  Although there are only black people in the pictures, how come as a sales professional every major company website and company I visit in the mid south only hires white people even though they “CLAIM” to be EEOC compliant. Perhaps the blacks in the photos of these jobs is to bring the lily white companies compliant with the hiring laws. Ejrout did you think about that?
Mr long

what does it matter if there is only black folks in these pictures? is this 2013 or 1913? seems to me like America still needs a wake-up call, get the hell over what you need to cause as a black man ,I’ve had plenty of people call me out of my name and when it came down to it, they bowed down like a bunch of candy asses. be real, when you go out what kind of music do ya shake you asses to? who is your favorite pro athlete? need I go on? respesct an love………………….

  Can someone tell me when is American going to become the nation we claim to be? We are chasing terrorists in other countries and we have this same issue right here on our own soil. This country after several hundred years still has a lot of racial issues. At first I thought we were changing until I began to research the employee status of major and mid size companies right here in America. What is so sad, all of the retailers desire blacks, whites, Hispanic, Asian etc to spend money at their businesses which by the way are STILL majority own and operated by whites, yet when it comes to employment, it is STILL major discrimination. Whites continue to create new job sites under the table. Now they have even created a venue where resumes are to submitted with your photo attached. They continue to find creative ways for racism. A large portion of them voted in a black president I believe as a front. There is still very little change in this country. How sad, how sad. I know for a fact companies in my region are like this. I review hundreds of them daily. What is particularly sadder is that the oppressor is in denial regarding all of it. The most discriminated against ethnically in the work place are the black women. White women in this region are extremely insecure when it comes to the skill and ability of their black female colleagues. A sister can’t go to work without constant harassment or actions of sabotage of planting seeds in the minds of the male employer to justify firing the black woman. Frankly I don’t know how these weak minded white women can sleep at night with all of the plots and schemes you see in the work place. Am I saying black women do not act like this at times. No I am not. However when you look at the overall picture and the numbers of who is being hired and who is not it raises a question. Why is it blacks, with college education and job experience are usually pushed into the call centers, all of the lower paying jobs and whites with the same experience most of the time seem to qualify for the higher paying jobs. Why is it those black Americans born and raised on US land have to take a second, third, forth, and fifth seat to the other ethnic cultures moving to or just visiting America. Why is it blacks are STILL stereotyped as causing the most crime and whenever you turn on CNN or BBC most of the major crimes in this nation are performed by whites. When is it going to stop? Yes there is a major wake up call needed in this country. – Peace
