The company might be 90% black but blacks are still a minority in the nation.

I just felt the internet slow down, Ken King must be searching out your answer as we speak.

Well Pete, if I recall that was a matter of an affirmitive action policy for admission as a student and not in regard to employment.

A lot has to do with whom the employer is, private party, contractor working for the Fed or a government entity. Depending on that then there are specific regulations dealing with what does or does not constitute discrimination.

Dude, if my dial up slows down the internet you guys are in serious trouble. I wonder what I could do with highspeed?

Private company? Good luck proving anything.

Your response would have taken longer had you used the correct form of "too".

Actually somd.com froze up on me as it is known to do. I had to shut down the browser and reopen it. Plus I am reading other posts trying to catch up on what has been going on.

What are you doing online at this time of the evening, working OT?

Then, before you know it, people are in chains, lands are stolen, cultures destroyed and T shirt shops open up displaying how cool things used to be.
