Why I Won't Hire Black People: Racial Profiling for a Reason - Paperback

by Asa Leveaux (Author)

Have you ever wondered why certain groups of people are rarely the first choice for employment? Would you rather have someone of a different race provide you with services such as fixing your car, caring for your child or preparing your taxes? Is the only reason there is diversity in your office a direct result of affirmative action? Why I Won't Hire Black People looks at racial profiling in the workplace and presents justified reasons for the common practice. This book places the challenge of being marketable on the shoulders of the applicant rather than giving more fuel to systematic issues that include: a weak economy, globalization, the prison industrial complex or the quality of the public education system. Asa Leveaux, in a labor of love, presents individual process improvements for every Black person that has left an interview or encountered professional rejection without the quality feedback that is deserved. The passion that he has for imparting knowledge to all generations is made apparent with every life story and critique of those that don't understand the ways of the corporate world. The author has gained employment in various fields such as the United States military, Program Manager of a Fortune 500 company, a nightclub go go dancer, serial entrepreneur and factory worker. Why I Won't Hire Black People is a book that has been taken from real life experiences rather than a protected throne room of an ivory tower. This comprehensive narrative's intent is to educate those that not only are they an asset to organizations and customers alike but how to present themselves in a way that identifies their capabilities and demeanors in a positive, professional and proficient way.
