Speaking of fairness, a next to ZERO chance anyone other than Black or African-American, even though most do not have any ties to Africa at all, is mentioned by Jesse there. A one sided argument so that only his group enjoys these benefits, minority or not. Self seeking at it's finest.

It happens in any organization that institutes racial and/or gender quotas. It's rampant in the public sector in Canada. HR departments will tell applicants to their face that white men or white women are no longer being considered because their quotas were filled. At that point, qualifications no longer matter. In stead of "the most qualified candidate", these organizations search for "the most qualified black". It's disgraceful.
I'm so ****ing sick of this diversity ********. Women and "Minorities" will be hired if they are qualified. Truth is, there aren't as many female or "minority" students out there studying computer science etc. And so what is the problem? People can study what they want. Who is stopping these poor helpless groups from studying coding, app development etc?
How many blacks get STEM degrees -vs- degrees in Afro-American Studies?
Apple doesn't need Ph.Ds in Sociology and Gender Studies.
The workforce is as diverse as who is qualified that applies. Hiring lesser candidates just because they are black or anything else is ********. "Oh there aren't any blacks in here. We need to hire some. Just because."
A very important point to consider is that these quaotas will not impact asians, even though they are vastly overrepresented at Apple, compared to their overall population percentage in the US.
These quotas will only affect caucasians (who are already underrepresented at Apple).
People like Jackson and Sharpton are vile and evil, but they aren't dumb. They know exactly what they're doing. Their target is very clear. If it were up to them, they'd have Cook place on a sign a Apple headquarters that read: Whites need not apply.

Why do percentages matter? You are never going to have equal numbers across the board... if anyone strived for that, they already lost focus on their business, and it would fall apart. If you focus on race, instead of integrity of the individual, your business will fail.

From the article...
"The workshop is being hosted at Intel's headquarters..."
"On Thursday Jackson is taking part in a rally outside Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif."

From a USA Today article:
"On Thursday Jackson is taking part in a rally outside Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. Community and labor leaders and service workers to shine a light on the growing wealth gap in Silicon Valley."
Good luck fixing that one too, JJ.

I spoke with Tim Cook,
Asked him to have a look
Across this great nation
To help stop discrimination
He said Mr. Jackson
I would take some action
If only more minorities
Would change their priorities
And get the right education
So that I could do some remediation
Of the desperate situation
So, that's my explanation
If they'll go get some skills
Then we can help them pay their bills
But if they won't take my advice
Then a job at Apple? No dice.

Hmm...
Pot. Kettle. BLACK. Pun both intended and not intended.
You may want to take a look in the mirror.
BL.
I noticed that too. Thought it was an old passport photo. Lol.
Could be the pic on his Upper Deck Card from the 1986 Reverend Series.
Maybe instead of meeting with Jesse Jackson Cook should be spending time figuring out what the heck is going on with Apple and its relationship with developers. All these great features are demoed at WWDC but when developers try to take advantage of them their apps are pulled from the App Store. This is how Apple treats developers these days? Heads should be rolling somewhere.
