VICE has some black people working for them. I went there for an interview a couple months back. They're obviously not the majority.

How did the interview turn out, you got a gig?

There's a couple black writers. One is named Khal and the other is named Frazier Tharpe also there's a on camera personality who guys by Jersey Jinx.

They have people of every race there it's just that it's not as black as you'd think a Hip Hop based site would be.

Their offices are majority white. Like damn near every corporate office place in America.

The interview was fine. It was with an old co-worker. But I did not get it. Another mutual friend(female African American) was given the position.

Good to see more black voices in media. Do you have anything you wrote we can read? Were you the dude who had this article in a big publication?

I'm on the technical side of things. I should have been more clear.

It was in their master control room/ingest department. Yes, I am.

Technical. Writing. In front of a camera. What matters most is that you're in there and you're doing your thing man!

Didn't know where else to post this but this is why it's important for black people to have jobs at these places, for an eventual big move like this at a label or production company.

White people just taking control of everything remotely "Black" and "urban" in media/entertainment it seems like. I doubt a black person in this climate could EVER get that position.

White privilege = Being able to get a high ranking position in a company based off of black art/product with black artists/producers without having to be remotely involved with the "culture". whatever that is these dayz.
