Exactly. the sick part is they do go after the NBA and NFL, for not enough coaches and executives all while ignoring the blatant way-over-representation on the playing field.

Jesse protests snow being 100% white. Insists it should be dyed to match the racial makeup of individual Congressional Districts.

Maybe he moved past shakedown to protection? Keep up the payments so that bad press doesn't suddenly appear and hurt your reputation?

“Thats why so many people from India excel in IT”
Eh, not so fast. Most are very adapt at theory but when challenged to produce real-world solutions the projects usually are over designed and overly complicated trying to implement “book smarts” and need to be re-designed or scrapped altogether after months/years of work. Only after a good exposure to proper US techniques does their stuff work.

Math is notoriously racist and sexist.
Yep. That's why "they" tried to get "black math" and "feminist math" accepted as recognized practices and disciplines to be able to recruit more members of those demos in to the technical disciplines.

Spent 30 years in IT. I managed 30 people in my section. Not one of them was black. Not one. Does that make me a racist? Nope.
In those 30 years I never once had a black applicant for any position - never. Contrary to Affirmative Action, it’s a field in which you have to produce. You don’t just hire someone in order to meet racial quotas, they have to have game.
So, Jesse, my man, how could I have hired a diversity-person when no such person presented as a potential candidate? I’m at a loss as to how I do that. Were I to go out and forcibly herd in diversity candidates Jesse would have showed up to protest my trampling of their minority rights.
Logic escapes these people.

That's just the fear factor coming from when they see him," Graves says, "because they know he's not going to go away going to make them PAY."

When worked in IT, we always reveled in the fact that all the network admin folk, and our IT dept was a conservative. No libtards at all!
We always joked about how it was because it took brains to do IT work. Just sayin'...

I’ve got my tin foil hat on. Weren’t there stories this past week on “internet access as a right” and “ObamaCare numbers aren’t good because people are too stupid to use the BHO care website”?

I hope T.J. Rogers jumps in this little fray. Jackson tried this with Cypress Semiconductor 10 or 15 years ago and Rogers slapped Jesse down, in the press and on TV, and called him out for what he is, a shakedown artist.

Jesse, Jesse, Jesse,
Neither you, nor any of your sub-IQ minions, could qualify to clean the toilets at Apple.
However, Google may have room for you ...to help design one of their politically correct laughable daily logos.
Oh, I have the pleasure of knowing a number of African-American STEM workers...all of whom have the very well deserved term “Dr” preceeding their names.

How about the discrimination at some firms against workers older than 35?

The better thing to do was for the CEO of HP is to challenge him with all relevant facts regarding problems within the black community and then ask Jessie what is he doing to try and curtail it. Good idea. Here's more. The CEO could show Jesse Jackoff ALL the misspelled applications and resumes received from "his people". Show him the pre-hire drug test results. Show him the absentee and efficiency reports. Etc. Etc.
I know.. I know... that'd be racist.

Werent there stories this past week on internet access as a right and ObamaCare numbers arent good because people are too stupid to use the BHO care website? Are you suggesting that Democrats are hypocrits because from one side of their mouth they say that people are too stupid to use the computer and internet, and from the other side of their mouth they say that not enough minorities are hired into IT?

Blacks and Hispanics make up 13.1 and 16.9 percent of the U.S. population That statistic doesn't equate to 13.1 & 16.9 percent that are qualified for tech positions.
I'll bet these tech companies already hire every qualified minority that can along with the required diversity training for their White employees.

TJ does not suffer fools lightly, and his neurons fire off at an amazing speed.

At what point does it become high tech industry's problem when Black kids choose to stay in bed and not to go to school, knowing their parents won't do anything, or are too afraid of the kid, to do anything about it? When did it become high tech industry's problem about all of those Black students who majored in African-American or women's studies because they don't want to have to think, or solve quadratic equations? At what point did it become high tech industry's problem because the national Black leadership chooses to lead from a position hiding behind the title of reverend rather than a legitimate academic degree in something other than religious studies?
