Did I say it ALL boiled down to that?

Just sayin....

If someone shows up in dreadlocks (black OR white), or they are a white guy with some ghey Beatles/emo frock that covers one of their eyes, they will NOT get an MBA-type job with a Fortune 500 company.

Now, if this is some puny little 200-employee firm where people wear T-shirts everyday, then yeah, maybe he'd get hired.

All we know from this article is "When I walked into the interview they looked at me funny because I was Black".........Proof please? Maybe it was because they looked like shit or didn't know how to dress.

Does racial discrimination still affect Blacks, hell yes..........But the reverse is true as well....Many firms actively try to hire more Blacks. Especially my industry, we are like 99% White or Asian, lol.
