Diversity is racism. We are all human beings. Period. Why not start giving jobs to people with blue eyes? See how ridiculous AA is?
As far as networking: what a crock! You mean politics; that's really what it is!

Bitter much, white dude ?
" Lighten up, Francis......one of these men (snork- or women) might save your life one of these days.
(Then again, one of them might not...)"

Yeah, exactly. You know the truth; sarcasm can't hide that. And who says I'm white?!?

You do....with each and every embarrassing reference you make to race and gender.
True story.

Racism is a terrible thing. Affirmative action and things like it were put into place because "minorities" have been locked out and discriminated against in our country for centuries. That is the truth. In before the lock.

It's REALLY hard to try to convince brain washed people anything. EDUCATE: we are ALL one race

No, that's NOT the truth; you know this! AA was put into place for POLITICAL reasons. Once again you know this. Cognitive dissonance

Your name describes it all.

It's as if these kind of threads give a certain few people the excuse they need to rail against the world for the injustices they've experienced. It's not about AA, it's about people that blame all their misfortunes on it. It's not part of the discussion because there's no evidence (stats, etc) to support people being hired right now on the basis of it, but again, a little comment is all a few people need to "go off" and start whining about the injustice of the world. Get over it. I'm no more a fan of AA than anyone else here, but a few people are dead set that there's some giant conspiracy against them...

What is the history of race relations in America towards minorities? We do have an ugly past in our country in that regard. Perhaps you need a history lesson.

Cute......born on second base thinking he hit a double, yet screams 'cognitive dissonance'.
You aren't terribly good at this, are you ?

Try to keep up, Loon; consider stepping away from the keyboard- do come back when/if you have anything of substance to offer regarding the importance of PIC time. Your mental lethargy, embarrassing though it be, really does little to offer any insight into anything beyond your bigotry.
