Right, there should have been a black owned tech company by now.
Also considering the immense contribution Black people made to the Sciences, Industry and innovation over the past 100 years, there is no excuse for us to still be looking at cacs to rescue us. Are these graduates even making basic cellphone apps?

Sooo funny seeing all these "Black" posters tripping over their digital d!cks to debunk the findings in this report.

It's a good option, especially with a STEM major. Way better than unsuccessfully roaming the workforce wasting timeI thought about becoming a Nuke once I graduated
it's the least racist.....and most str8 forward industry.Sooo funny seeing all these "Black" posters tripping over their digital d!cks to debunk the findings in this report.

and the main racism in IT isn't even towards blacks, shockingly.... some cacs have some weird resentment towards indians...

I've literally coordinated and managed recruiting operations for tech firms. I've seen positions go unfilled for MONTHS due to a lack of candidates with a good "cultural fit."
Silicon Valley is one of the most racist, sexist, ageist job markets in the world. The makeup of the workforce is not an accident. It's by design.

I never said tech wasn't racist, what I am saying is that the solution is not to demand some diversity programs or affirmitave action, the solution is for black people to increase the number of black stem graduates and for black students to getter grades
Tech is definetly racist just like the rest of the planet
Are you gonna sit around and cry about it and demand some crumbs and place our future in the hands of racist people are or we as black people gonna do something about it independently

That's bullshyt, the tech industry is not anymore racist than any other part of corporate America, if you are black with a stem degree you will have little problem getting a job
And what is the makeup of the tech industry according to you?

Get in here about what? I'm a college dropout breh.
And this report isn't anything new. As long as we continue to have to ask white people to hire us, we will have to deal with racism and white supremacy. The ONLY solution is for us to separate ourselves from our enemies and be completely 100% independent from them. Any place in which they have control, they oppress us.

That solution still leaves us dependent on whites for employment, which is going to always have our unemployment numbers higher than every other group because whites do not want to hire us.
The solution is for us to have our own businesses which require IT solutions. So we can hire ourselves and not depend on our enemy for employment.
As Garvey said almost 100 years ago, any leadership that teaches you to depend upon another race is a leadership that will enslave you.
I said that because we were talking about oppression. Unfortunately, the apologizers hijacked what could have been a productive discussion.

Breh, I chose the wording of my thread very carefully. I wanted to expose the white supremacists on this site. You have people here who dispute all of the reports detailing how blacks are constantly discriminated by whites, you have people here advocating that we just need to work harder and take personal responsibility, THEN white America will finally start to treat us fairly.
We also know that it makes good business sense to be more diverse as a workforce. There are tons of research that show more diverse teams make better decisions, and companies with women in leadership roles produce better financial results. Initiatives are underway to combat oppression and lack of diversity in the corporate world and these CaCs, c00ns, and #newblacks say no thanks?
It's a dumb sensationalist article. As pointed out, they are comparing the nationwide graduation rates to hiring rates in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley companies are very selective. Think of them as the Ivy Leagues of the tech world. They only recruit at the top institutions. So across all races, you are going to have a very small hiring rate compared to the nationwide graduation rate.
What we need are more black Stem students overall and especially at top institutions.

Have you looked at the list of companies BASED in Silicon Valley? Most of them are not selective at all. Most of them have regional offices around the united states. Of course they are going to compare the nationwide graduation rate to the hiring rates of companies BASED in Silicon Valley, because companies BASED in Silicon Valley employ more employees out of Silicon Valley than in Silicon Valley.
