  The mythical program is whites get hired and blacks don't.  If you read my
  posting on 12/12 I stated I had 2 white co-workers who had no college
  education yet comparable experience as I.  They were both fired.  The femal
  got employed in 1 month the male got employed in 3 months.  When I leave a
  job without being fired I can't get employment for over a year.  Would it
  have been better that I get fired from a job in order to ensure future 
  employment?

  Are you implying that I haven't been looking for work?  That this descendant
  of the U.S. slave race is lazy and only wants to get educated but not look
  for employment?  College opportunities great, but you ain't got a thing if
  you ain't got that green.
  I have tried the sunday - saturday paper.  I have interviewed with N.M.E,
  Xerox, F.H.P, Federal Express, Nicklestone Software, University of Arizona,
  Catalina Limousine, Yellex, UCLA(2 jobs), and many many many more.  I have 
  had well over 50 interviews and all came to naught.  
  Now I am good enough to provide campus wide computer support at the U of A 
  for $6.50/hr., but I'm not good enough to do the same type of work for 
  $30,000/yr.
  Apply for the Boston Fire Department?  Where am I now?  You gonna pay for my
  airfare and lodging?  I guess I'm just in the wrong place, but last I heard I
  was in a place called America.
