2. I'm responding to a particular comment made.... whether or not it has to do with the topic doesn't matter ... this comment needed to be addressed period.

3. But this is the exact route that the vast majority of blacks who started from poverty and got to success have used. It is verifiable by me, one of my interns, my mother, uncles, mother's coworkers, even that uncle tom ben carson.... what are you even talking about? are you talking about poor blacks from a 3rd person perspective or from actually growing up feeling hopeless and then seeing the split between those who burn out and those who move on to success?

1. He's clearly talking about a certain demographic of black people that don't have much opportunity.

"what do you expect me to do if you wont hire me due to my skin color?"

2. You seem to not have understood the comment you are arguing against.

3. That does not mean the opportunities were available for all.

Again to say that the solution is to "try" is to imply that the problem is lack of effort.

no one said there wont be OUTLIERS. But on average. those 3 choices are the choices. its really not rocket science. i cant stand when the select few who were a part of a miracle situation try to preach it as if MOST people will have the same breaks as they did. even if they had to go thru a lot. you still got certain breaks in certain moments to give you that light. NO everyone doesnt have those breaks like you did. If everyone had these breaks, white folks wouldnt have to try so hard to make sure they stay in power. they would know all you have to do is try and a break would come your way. thats not reality for MOST. You need assistance to make it out.

Look, all i'm saying is this. I'm not going to tell you its IMPOSSIBLE. its not. I'm going to tell you it's IMPROBABLE.

White folks are and have made darn sure their success is PROBABLE (some choose other paths). While also making darn sure Black people's success is IMPROBABLE.

If they take their foots off of our necks. It will make their probability of success drop.

stop this nonsense too. sure it sounds great in THEORY. but thats just it. its in theory. Yes they will not hire you in STEM either.

Who's in stem now? White boys, Asians/Indians. a speckle of blacks and hispanics. a speckle of ladies.

if by chance you get in. they will put you at the bottom, where as a white guy with the exact same credentials as you will be brought in at a higher rate/scale. on average.

There is no job market black people can find where we are not discriminated against. Not one.

You will have to be in a majority black city to not catch the discrimination. that is THEE only way.

This.

Im sick and tired pf people on here pushing the stem angle as if blacks getting shut out of those fields due to racism and discrimination isnt possible.

I was honestly sick and tired of getting shafted from decent work even with my extensive resume so i opted to start my own business. Now that ive been through the motions of running my own shop and business i dont think my ego can allow me to work for someone ever again.

Thats if they even want to hire my black ass. I was sick of going to endless amounts of job interviews only to not even get called back or emailed back.

We aint stopping us. They are.

People forget that you dont get a job...somepne has to give you one.

The reality of the situation is...most employers do not want to hire black people. Period. If that wasnt true our unemployment numbers wouldnt be significantly higher than other groups combined.

There are many black men and women unemployed who want to work...the question is who is going to hire them?

Sure...you have a couple of tokens in corporate where they are more than likely there to fill diversity quotas. Other than that the majority of black men and women work in the lowest paying positions there is.

Every AA male and female NEED to get into the stem fields. They can ONLY discriminate so much, but when it comes down to can you do the work they have no CHOICE but to hire you.

This is a pipe dream.

Not every black man or woman is cut out for or wants to do stem. Stop.
