I have four degrees including a doctorate, and every time I exceeded their expectations in Florida, I was fired. I have been told that the problem was is that I needed to take off my education on my resume. I am not making this up. And then they say all black people in America want is to stay on welfare, sell drugs, and commit crimes. You think by getting an education you are breaking the negative stereotypes of black people in this country. But they don’t want you to break those negative stereotypes, especially in the south. They want you to live up to those negative stereotypes by denying who you are and what you have achieved. America, this country, is something else. It is full of lies and hypocrisy.
You need help
Feels all of your statement, Dr. Sims. Slippery slope.
I’d suggest leaving US and go to United Kingdom
@@lauragrace3270 no, it is not for you decide. She can go any where she choose to go whenever she wants
Self employment
We had black neighbors the couple were a doctor and one was a lawyer. So many neighbors wanted them out. Really wrong
And I bet you, the neighbors who want them out are all from a local congregation. They call themselves Christians, and they love Jesus.
@@lucasdavid7340 In my experience, it has been White Christians who have been the most racist to me. Both in school and work I have experienced this.
This is FACT .100%
The bias is Real. Still persists.
2 degrees and 3 state licenses.
Apply your brains out, interview til bone tired. I went Entrepreneur.
Grind for myself. The Hate is seriously Real.
Stay safe 🙏
I am going through this right now man. I am getting really tired of it and ready to go a different path. Can you give me more advice about the Entrepreneur route you take? Thanks
@@SChome100 I'm a Commercial Leasing agent. Self employed.
I'm also an Actor. I grind 💪 Determined. Driven. I learned that you not only have this obvious against you elevating, BUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE TOO!! You have to be your BIGGEST FAN AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Has linked in worked for you on the entrepreneur route?
@@IncognitoSprax nothing. I earn through my 🎬 acting roles and Commercial Leasing
@@toddtoure7041 Damn. And here I am putting time to my profile to keep spreading myself around.
You will be retaliated against, I have experienced it, was forced to leave.
Do NOT include a photo if you are a minority in an industry with very few minorities.
never include a photo
Agreed
This has always happened and will continue to happen in this country's workforce. The dominant society is well aware of this, because they created and continue to perpetuate this structure in employment. These news stories are a waste of time, and actually are patronizing without any charge for substantive improvement/change. Create other avenues young Black professionals. You've always been the talent, efficiency, and driving force of these companies.
Exactly
I have a Biblical name and i was not getting any responses to my resume. I changed my name to a common name and with in a week I had two job offers. I took one and I have been with the company now for 10 years. I am the only black person in my whole department. I have seen a few others hired but for some reason they didn’t work out. I learned to say less. Work hard and speak only when spoken to and that has allowed me to work 10 years in a job I love. I feel valued and respected but for some reason they don’t like when you take a leadership role. We saw the consequences of electing a Black President and where we have been as a result over the past 5 years.
Boom! Truth bomb
Totally!
@monier naga No Naga
This is FACT! And what's worse is that when Black Americans finally do get into leadership roles, their peers; people above and below make your first time experience so toxic and unbearable, that for some it deters them from ever wanting to be a leadership role again. The universe doesn't like ugly and people taking part in the dismantling and breaking down of a person's spirit will pay for it 100 fold. Yes, I've had to "whiten" my resume for every position I've applied for.
#CHUCH 🙌🏾. I thought it was just me.
HI ANDREW, I MISS SEEING YOU ON THE KAREN HUNTER SHOW. GREAT JOB!
Are you listening Utah?
Yeah sometimes the corporate world f u over, a lot of people start their own business.
I've worked in corporate America & it is racially biased, and I worked in the MAIL ROOM! A whole lot of bias even in that dept it was a corporate law firm were I remember there being only 2 lawyers. I was let go over some trifling stuff I have a European name so to me it doesn't matter what your name is discrimination is discrimination. I won't bother entering corporate & instead go into healthcare nursing going into home healthcare or nursing homes were everyone eventually ends up..
As a professional, if the first thing you are doing to address potential discrimination you are doing something wrong. Any employee is supposed to know how to address any potential discrimination at any job, whether for you personally or people behind you.
Also, a professional should know how to progress their career and make sure that there is a clear record of goal setting, accomplishments and feed back on your performance throughout the year so that there are no surprises when time comes for promotions and other things. This is just basic career building. The problem is some companies are very laid back and don't have explicit policies on documenting goals, expectations and feedback on what you did right or wrong throughout the year. That is critical both for you as the employee to improve your weaknesses and maintain your strengths but also for assessing whether you are getting justly compensated and acknowledged for your actual performance based on clear communication. Likewise, it is your job to address discrimination if you feel that you are a victim of it and know the correct way to do it.
why is discrimination the job of people being hired? what a nightmare world you want to build.
Every race faces discrimination.
Stating this should not de-legitimize the experience of people as individuals. Whenever I view content of this nature, inevitably there are comments such as yours, that feel the need to erode the discussion.
