I hope you’ll discuss them the remainder of the year, too. LOL.

Where is the list for White women?

“Angela Benton is amazing because she is dedicating herself to making sure that
women and minorities have access to the growing number of career
options in technology and new media.”

Isn’t it weird how overt racism is encouraged with some? Why is this allowed? Would such a thing for Whites get such glowing reception? The hypocrisy is jaw-dropping.

Yeah because you know white people were enslaved for 200 years and have virtually no presence in media in addition to it being difficult for them to make it in a society that portrays them as government leeches.

Everywhere.

If you actually read through the descriptions you can just see the Affirmative Action. Like the one that became CEO in less than 6 years. These people are given opportunities BECAUSE they are Black (not “African American” whatever that means – that could apply to Whites!) As I recall, the Xerox one admits she got handouts – she is the one whose story was she was given some position when they saw her in the hallway. I guess someone said “we need a minority because Jesse Jackson is whining again.”

I figured bigoted no-life white males would come to this page just to troll. Saddening.

The Forbes list.

It’s so pathetic that you would even suggest that these women didn’t earn their success or was only considered for the position based on the color of their skin!! You may want to read thorough those bios again because I read that Madam chairwoman and CEO of Xerox started as a Summer Intern!! Idiot! Don’t come on this site making up sh$t just because one of these black women are more successful than you and your entire family will ever be! Go back to school and focus on reading comprehension because apprarently you didnt what you read and maybe get yourself a diploma or degree! You should aspire to be like these successful women ! Don’t hate! Congratulate! Dumba$$!!!

Listen to the story from the Xerox one “Ursula” or whatever her name is. There is a video where she admits it. She was just walking down the hall and someone was looking for a token minority.

“You may want to read thorough those bios again because I read that Madam
chairwoman and CEO of Xerox started as a Summer Intern!! Idiot!”

And? How does that make me an idiot? How does that disprove a single thing I said?

I have many degrees. I don’t have people giving me special handouts because of my race, though.

Xerox itself has been very racist for decades. While I was paying my way, they were giving scholarships to non-Whites ONLY. This is why these companies can’t make a decent product any more – they make decisions based on Political Correctness.

Listen right here at 2:43 where she talks about given this special handout. Stopped in the hall and given things. She seems to think working for Xerox for 3 years was a “long time”? The White people who do all the work are taken for granted – they are not stopped in the hall and given handouts.

You are the one looking pretty stupid.

So if I find one non-White there, you will never post again, right?

Not good enough. Where?

BTW, are any of these “African Americans” succeeding in…..Africa? No?

Now they have been successful, they are going to move to Africa, right? No?

Speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

You know, I really don’t mean any disrespect but the way you are phrasing your arguments seem as if you really think that minorities are just handed these positions! Aside from the circumstances of how they got the position, do you not think that they are capable and smart enough to be in those positions? I mean your comments seem really personal! Not every sucessful minority received a “hand out” ! what are they all dumb?

I also think that we need AA to some degree because believe it or not, there are still people in this country that harbor racism and prejudices and if these people are the ones that are doing all of the hiring then who do you think they’re going to hire? The way you sound God forbid you were in charge of hiring! You seem like you have a score to settle!

You just came across as being really disrespectful and condescending and it’s just not fair to judge a group of people that you frankly no nothing about!!

“you really think that minorities are just handed these positions!”

More than that, I *know* they are.

All standards go out the window with minorities. Let’s look at the fraud Herman Cain. The real records tell quite a different story about his “success” yet the same puff-pieces are written about him. It becomes dogma.

“I also think that we need AA to some degree because believe it or not,”

Who gets to decide that?

is there affirmative action in Africa for Whites? No, this is a selective anti-White agenda.

“…if these people are the ones that are doing all of the hiring then who do you think they’re going to hire?”

Who do you think these Blacks hire? Let’s look at Holder who is embroiled in illegality from civil rights violations (refusing to prosecute Black Panthers) to gun running (Fast and Furious) yet still holds his job. Who hired him?

“The way you sound God forbid you were in charge of hiring! You seem like you have a score to settle! ”

Sounds like this site.

“You just came across as being really disrespectful and condescending and it’s just not fair to judge a group of people that you frankly no
nothing about!! ”

You sound judgemental about Whites.

Are you White? Any strangers stopping you in the hall to give you a boost in your career out of the blue?

Nonkululeko Nyembei-Heita is CEO of a South African company and Joyce Banda is President of Malawi. Selena Cuffe also works in SA. Helen Gayle is working on HIV prevention in 84 countries and Terica Kindred builds entrepreneurship on five continents.
This is just from the blurb in the gallery, which I’ve only read half way through. Some of these women may have done other work in Africa which wasn’t mentioned in the small paragraph describing them.

As it says in her description, CEO Ursula Burns started “as a summer intern”, not grabbed in a hallway. Also in the video you link she describes her childhood: [here], she grew up in a ghetto in the sixties.
I can’t believe I have to explain this, but it’s harder being a black person in the civil rights era than a white person. Even if she was in a minority outreach program (and she wasn’t; it doesn’t say this anywhere) how can you say that it’s unfair that someone who had to work harder than anyone else just for equality shouldn’t be credited for it?

Women make up 51% of the US population but just 13% of engineers, African-Americans are 12% and 5% respectively. If anyone is being hired for their race or gender, it’s not black women.

Clearly there are factors that pressure certain groups out of the Tech industry, unless you think all women are uniformly bad at science. The industry doesn’t want to lose qualified people to stereotypes and advertises to minorities who otherwise would be discouraged from applying and then they hire the best candidate. No self-respecting business would hire people who couldn’t do the job.

No, they preferentially hired unqualified women and minorities.

“No self-respecting business would hire people who couldn’t do the job.”

We know they do – it happens all the time. Look at JaYson Blair. It was admitted he was given jobs and KEPT his job because he is Black.

She most definitely WAS grabbed in a hallway – SHE SAYS IT HERSELF. Don’t you even believe HER OWN WORDS?

” it’s harder being a black person in the civil rights era than a white person. ”

And what exactly does that have to do with anything? It is harder for a White person in this era than a Black person. Shouldn’t Whites be given a handout? Where is the White History Month?

“how can you say that it’s unfair that someone who had to work harder
than anyone else just for equality shouldn’t be credited for it?”

Are you admitting what you were earlier denying, then? What do you mean “credit”? That wasn’t the topic. You mean the JOB? Yes or no?

You’re pathetic.

I guess I called your bluff. Why do you guys have to lie to support your position?

How could the author(s) skip science altogether? Dr. Patricia Bath, anyone? She is a surgeon and inventor who invented devices that saved many people’s eyesight –including some people who’d been blind for 30 YEARS!

John Smith, thank you for injecting sanity here.

Ray Price, you make no sense. In a world where our First Lady, African American, Michelle Obama graduated Salutatorian of her High School Class, With Honors from Princeton, and from Harvard Law School herself, you sit in a time warp refusing to believe reality. Maybe the woman who became CEO in 6 years brilliantly suggested ideas and improvements to the company that made it much more successful, you know, the way OTHER people have risen quickly through the ranks.

You know very well that whites are fairly represented in media, government, and especially business. There is no need for that. Your sole purpose was to come to this video to troll and whine. Stop being loathsome and get a life buddy.

So summarily, we can deduce from your comments that you do not believe that there are cases in which white people are given jobs because they’re white?

Oh and while we’re at it, we can also surmise that you are an unapologetic bigot.
