For the record, he has not hire a black person into his department ever. The white male was selected strictly through NEPOTISM and not on qualifications.

You wanted to be chosen by a black man because he's an Alpha. That's nepotism. You mentioned your qualifications as an aside.
If your company as EEOC policies and you feel unfairly overlooked, take that approach. Leave the 1906/Black Man Nepotism defense out of the equation.
However, if you can't PROVE that you were more qualified and that the other man was chosen via nepotism, save your time.

Well, welcome to old news, brutha. But you as a hard working qualified man will also get ahead if you have people in the right places. It just didn't work that way for you this time around. You seem young (an older man probably wouldn't post what you posted on here), so there's still time.
