Obviously there is a difference between Jim Crow laws and Tariq looking out for a black guy when he has work to hire someone to do
But we are not facing Jim Crow levels of discrimination anymore.

IOW, its silly to say a white hiring manager picked a white candidate today because they have the same seeds of racial hatred as certain whites decades ago on its own... but its especially ridiculous when Tariq does the same thing for reasons that can be applied to anybody (looking out for their own at the expense of others). You can't cry about discrimination and then discriminate yourself. If you can't understand that,
