Asian's Don't Need Advocacy or Politicians To Succeed



Jessie Jackson has been waging his latest social and economic justice campaign against Silicon valley for it's lack of diversity. According to Jackson, Silicon Valley has too few blacks, Latino's and woman. He has pressured some of the larger tech companies turn over their employment records and commit millions of dollars to minority recruitment.

 At Google, and Twitter, the workforce is approximately 90 percent white and Asian, with about 5 percent African-American and Hispanic. Males make up about 70% of all hires. EBAY which performs the best has 12 percent African-American and Hispanic and 58 percent male. Forbes magazine's annual Midas Touch ranking of the tech's 100 top investors which was just released is worth noting. 25% of the list is comprised of individuals of east Asian or South Asian decent. The list is filled with non-European names like Ji, Chaddha, Liu and Agrawal. East Asians include Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and the success of these groups in the STEM fields is well documented. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) are fields of study that until recent years blacks unfortunately have not been steered towards. Blacks who obtain college degrees tend to seek them in the liberal arts and business fields rather than computer science or mathematics. The few numbers of blacks and latino's for that matter in Silicon valley reflects this.

What's more noteworthy is the fact that Asian American's have achieved this without advocacy from politicians, civil rights activist or government set asides. Individuals from India for instance make up 10% of the workforces of Microsoft and Oracle. This is not to suggest people of Asian decent are genetically superior to blacks. However they are culturally superior on average to blacks and whites. It's evidenced by their average higher levels of income and education and by their under-representation in the criminal justice system.

How is it that without enough politicians nationally to fill up a walk-in closet, they have been able to achieve? It might have something to do with factors such as parenting. Asian parents are notorious for being hawks on educational achievement. Asian children watch far less television than their non Asian counterparts. Asian's out of wedlock birth rates are lower than Blacks, Whites and Hispanics. It might be worth mentioning that black African immigrant groups produce inspiring success stories of their own. The MBA classes of Harvard and Yale are filled with first generation African immigrants, primarily from Nigeria and Ghana. Out of the handful of students (6) that were accepted to all Ivy league schools, 4 of them are children of African immigrants.

Blacks elites will continue to drum up dis-informative statistics without context to advance their agenda. This incontrovertible evidence that minorities can and do achieve without imposing racial quotas on corporations forces the left to face it's false narrative that racism and oppression are the culprits that hinder black achievement.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
