Yeah, too bad my older brother who’s worked extremely hard to get his two degrees can’t get a job right now because he’s blond haired and blue eyed. In one of his group interviews he was practically ignored because the other guys applying for the same job were minorities. He has a double major in history and poli-sci from a UC, but these guys with only one major from state school automatically go to the top of the list. Racism works both ways. For my brother’s profession, being a male with blond hair and blue eyes automatically puts him on the bottom of the employment pile.

I am going to call bullshit on this, especially considering that a white male with a FELONY RECORD has a higher chance of getting a job than a black male with no record,the fact that my college degree as a black woman will be worth a white man’s HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, and that unemployment is DOUBLE that of whites IN EVERY SINGLE SOCIOECONOMIC CATEGORY.

Now please tell me why a black MASTERS DEGREE is worth less overall that a white bachelors?

Why a white felon has a better chance at getting a job than a law abiding black man?

Because this is supposed to be the land of merit and opportunity, right? RIGHT?