@@AvecPoesie then don't view it. Because facts are facts. Every race is discriminated against, due to their race. Unfortunately, the media and certain people only make an issue when it is a Black person. Blacks have more privileges than white people do. Facts
@@Shane-bx8ws "We're all searching for happiness; we're all leading lives which are different and yet the same." - Anne Frank....Your grievances and bitterly-held resentments are eerily similar in nature to the feelings held by those whose voices you are resistant to hearing.
@@AvecPoesie nope. It's called equality. Y'all preach that you want equality, yet Y'all don't want to give up your privileges. You just want to take away what privileges others allegedly have. Where are the white equalities for NAACP, BET, HBCU, BET Awards, freedom of speech, or even grant programs for school? There are none. That would be racist.
@@Shane-bx8ws You are perilously misinformed. Historically Black Colleges and Universities were created precisely because black people were not permitted into other institutions of higher education due to the color of their skin. They exist because of centuries of racism and inequality rendered their creation necessary. BET commenced because other music chanels of the era refused to allow any reasonable amount of air time for the music of black artists. Even Michael Jackson struggled for play on MTV prior to the release of Thriller. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has for over a century endeavored to aid people of color (through their tireless legal defense, activism, and their publicity) who faced significant racial hatred and its resultant inequality. As long as there are white people bellowing about the ostensibly racist nature of BET and the like, there will be those angrily opposed to black people in more substantial ways. What began in Historically Black Colleges as a refuge for black people yearning for education also served Jewish professors, educators and students in the aftermath of WWII when anti-semitism was still abundant throughout the world. Black colleges understood the persecution of Jewish immigrants and allowed them in when other institutions refused. These schools are still here today to honor their history and provide a refuge for young, black learners that may have felt ostracized, marginalized, and unable to comfortably learn in schools they may not have felt welcome in. White students are welcome to apply to an HBCU. They do have a small number of white members of their student body. You are mistaken if you assume such schools are exclusionary to white people. BET has played white artists and televised interviews for Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, and many white rappers. They are not exclusionary by any means. You are narrativizing petty grievances. Not seeing yourself in places and platforms created SPECIFICALLY because of the disenfranchisement of others is uneducated. It is embarrassingly ignorant.
I graduated from an HBCU with an exec. Masters (Honors) and now straight A's in my Ph.D. on the Bus. Admin. Information Technology but, employers from LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. don't call back based on the resume. I do get employers trying to offer me $20 an hour. Underemployment offering is a true problem. My name is British from birth yet I still see overwhelming double standards and ingrained biases.
You literally ended that by pointing out your name doesn’t “sound black” but still wanna cry about your wages
@@Fishing-gs9kuyou are part of the problem.
brit name with hbcu = Black immigrant to employers and there is a huge bias against us in the southeast by both Black and white locals.
..........................................BM are assumed to be lower servants i have skills to surpass the job but if you assume I should only be doing physical work than you block my application I had a manager tell his fellow managers that I was not the security officer so why are people assuming I should be doing security duties they asked for outside of my finance role
One of the more annoying things is when tech recruiters say, "C'mon down to the office so we can match the name to the face..." This is basically them seeing if you are black or not. Funny, once they saw me the opportunity disappeared. I got so frustrated with this game I just told them over the phone I was black to save me the wasted time and bus fair...
Wow, the guy quit, and was rehired with a better position 🤦🏾♂️
Black history month is about celebrating our accomplishments, not talking about blacks not finding work. 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🍳
The world belongs to them not us. Just enjoy the money you get and leave it alone
Sad but very true statement....the world belongs to them, not us.
Pretty much
As a previous hiring manager, I used to hire black people, but after so many troubles with them, I finally stopped looking at obvious black resumes. I am hiring for team cohesion, not for drama. If I hire someone who is constantly looking for being slighted they will find it. Another item, is the perception of performance. Someone who may think they are "killing it" who may not really be performing at the expectation level, will be passed over. Make sure you are "killing it" within the parameters of expectations. I have had people who think they are performing well, but doing something that was not related to the job at hand. What we need is black people to realize that they are their own worst enemies in the workplace, but no one will tell them out of pity.
So you judge all Black people on the basis of a few? I am sure you know there are other factors, such as age, skillset etc. which may have altered the outcome. Right? What happened to probationary time periods? Did their managers pull them to the side and tell them what they needed to do to pass muster? There are SO many other assumptions to be made, however, you decided to be a racist!
@@tammilynneLet's be real. This 'hiring manager' probably caused half the drama that took place by either misinterpretation or willful ignorance. No one is looking to be slighted at work. Everyone wants the most peaceful and easiest day they can get.
But don’t you notice that white people (and other races in general) also do the same? Why is it that managers micro manage and look for/always point it out when it’s a black person.
You're lying.
You’re not a good hiring manager. You need to work on your skills and stop blaming others
Stop crying and learn new skills
Stop being tone deaf and listen. You will hear a lack of education and skill sets are not the factors🙄...stop being apart of the problem.
