No black engineers or accountants in 1950? Whats the pay gap between you and a knowledgeable employee?


Not that there were zero, just that they were rare due to entry barriers. If you have evidence to the contrary I would love to see it rather than listen to your pathetic attempt at a clever put down.


You're the one who said there were none.

Now you admit there were, my original question remains. Why didn't any CEO hire them at a white firm at half pay and make a bundle?


I don't know, but I don't find it hard to furnish ideas. Colleges used to try to ensure they didn't produce more professionally qualified graduates than there were entry-level positions for. Perhaps colleges only graduated fewer black students than there were openings in black-owned enterprises?


Maybe you can learn reading comprehension. In the context of a company hiring only minorities in professional roles there were effectively none.

Again, how about some evidence to the contrary?
