Steve, like I said before, if you are a black man with an engineering degree, high-tech companies such as Intel are literally climbing over each other to hire you. To which the affirmative action proponents will move the goal posts and point to the fact that very few black students graduate from engineering. By the way, I'm still waiting for Z to tell me how he wants to "equalize the outcomes" between Google and my own high-tech startup. I can even claim that my technology reduces global warming. Just like IBM was able to claim that their POWER6 technology, which is so hot it requires water-cooling, is actually good for the environment: youtube.com Tenchusatsu

>Here in Arkansas they do, it's the law, which I believe it's a federal law. If you know of any opportunities that have been denied to blacks, you need to report them. There was a study done -- on average, for the same job, a black man with no criminal record is as likely to get the job as a white man with a criminal record. A lot of it is unconscious, but the system is still stacked against black people. >I say Obama got there on his own. How about you? I say he did, too. For one thing, though, he wasn't raised in an inner-city ghetto. -Z
