you are so wrong. So many times even in my job, I watched people that met every single requirement of a promotion that happened to be white be turned down for a black that came fresh from college with no experience, and a couple of them no college,they were simply black. And they did a poor job and were gone in 6 months as well.
Qualifications are what matter to me. I had a white helper on the job that somehow graduated high school and couldn't read. I complained until I was blue in the face with no results because he was related to 1 of the boss's. Well, when i came back from a vacation trip, the helper was GONE. I was like ,Ah, nice, what finally happened. They found out he did not meet the qualifications of the job, 1 of which was reading and writing. nothing to do with color, it is about can they do the job well.
