Black Google Engineer "Google hires the whitest black candidates"

nikkas juelzing in here but we all know what she means and it doesn't have anything to do with black people being a monolith

Perhaps if we actually owned our businesses and hired each other we wouldnt have to worry about this shyt.

Since we don’t and have to rely on whites for our livelihood, they get to determine what type of blacks they prefer to hire and black people smart enough to want to advance will try and be those types.

In summary: stop crying and start your own businesses or accept the reality.

How many "stereotypical blacks" do y'all know getting these advanced degrees though?

Let's be serious here

Whats stereotypical black? shyt I got advanced degrees so do many of the brothas and sistas I know.

These regular black folks who grew up in middle class and poor. Grew up in the midwest, south and east coast. They do everything regular so called black folks do.

Is that black woman from the hood or inner city? Because if that’s the case I could understand that feeling she’s talking about ( I struggle with this myself) but she also looks biracial which could mean she’s trying to learn her “blackness” and is using racial stereotypes of what she wants.

That's why it's extremely dangerous to make those types of statements. Those are the type of statements that can metastasize and lead to occurrences or comments like being smart and getting good grades is "acting white" because people want to put the Black experience into one box.

Respect to her for putting her name on it. Hopefully it doesn’t affect her professional career.

Like your fukkin “respect” is going to help her future professional prospects

I know what she is saying. Basically black folks who don't mess with other black folks.

@Lil Gator Reloaded is a tragic mutt whose white side consistently makes gay jokes. Ignore him.

Actually not necessarily a lot of law firms get their "black talent" from Howard Law that sometimes a Black law student who went to Harvard might get overlooked.

So actually make good arguments instrad of smileys this is a legit serious conversation to have instead of stupid ass condescending qoutes "why is it so hard to understand?"

Law firms recruit from Howard because its Howard - how many Law firms recruit from NCCU, UDC or Grambling?

Mind you I literally have cousins who went to Harvard and ones that went to UDC and NCCU.

And they are Vastly different and grew up in different environments.

 

[duncanthetall]

Who does she think is spending the time to get those degrees with their eyes set on getting hired by google? This is a bogus take, lady

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

So is it really that far of a stretch that people who hold the same interests, went to the same schools, and got the same degrees would be similar regardless of race? It’s like black people are the only ones that aren’t allowed to have depth. Everybody has to be a certain way or else they’re not a “real” black person.

Watching Friends, wearing Patagonia and eating hummus is “depth”??

 

[Rekkapryde]

you know it will. "you just arent living up to our expectations anymore, do you really want to work here?"

that probably is gonna work in her favor in this case. Fire her and the PR will look real and validate the criticism. They don't want that. Believe that. Might not be much, but her speaking out could get another black head or two into the fold.

Stop moving the goal post you insinuated in your initial post that HBCU were not considered by companies to get their talent i gave you an example of one granted it's a quality school now you want to stratify HBCUs that was not your initial statement.

And of course people are going to hire people who went to institutions with great reputations Howard is one of them and its still a HBCU.

I thought it was cool they mentioned this in watch dogs 2. "Code switching" and everything

Actually they did code switching in GTA San Andreas at times. The game just wasn't based an office setting. But CJ did code switch at times when dealing with non black or latin chararcters.

 

[Cadillac]

how did you nikkas turn this into a "sterotypical black vs non sterotypical black", and complain about code switching and the younger gen in this thread?

The article explains what she means espescially with the Clarence Thomas reference.

Yall nikkas call mfs like Clarence Thomas and others of his ilk c00ns every day, now yall nikkas can't comprehend wtf she saying and now misconstruing her and the article's message
