First job interview with a black manager

[Primetime21]

This wasn't directed to me but I've hired a lot of people and been a part of hiring a lot of people and a lot of them black

In a lot of cases I've had no pushback. It'll be me and another manager joint interviewing a candidate and I will give the "good to go" a little more aggressively - like say things like "I like him/her...he's a go getter I can tell" - and the other non-black partner will usually just and not put up a stink.

I can say though that I've had 2 interviews that stick out (one male one female) where I wasn't able to help.

The young man was unqualified and the amount of

about his resume and how he could use the skills from previous work just couldn't cut it.


The woman we interviewed got too comfortable too soon. She could tell I wanted to hire her and so she relaxed a little too much. My co-manager asked a question and the lady pulled her phone out to respond to a text while the lady was asking later in the interview the other manager said "do you feel you would be able to focus on these tasks daily" trying to get her to address the lack of focus on the interview and the woman said something about being a great multi-tasker and the other manager just wouldn't let it slide since the lady we were trying to hire would've been on her team. I tried to say "maybe it was an emergency" and she hit me with the

I went on a interview with this black lady and she asked me is pay was ok and I said "it's cool" then she gave me a lecture saying if she wasn't black I wouldn't talk like that.. Didn't get the job.. I go on a interview with a white guy and I say the same thing when it gets to pay "it's cool" got the job and they paying me double what the other job was offering.

Still though "it's cool"?

Black women were responsible for me getting a job and getting promoted

My first and only interview was with a black woman. She wasn't going to give me the job and kept looking at me crazy as if my answers to her questions weren't good enough, then a white assistant manager happened to walk in the interview room and said he'd take over the interview. He ended up giving me the job.
From personal experience, any workplace problems I've ever had involved black women. I was fired from said job by a black woman, and her reason for firing me was a story she made up. I was fired at least 2 weeks AFTER her made up story supposedly happened. The same job I got fired from I was getting praise by my white supervisor for my work ethic
I love black women, but a lot of them in managerial positions clearly have some type of agenda.

Hold up, it could have been another black dude who just answered the interview questions better than you. Maybe he had more experience than you.
Maybe it was a female who was an airhead, but she had a legit donk. Can't blame the system on that because you would have done the same thing.

Still though "it's cool"?

Yep... I go to every interview dressed regular and I talk the same way I do at home. As long as I get the job done it shouldn't matter what I say.. That was the only job I didn't get..

How do you know the other candidate wasnt black?

That was my first thought- second thought was maybe the other person was more qualified.

I go hard in the paint for qualified blacked candidates

I’ve been on Wall Street long enough to see the game at a lot of firms. Candidates getting offers because they simply played lacrosse at the same school or part of the same Connecticut country club

I try and do my part

I only had ONE black manager that was cool. The rest of em can eat a dikk. They usually arrogant n try to keep down other nikkaz tryna advance. They ALWAYS kiss white ppl ass.....but they coining n dancing backfires, cuz they always get passed over by a white person

I think once you've seen it, there is NO WAY you won't feel the desire to go hard for black folks and NO WAY you won't act on it once you get to that level of making hiring decisions. Seeing kids get hired cause they did 'Crew' at Harvard, studied Law at UVA or because 'if we hire Bernard's son, maybe he'll let me in his boutique fund sub $100M" or whatever other selfish and/or elitist motives that they have makes you upset because blacks just don't have that type of foundation to exploit...of course, most people don't, but blacks more so than others. Hell, even watching Asians hire every Kevin, RaeKwon and Jason Xiu, Lee, Kim and Cheung they can, makes me uptight. They have absolutely no shame about it either. It's only blacks that want to seem so 'unbiased'...

As a black person, there is NO WAY you can be comfortable on a panel and listening to them describe a black candidates answers as "un-eloquent" or "aggressive" or "rehearsed" (which is just code for, no way this black person is smart enough for this job) and not feel some type of way of about it. I just don't see how you could just not care as a black person, hearing blatant coded discrimination and then join right along with it.
