Fixing diversity: a proposal

So if you have a white candidate who is slightly better than a minority candidate, your would prefer the minority candidate? If your income is tied to that person, wouldn’t you want the best one regardless of race? Why does race have to be a question? Hire the best person first. Race should be irrelevance.

But, but, but that’s not fair
 


















Hispanic/Latinos growing to 39% of the U.S. Population, brothers of one U.S.A.
Asians growing to almost 10% of the U.S. population, sisters of one U.S.A.
Blacks grow in absolute numbers as the U.S. grows in 25 years staying at approximately 13%.
And WHITES are at approximately one in two, at 47% of the entire, coast to coast population in the U.S.

39+10+13+47 = ... 109 ... boy it’s gonna get messy.

So 13% continually bring down the other 87%. Perpetual racism is the problem. Maybe look in the mirror on that one.
 




































Here's the way things will look, approximately in 25 years or so. Hard working, mild manner brown people of Hispanic/Latino color and race (of which I am one, proud and here); then Asians growing at a very rapid rate (I work alongside some extremely hard working Asians with a dedication to education and self improvement) and no Native American Indians unfortunately in may area of this little country we call, Abbvie.

So, who drives the bus my melting pot, just minded, not retaliatory, "best candidate always in business" citizen?!

The facts will drive the bus. And the white elitists in corporate America, the media, professional politicians and aristocrats have a plan that has nothing to do with "you" per se. But to control. Get over your little self.

So to the sensitive soul that liked the 100%+ demographic math, the correction was made above. Hispanics/Latinos are in fact, projected to move from 14% to 29% (not the previously quoted 39% and noted in the table previously. (You in the science business?)). So, 99% are accounted for which sadly did not reflect the Native American Indians and other <1% minorities. Well all goody good on CP? Now on to your fomenting and improper racial slur. I love you and I don't know you. You hate and you don't know me. What a contrast.

And, if you are African American/ Black and your calling me racist because I am pleading a fact based case for fairness in our country. Fairness for all Americans that wish to work to accel. Well your in fact, the one exhibiting race based behavior as you look in that metaphorical mirror from the corner of your eye.

I am assuredly a lot older than you. I know what I have done and not done. Said and not said to support INCLUSION. Likely I was pushing INCLUSION (i.e. diversity in action not empty words spoken by corporate executives) before you were even born. Not perfect, but I was hiring minorities in the 90s when my corporate executives were thinking about how to ramp up their total compensation stat.

So here is what all the "racist acting" blacks say to me on an anonymous board where I am trying build proper perspective and support for all Americans as the demographics change. "I don't know you. I don't trust you. You're a racist." Really, oh intellectually dishonest one?! Does emotion, not fact and social momentum make anything you do and say, 'right' and what I say 'racist'? There is a "difference between hate speech and hating what people speak." Especially with facts. And we are in the science business, genius. Facts don't have feelings. Facts don't hate. But they do shape a more accurate picture of our environment. What a laughable, sad, silly joke of a culture we have here in America. You fool only yourself. I say, I am preparing my white grandkids for the 'fight' to excel in every way possible. No excuses. No surrender. Only failure is in giving or wanting a hand out, a back door deal and sly way to into the game.

And if my grandchildren are in positions of power, wealth and responsibility (and they will be as they are already exceptional). I will drill it into them, they are to wield that 'sword of power' with great care, fair mindedness and integrity in the worst of times. And be willing to "lose" for the sake of others. And to not seek vengeance or revenge in business. To set an even higher example of principles and ethics in how they use that power in the work place.

Today, in corporate America it is rare with any white, black, brown, male, female I have worked with or observed. They have an ultimately, myopic agenda, theirs. Maybe future black, brown or female leaders can show us a better way. I hope so. The white as snow crowd took care of all the needs, yes, you got it, theirs first and last. But I am grateful and happy to be in the HNW crowd. And before I die, the UHNW crowd will mean I can donate it to family, friends in need and causes with financial and principled integrity that make this world a better place. Not my place; nor yours. Ours. Peace.
 






If you are white and conservative you will always labeled racist and if you are of color you are an Uncle Tom or a traitor as in GOYA Foods.
If you are white and alt-right you are a terrorist, but Antifa and BLM get a pass.
 






The Thread it called, Fixing Diversity: A Proposal

Here's mine. Start with facts. Not the loudest, aggressive voice in your "world".
  • HISPANICS/LATINOS are going to be ~ 1 in 3 Americans in a blink of an eye.
  • Blacks are flat at 13% of total
  • Whites drop but still make up ~ 1 in 2 Americans. Granted, many will be retired.
  • Asians are moving up to almost 10%, 1 in 10 Americans in ~ 30 years.
So, yes, a lot of people want good jobs and good professions. Here are my tenants and Proposal "Characteristics" No charge to the puppets, the priests and power mongers in HR, Legal and Upper Management.

2021 Tenants and Proposal Characteristics for Abbvie
  • The key, use data to drive inclusion initiatives that are business impact focused.
  • No hand outs to any group as all need to demonstrate a commitment to excellence.
  • Set high standards that are not lowered; rather raised.
  • Don't eliminate essential qualities or skills necessary for entry or advancement.
  • Change "interview or performance evaluation" language only to communicate and facilitate. Not to enable and provide 'preferred or protected status'.
  • Remove all implied or overt 'protected status' efforts and pressure on management around minorities that have harmed management's ability to fully and fairly assess performance and value to the org.
    • Laws protect such illegal behavior as discrimination but "At Will" status matters as much.
  • And, lastly, most importantly, every one is to have or develop the deepest respect for the power they possess in personnel decisions.
    • If that power is abused and proven, you are to be fired.
  • So, white panels; no white panels?
    • How about the natural evolution of "Inclusive Panels" as we drive business?
 












Racist: when you are when you disagree with a leftist

Jim Crow: anything liberals disagree with

Crisis: anything liberals care about except what is happening at the US/Mexico border

Infrastructure: anything liberals want to waste money on

The pharma industry is predominantly white as are many other high paying professions in America, and it’s not because white people are way more qualified that black people. It’s because white people just hire white people. Look at any sales team in any region and in any pharma or biotech company. Of 15 people on a team there will be one black person (if that). Maybe two. No matter what the numbers are way skewed. Simple put, white people don’t want to let black people in. A.K.A Racism.
