[QUOTE="Ryan Schaecher, post: 669290, member: 56872"] I'm not condoning racism or anything of the sort. Everyone should get EQUAL chance at promotins and pay, but it does go both ways. In Memphis, if you want a contact with the city and have to deal with King Willy Herrington (if you thought the mayor of Choclate City was bad, you've never seen or heard about King Willy) you had better be black or some "minority". There is less than 10% of the contracts that go to a White owned company. However, last I checked, no one was holding a gun to my head telling me I HAD TO WORK FOR COMPANY X. If you don't like the working conditions and nothing is changing.... GET OVER IT! You have a choice. Put up or shutup. Get your ass out the door and find someplace else. Start your own company. Do something. Don't just sit there and bitch and whine and talk about how "tha man" is keeping you down. Life is tough and everyone has choices to make. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Sam Walton, Steve Jobs, Steve Wosniak, et al in the US didn't get their fortune from complaining that their boss only promoted his friends, they did something to change their lives (and those of many hundreds of others as well). They saw an opportunity (or were forced to find an opportunity) and took a chance. Risk small, gain small/loose small. Risk big, gain big/loose big. It's a choice. Peace out. [/QUOTE]
