I realize I have better chance of being successful because I'm white. Everything has been easier for me to succeed than it is for a minority. Isn't much need to be specific.....all the common sense things that everybody knows.....education, finances.....all easier for me. I'm not complaining it's just a fact of life.

Nope, that dog won't hunt.
When and how did you come to this realization? What made you suddenly conclude that it's just easier for you to succeed than it is for a minority? Did someone give you a job once and say "thank God you applied, or I'd have probably given the job to a minority"?
I also asked for specifics...which means statistics would be a good place to start. If "everybody knows" these things to be true, then the statistics which support your argument should be very easy to find. "Everyone knows" smoking is harmful to your health, for example...and you can find countless smokers who died from having that habit.
Otherwise, without hard evidence...it's pure (and misguided) speculation on your part.
Twice out of college I was hired over minority applicants. Equal resumes......both times I got it. One was a job that was to go to events on behalf of someone and I'm sure I got the nod because of color. Everything else being equal......I got it. How's that?
you think there are stats for something like this? How do you suppose those are calculated? You think those who hire are in the practice of saying " I didn't wanna hire the minority"
it isn't misguided .......it's been going on forever decades and isn't exactly big news.
You're making tons of assumptions. Almost too many to count.
First, you're assuming the only reason you got the job was because you were white. Did these places employ zero minorities outside of the positions you accepted?
I also have to say, I've been on many interviews in my life, but never once upon receiving an offer did the recruiter or hiring manager review the rest of the applicant pool with me and tell me why I was hired over anyone else. How did you even know minorities were interviewed for the same position and also had equal resumes?
Not to mention, two interviews in your lifetime is what you're basing all of this on? You're also forgetting that in a society where what, 70% of the population is white...wouldn't it make sense that you'd see similar demographics in the workforce?
Btw, how could you possibly know how well the welfare recipients you worked with performed on their interviews? I'm sure they came back and told you it went great, but unless you're there, it may have been a disaster as far as you know.
You asked for specifics and I gave you personal experience. It wasn't the only reason I got the jobs but I felt comfortable I was not gonna lose out to the minority applicant. It was an open process and I knew the person I was up against......he's now a district director for a Congressman......so he was no weak candidate, even 20 years ago.
I don't know how they did on their interviews when placing them in jobs but when you have 7 blacks or Latinos interviewing and 1 or 2 whites.....why did the whites in almost all situations get hired first? Coincedence?
Its an advantage to be white in job and financial situations. I don't think thats something most people dispute.
Vitterd is full of shit. He hates white people, feels guilty, apologizes for being white..
In reality the opposite is true. Minorities get accepted with lowers scores, less education, less qualified and with less money to afford it than whites do.
Vitterd is a lying piece of shit. He got a job because he was white? Same resumes? Guess they did a resume exchange before the interview...exactly what people competing for the same job in most circumstances.
What a piece of shit this guy is...following the Democratic mantra is all this clown knows.

I just can't believe why you all keep going. He and certain posters here should have stopped responding to one another and stopped bringing up each other's names years ago. No one gains from it, and it bleeds into every topic in here.
There are certain styles of posting or certain beliefs other posters have that I can't reconcile. I can't convince Vit of the areas where his style of debate is wrong imo. I can't convince RR 99% of his posts aren't read. Etc etc. But geez a guy could sign all his posts with swastikas and I wouldn't keep at him as long as you guys do. I don't know or care who amongst you is rich or broke, truthteller or spinmeister. But both sides can't stop arguing about it. You definitely all have a WEALTH of time to waste, I'll give ya that.
Nah.....I knew the guy for years.....so I know what he's done at that point in his life.
You are fucking clueless to think the opposite is true.....I guess that's why so many blacks and minorities are running shit huh? Seriously, stick to a topic you know something about.....hopefully somebody can figure out what that is.
