Anti-black hiring discrimination hasn't improved in 25 years.

[Prince.Skeletor]

Between 1990 and 2015, white job applicants got 36% more callbacks than black applicants, a study finds.

A new meta-analysis examining hiring bias in the US challenges the idea that racial bias against job seekers of color is diminishing. The analysis, conducted by Northwestern University researchers, examined nearly 56,000 applications submitted for more than 26,000 job openings.

Between 1990 and 2015, the analysis found there was no change in hiring discrimination against African Americans. White applicants received 36% more callbacks than black applicants and 24% more callbacks than Latinos.

The vast majority of studies used names to do so – “Lakisha” and “Jamal” versus “Emily” or “Brandon” would be the kind of names that signal race and ethnicity. They found out that Emily and Brandon get significantly more callbacks for job interviews than Lakisha and Jamal do.

Don't name your child Lakeisha or Jamaal. If you insist, make it their middle name. I have a "normal" first name. Middle name black as hell.

For me I usually got the job but then always experienced silent racism at the workplace.
Things got a little better I will admit

Many will say they don't got money to start your own business
and then there is the problem with banks being racists and not business loans to non cacs.

What needs to happen is community!
A group of black people open their own business rather than individuals.

Jews have become richest religious group in American society. They make up only 2% of US population, but 25% of 400 wealthiest Americans.
A study of the Pew Forum institute from 2008 found that Jews are the richest religious group in the US: Forty-six of Jews earn more than $100,000 a year, compared to 19% among all Americans.

Jews are well represented in Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the US Congress and Administration, Hollywood, TV networks and the American press – way beyond their percentage in the population.

The Jews were the first people to undergo globalization," says Rebecca Caspi, senior vice president of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). "They had a network of global connections way before other nations, and a strong and supportive community.

"The Jewish communal organization is considered a role model for all other ethnic groups. It helped the Jews everywhere and especially in the US, which was always more open than other countries and provided equal opportunities, while on the other hand –wasn't supportive of the individual."

"The Jews had to excel in order to survive," says Avia Spivak, a professor of economic and former Bank of Israel deputy governor. "I once had a student of Russian descent, who told me that his parents said to him, 'You must be the best, because then you might get a small role.'

"That was the situation of the Jews abroad, and in America too until the 1960s. The most prestigious universities didn't take in Jewish students, so they studied in colleges and got the best grades. When the discrimination disappeared, the Jews reached the top."

Black people need to support black businesses and all that...


But how many people you know are truly willing and able to sacrifice to build up someone else's business? Because that is truly what we need.

We are already 400 years behind the curve as far as grabbing our hold in the market share but even with the stigma of black businesses being "not as high of quality", its difficult to get black people to build and grow with other black people towards a common goal. Its bad enough we are only 12% of the population, which means we'd be lucky to have 12% of the market share but its rare you get people willing to play their part in growing a company...

How about you raise your children so they can be successful despite their name.

Most of these articles deal with people who aren't applying for good jobs, don't use recruiters, dont have good networking etc.

Blacks should build wealth however they so choose and however makes then happy.

But if you're not getting a lot of callbacks you might want to change the name you go by on your resume. Or you could just sit here and complain.

Don't be afraid to game a system rigged against you.

Be more concerned with assimilating than building a society where you children and grandkids can live comfortably brehs
