document.write("It must be said that an enconomy can not survive on window-dressing workers. If a black person is willing to work hard & go the extra mile, he or she will get the job, regardless of skin-colour - it will shine through their resume & will be confirmed by previous employers. Let it also be said. If someone has a sloppy work-ethic, cutting corners & trying to get the most out of the system with the least amount of effort, their reputation will follow them like a bad smell - that could be a reason why some people don't get the job!

It is a really depressing situation, we really thought we were through this...<br /><br />. jon");

document.write("Joe, seriously did you read this article? Or are you implying that the majority of Black people must be lazy and incompetent? I would like to invite you to epxlain to me how it is that there exists a free and fair recruitment effort by firms to acquire top black talent. I wokred at a recruitment company and although it was said that we really need to focus on non-whites,  white males always made up more than half of the final candidates.<br />Further more it would seem that the one thing that Whites defitely do not drag their feet on is washing off responsability - \"Iwas not apart of Apartheid - I never set a black person on fire\" \"I am a vicitim of reverse racism, I am white and no one wants employ me, my prospects are useless in this country\" \"I was better than the other cadidate but because I am white,they could not hire me\"<br />Please stop washing off all reponsability like water off a duck's back. It is weak and old. <br />Iafrica.com seems to be wrought with white apologists, where is the black power? . Greer");

document.write("It is precisely this kind of reverse racism that made so many of us leave ZA.  The Govt don't want us and it reminds me of the mayor of Bulawayo's bumper sticker a few years ago.  It said that Zimbabwe is an acronym for Zero Intelligence Mainly Because All Bloody Whites Emmigrated.

Employers and whites and general are not making excuses for what happened in the past.  All we (I) are saying is that I would prefer to have the past stay in the past.  If blacks want the same rights (and more) than whites, why dont we treat them the same?  Same passmarks, etc?<br />What type of young black employee are being bred right now when their role models (read leaders) are dodging courts, declaring war on politicians, publicly inciting violence, etc?  I am sorry!  I wont touch a black employee unless he or she can prove to me that he or she was treated exactly the same as their white or colored counterparts.<br />And so by the way...I am black...so there!.
