hands in any of the pics and I do just fine on Craigslist. I'm like a master at this shyt by now.

Always manage to get a good deal on there and never had any problems.

Damn for a minute there I was back to clicking African American when asked on job applications.

Not any more

They going to find you out one way or the other.

If you ain't checking "other" and then specifying "exotic" you lost.

Let me guess your phenotype is the average brother at an HBCU?

It's the same way trying to sell / buy stuff on FB groups

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

Just gonna put "Decline to Identify"

They also found that people flagged the ads as inappropriate, which led to them being removed

Not surprising they also be googling your name into Facebook looking if you black

shyt, try renting a house. You email them, it's all good. You talk on the phone, it's (usually) all good. You meet in person, "Oh, the house has already been rented out."

Another reason why as AAs is time to invest and collaborate with Africans in Africa. It's not pie in the sky, it's real shiit. Don't have to worry if your dreads or natural hair style is appropriate in a business meeting in Accra or Dar e Salaam, while you trying to tap into a 1 billion person market. Support African development, but bring some of that capital back to the states, and build up our stuff here too......

I am complete agreement with your post.

I see a lot of the African nations reaching out to professionals in China, Europe, Russia and in the USA to help them on projects. Hell the Africans just end up getting screwed. I would really love to see Africans utilizing African Americans for some of their projects, because but that never seems to happen on a large scale.

I hear some companies look at your address on your resume and if it is in an "urban" area they write you off.

That has crossed my mind too. I'm curious how your address could help or hinder you? Or justification they would use.

They dont have to justify it cause there will be no investigation into why they didnt hire you.
