Hot Damn! The Latino Career Fair is coming to the Salem Conference Center! Thursday February 22nd! www.latinocareerfair.com
That’s so great! We could probably have an African American Career Fair, then a Native American Career Fair, maybe even an Asian Career Fair. Do you suppose we could, in our wildest dreams, get away with having a Caucasian Career Fair or God forbid the Caucasian College Fund?
The overwhelming answer is: Not just no, but hell no, because when Caucasian folks try to do anything that just applies to them or even imagine soliciting help from other races to promote a white only anything, they are labeled racists. The white male is now the number one most discriminated against person in the work place because of Affirmative Action. Minorities and women must be considered for employment ahead of white males in larger companies.
Ah but who's fault is it? It's the white guys! More specifically, the Baby Boomer white guys! In our haste to make sure the world knows we're not the generation that turned out the likes of Byron De La Beckwith and that we believe in equality for all, we've placed ourselves at the bottom of the equality pile.
Unfortunately, nobody is coming to our rescue as we have gone to so many. The overall attitude seems to be, "Hey Whitey put himself there, let him dig his way out."
Just to help slow the madness, I'd like to see an end to The United Negro College Fund, Latino Career Fairs and so on and just have College Funds and Career Fairs. Bring your "A" game and let the jobs and education fall where they may. If you have the same drive, ambition and love of America as the next guy, you have an equal chance of getting that education and ultimately that job.
If on the other hand you are lazy and into shortcuts, like entering this country illegally, or are only interested in what this country can give you and not giving back - You lose!
