  1. Lol gotta love when left wing organizations get eaten by their own.

  2. This is very common in workplaces.

  3. Good luck on suing a big Company… This lawsuit will take years

  4. Lol janitors to programmer is quite a gap of knowledge

  5. Proof that you cannot lay down with socialism, and not be contaminated by it.

  6. Black ex. Cell emce.

  7. I call Bull! Its about money. 6 years working for a business is not going to make you a millionaire. It's not race its performance . If you weren't picked. You didn't do the job.

  8. "google has systemic bias that favors white men" ? ok the CEO is Indian, last time I checked Indian is Asian…….

  9. I work in IT, there's definitely a preference for White, Asian, and Indian men. Fortunately, I multiple certificates (CCIE, AWS Cloud, Cybersecurity) so I provide services as a contractor to avoid those microaggressions within a full-time position.

    I learned long time ago to make yourself a need vs a want when they get tired of you and under value your worth.

  10. False allegations made by an extremist group trying to get cash from a technology company.

  11. I'm  curious about how you feel about how folks exhibit pro-black biased BEHAVIOR. Blacks and whites both have a pro black bias. I just found a study that shows that black people have three times more pro-black bias than white people have. So it's no wonder that black people feel like they're being treated unfairly and unfortunately everyone is buying into it. Here is the video with 17 cited sources.  Start at 18 minutes and 13 seconds and hear the stunning conclusion at 21 minutes and 22 seconds. The 17 studies are cited. Over-all they show a pro-black bias.

  12. 👆👆👆Nice deal with the good and honest platform I was able to earn my money, easy… thanks once again for the credit

  14. Large corporations fall into these patterns easily. if ur a mom and pop store with less than 7 employees pretty easy to catch people out for wrongdoing. But a large corporation with thousands of employees there is only so much you can do to know what each manager is doing never mind each employee.

  15. All peoples of the world have built some cocoons based on perceived life group… We WIN this way 🙄

  16. does Google have any black employees besides YouTube

  17. This is what "affirmative action" created and causes: When affirmative action was put into play it helped lesser qualified black people get positions over a more qualified individual of another race. Well.. now they expect it. If Google came out and wanted to do things by the book and elected to hire the highest qualification for an important role in the establishment, and a black person had also applied for the position but was lesser qualified – That same person could file a grievance and that's probably how this started. Let me just tell you…this is a terrible mess we are in. Skin color does not matter and the only reason that it holds such high regard is because they won't shut up about it. Racism exists because they won't shut up about it. We're tired of hearing about it. This is why their communities are in shambles-not because of white people or systemic racism – it's because of crap like this. They have become complacent with black privilege. The problems will never be solved because they aren't addressing the real problem. If they were really trying to be outstanding they wouldn't WANT to be hired over a more qualified candidate.

    This is with the utmost respect – and again skin color doesn't matter. There are black men and women who are leaders. But this..this is an example of how racism has ruined society…and it has nothing to do with white people.

  18. Well, who's surprised? Even Tesla has a segregated area called The Plantation. Racism is everywhere… Dammit!

  19. What's more likely?
    1) Google has black employees who would create great products and make them a ton of money if those employees worked in design or coding, but are choosing not to take advantage of these employees' abilities due to racism.
    2) The complaining employee(s) aren't actually capable of such things, and are either overestimating their abilities or lying for a payout.

  20. About time. Racist b…ches

  21. Sounds frivolous. These lawyers make tons of money by suing super rich companies and will actually recruit people to join their law suits. Working at Google is a privilege and no matter where you start you can work your way up. Ridiculous and frivolous in the name of the mighty $.

  22. I think that Google should be seen as mystimic basic do not take my words down properly and this is nothing to my phone nothing to do with my good a** phone

  23. Indians run American tech and they are some racist people we all know they. They all are a bunch of friends and closed off society trying to be white.

  24. Your ☝️☝️act of kindness and your service shows how big of a heart you have for

  25. Your ☝️☝️act of kindness and your service shows how big of a heart you have for

  26. It will be settled out of court eventually… and all discrimination remain in place

  27. That's not a black thing. Welcome to the corporate world. Where all worker bees of all races and genders do all the work, and the bosses get the credit.

  28. Meanwhile the CEO is INDIAN and quite dark, yet they don’t steer things in favor of INDIANS. Tell me again how America isn’t racist.

  29. It's more like the STRONG favor toward black employee wasn't strong enough.

  30. I too have seen this all my life, I single handedly coded one of the first viable XML commerce systems in 2000 and when the company won an innovation award I didn't know until I asked where was everybody. All the white guys who had nothing to do with designing and writing the system were at the awards ceremony "stepping and fetching around" like a bunch of addled peacocks while I had not even been told. Later some of the people giving the awards appeared without appointment in the office. They said they had wanted to see who was really doing the work.

  31. GreenHashesBot Goals by 2022:-
    1) Mine 1 Block of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash, Monero & ZCash per Day
    2) Absorb 100 Ton of CO2 per Day
    3) Plant 30,000 Trees per Day

    They are building Mining Farm powered by 100% Renewables.

    Mining with Solar + Megapacks = No Emissions & No Electricity Bills.

    They are also integrating Carbon Capture Systems……

  32. Let me tell you a little bit what I know about the industry of computer or technology
    jobs: You get pay for the position you apply for. If you want a better position, or there is an opening in the same company with a higher pay, the chances for you in getting that job is 10%.
    You have to understand that: If you what a better pay, or apply for a better job, or position, you have to move to another company. Period. Learn that. MOVE ON.

  33. What about their algorithm?? It’s so bias… I look at plenty of new yet the only feed me junk. Bias garbage

  34. "Call on the Lord in the day of trouble
    and He will deliver you."
               Psalm 50: 15

  35. Is there any situation or institution ANYWHERE that DOESN'T constantly pick on blacks for EVERYTHING these days??
    We've created a generation of perpetual "victims" in this country! Now what?
    Jesus Christ!!!

  36. Real chaos in the world today and people are actually bringing up racism right now.
    Mr. Mungel had about the best comment on here.

  37. White collar workers don't like those who talk in Ebonics

  38. I own those racist shares of google stock, no wonder it didn’t want to assimilate with the rest of my portfolio!

  39. White men were probably qualified and better than the black employees.

  40. This is the kind of world 🌏we've made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out, due to the economic crisis 🇺🇦and the rate of unemployment I think it's the best time to invest and make more money for the future💯

  41. Seen this happen at the Salesforce tower in Indiana many times bunch of racist that look down on black individuals
