The things that happened to black people "before we were born" explains the socioeconomic disparity we still have to this day between black and white people, it's not as easy to beat the system and go up in the socioeconomical ladder as the liberals want us to believe. "Oh, but we already have perfect race equality, we should just help the poor independent of skin color then!" Yes, we should, but we should also stop pretending racism doesn't still exist, and doesn't still make it much harder for black people to get jobs, to get *good* jobs, to get raises, to go up in life, than it is for white people to have all those opportunities. Data from last year, LAST YEAR, shows black women are still the demographic with most challenges to find jobs, and as a result, the most unemployed too. If you have interest in actually learning, you can do your own research, but this is a good start: https://www.essence.com/news/money-career/black-women-leading-unemployment/ “It’s layered—this being an election year definitely plays a part but what sits on top of that is the repeal of the affirmative action legislation in addition to the rollback of DEI,” says Patrice Williams-Lindo, change management consultant and founder of career pivot strategy firm Career Nomad. “As you think about what that looks like, it means that we start out behind the gate already, whether from entry level all the way up to leadership. We make up less than 7% of all C-suite levels across the nation.” It's never too late to start learning. |
Fantastic non-biased source ... also as to the quote - at a 50 / 50 split (male / female) and black people being 13% of the US population isn't "less than 7%" almost perfect representation if you consider black females to be about 6.5% of the US?
Sorry if I offend anyone by saying black versus African-American but not all people of dark pigment are here directly from Africa. Hell I think unless you are within a generation or two of immigrating to the USA you are just another American from the melting pot. I would bet that there are very very few people in the USA with pure African bloodlines.
