Against Twitter, Demands Company Hire People Simply Because They’re Black…



Jesse’s exhortation racket is alive and well.

Via Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition:

Quote: After years of pressure, Silicon Valley companies have finally started releasing their employee diversity numbers, but Twitter still hasn’t done so.

Last year, when confronted with criticism about his appointment of an all-white, all-male board of directors, Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter, responded with a dismissive, joking tweet.

“The whole thing has to be about more than checking a box & saying ‘we did it!’,” he later typed.

It’s been months now and the company has yet to publicly address the failure to appoint a single Black person to its board despite data that confirms that Black folks make up a disproportionate share of Twitter’s user-base.

Responding to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition’s digital initiative and public appeal, other Silicon Valley tech companies like Facebook, Yahoo, Google and LinkedIn took the historic first step to release depressing data about the racial and gender composition of their staffs; but Twitter has remained silent, resisting and refusing to publicly disclose its EEO-1 workforce diversity/inclusion data.

That’s why we’re joining with ColorOfChange to call on Twitter to do two things: 1) release your employee diversity numbers immediately and 2) signal your commitment to real inclusion by hosting a public community forum that addresses the company’s plan to recruit and retain more Black talent. Will you join us? It It only takes a minute. Fill out and submit the petition on this page.

So another company hires by experience/qualifications. Sorry, Jesse.

Title should read: "Jesse Jackson back in racial blackmail black male shakedown mode.....

What a joke...

I am going to take a guess that most of the exects and management aren't exactly a bunch of right winigers. In fact I would bet most of those people are a bunch of hipsters and do-gooder liberal types.

Jesse Jackson looks like a fish.

What do we call it when we hire/fire someone based on their color? What's that word again? It's at the tip of my tongue....
