White privilege,
I was not even going to respond to you, because you are such an easy target. The year of the "Angry White Male" was in 1994, you are a little late. You really make me laugh though. The fact that a few African Americans have been able to gain access to areas that was once off-limits to them is in no way a detriment to you. If you are as good as you portray yourself to be, then you will have no problem trust me.
The fact that you cannot have 99% of the good jobs does eat at you, and I can understand that you may not want to share 5 or 10% of the jobs out there with women or non-whites. I can understand the anger and utter frustration of having to deal with people whom you feel are lesser than you. It will be ok, If you ever get to Washington, DC look me up, we can go hangout. I am sure the brothers would love to talk to you.
As for your not being able to find qualified workers, please. African Americans have to be twice as good at what we do, just in order to make it in today's society. I had a job a few years ago, and I knew that I was the badest M... F... in the building. I use to tell my boss the same thing, and he couldn't deny it, because my numbers proved it. What I am basically trying to get to you (well not really because you have a closed mind), but what I am saying to you is that you are wrong in thinking or saying standards have to be lowered to fit us. Hell, I out perform most of my white counterparts. But then again I am a NUPE, and that is what is expected of me.
Peace and Luv, to all except White Privilege,
