Racist Newspaper industry hires fewer black reporters than in 1968

Don't journalist vote 90% Democrat. That's got to be the least diverse industry there is?

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Liberals judge people by both skin color and content of character (when they disagree with liberals).

I bet typewriter repair companies also hire fewer black people than they did in the '60s. There are probably also fewer black chimney sweeps than there were in 1850.

The newspaper business is a dead industry. Is it really a surprise that they hire fewer people--black or otherwise--than they did when they were thriving?

It seems that in your haste to respond you accidentally didn't read the article.

I responded to the claim made by the OP, who made a different argument than the article.

"Here, I found an alarming trend. Comparing the 2013 job placement rates, graduating minorities that specialized in print were 17 percentage points less likely to find a full-time job than non-minorities; minorities specializing in broadcasting were 17 percentage points less likely to find a full-time job; and minorities specializing in public relations were 25 percentage points less likely to find a full-time job. In contrast, minorities specializing in advertising were only 2 percentage points less likely to find a full-time job than their white counterparts," wrote Williams.

Armed with those stats, why isn't the Justice Department investigating hiring practices in the liberal dominated media industry? Clearly they are blatantly discriminating against minorities, especially African Americans. Where is Al Sharpton?
