Oh man, instead of typing out all that I should've just posted this:
Pictures worth more than a thousand words, etc etc.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty find work, times certainly are tough right now. I would not be so quick to assume that this is a race issue though, as everybody is affected by the unemployment problem. Let's all try to keep this from turning this into a racially-centered debate.
it's from a movie... duece bigalow (the 2nd one)
one of the guys claims he's gay to get out of taking a client, and one of the other guys calls him out on it. You asked what would happen if someone called him out on not being homosexual. It was just a joke
Actually pretty funny now that I see what you were talking about...still probably not appropriate...but funny Sorry tommy_ed...I thought you were implying that if you had to perform "favors" to get ahead.
My bad for not understanding your comment!
Slavery goes back to bible times, I don't see people complaining about the bible being racist

@ frisco.
That is a horrible depiction of racism.
It implies EVERYONE white step on EVERYONE black.
It also implies there are no white people in the same position as black people.
The truth is there *IS* racism in the world.
I have known people who have never *ever* mentioned the word racism, unless they seriously felt there is an issue.
Then I have known people, who as I said before.. are taught form a young age what they are "owed"
My personal belief is you are born in no one's debt, and no one is born in your debt. The exception being parents. I firmly believe your parents are born into your debt. They owe it to you to care for you, which in this day in age goes all the way up till college.. The only person you will be indebt to naturally is your children.
I owe no one anything black white or other just because they are poor and I am not.
With that said, I do still believe people who are really trying to raise them self up in life should have opportunity.
Those who want to abuse good will towards those in need, deserve absolutely nothing.
btw I do not now or have ever owned a slave, nor have I profited from some one who owns a slave. Maybe I'm getting the shaft here? I think that in order for there to be reperations made by the tax payer base as a whole then everyone should have been guilty of slavery. In order to fix this and continue payer reperations I say every one who like me has not profited from slavery be given a slave. Just to make things fair ya know

If you read the posts in order you will see that what you quoted from me was written in response to the original post. It was not until after my post that the OP clarified that this was for a position at a university and that it was openly stated during the interview that they were required to look for an applicant that was part of a minority. What you quoted was written under the impression that the OP was not accepted for a position and had assumed it was a race-based decision. In that context, my post was entirely appropriate.Yeah...I wouldn't do that. Boy that would be an embarrassing interview if your interviewer fits into one of those groups and starts to question you on your involvement with those associations!
Only thing that will consistently work to make you stand out is to find ways to save the company money...and to be able to quantify that on a resume.
