That helps in long run. It helps them get the experience and leadership to get to higher positions or create more successful startups. There's a good reason why Indians are now the CEO of Microsoft and the leading manager of Android and Chrome. It's experience and investment no matter what the cost.

as long as coli nikkaz eat who care about statistics

all coli brehs are employed with good wages
0 percent unemployment on the coli
75k a year is laugable
if you dont make 100k before 25 you are a failure
100k is nothing, i had more money when I was making min wage at walmart

who cares about hte unemployment wage
that wages are stagnant
that the average american household makes 52k a year
that the the median income for Black families is $20 thousand a year less than the American median income which is only 52,000 for a white family but 52k is :mjlol: status

:blessed:

Only 10% of college graduates are black and hispanics, and i'm sure a very small % of that 10% studied computer science or engineering. However, I doubt that's because minorities are not generally interested in STEM, but instead because they are not engaged or encouraged to study hard ass shyt like STEM in this systematically oppressed education system. Unfortunately, that is how the tech companies will defend and argue why they cannot find high-achieving minorities, even though they are out there.

Those are pitful #'s (10% with degrees, 5% hiring) but Tech jobs aren't limited to Silicon Valley.

Go to NY/DC and all you'll see is Minority folks in IT departments.

no, you won't.....
It is the same shyt, everywhere.
it has been like this since 2oo1, as a science, too.

that is a dumb article, where does it show any evidence that black stem graduates are not being hired?

you cant compare the number of blacks in silicon valley to a NATIONWIDE graduation rate, thats stupid, especially when you are talking about single digit percentage points that fall within the margin of error, how do these articles make it through the editing process?

Read my last post, and what are you suggesting?

Yeah, I mean cats are out there, but it is an extremely small quantity. There higher up, the less there is. Imo, there can't be enough cats trying to go into these fields....


I knew a lot of cats who liked "random science shyt", but getting beyond intro classes is struggle for most people within itself....

#certgang come in here and break this down for us :popcorn:

Trick Daddy: You went to college and got a PH.D

Choir: You still a nikka

As a black person you have to be on some next level sh*t for CACs to hire you for a well paying job. You think pro sports would be where it's at if blacks were only marginally better than their white counterparts? :mjpls:

duh


sidebar: I'm in the Bay area right now for biz travel....I found out about a a startup networking event here in "silicon valley" last week...there were two other black people out of about 30 people. Both of them avoided eye contact and any kind of interaction with me and each other....:mjlol:


you know damn well as a prospective black person looking for employment.
you can not brand yourself as an alpha black socialite who is looking for a job.
get real, some of y'all don't live in the real world.
