Black Techies Being Terminated In Droves

The last in first out Negro hiring strategies:

Let’s be realistic, Black people. The tech industry, largely dominated by White and Asian men, has historically created hidden barriers for Black people to be successful within the industry. Unless entry-level Black people are able to introduce new innovations, revive failing companies, or aid tech companies in beating out their competition, then success rates for Black people within the fast-evolving tech industry will remain relatively low. Unlike the NBA and NFL, the tech industry’s core hiring practices do not thrive on merit alone but rather rely on the accommodation of social classes and ethnic groups to maintain a dominant workforce of White and Asian people.

There is both a racial element and arrogance within the industry that subscribes to the belief that Black people are fundamentally entertainers and sports figures, not scientists, technologists, and intellectuals. If Black people don’t begin taking the necessary risks and investing heavily in their own ideas and companies, then the 21st century will fundamentally fail African Americans and the broader Black community. The same failure will feed into a much larger dynamic where Black people’s political powers are further eroded, denying them the capacity to either influence and/or undergo constructive change, to be gainfully employed, and to flourish within the world’s rapidly evolving tech industry.

Why aren’t Black attorneys suing the tech industry for its lack of diversity and programs that allow Black students more entry-level opportunities to compete in an industry that’s predominantly White and Asian?

The dissolution of affirmative action and the whitewashing of African American history, which is American history, are the telltale signs that America is flirting with the resurrection of its ugly past. Let’s wake up, Black people. Lay off the booze and recreational drugs. Democracy is literally being destroyed along with our right to be free and prosper the same.
