BET founder: Companies will take hiring Black workers seriously when not doing so hurts their stock

BET founder Robert Johnson told CNBC on Monday he believes companies will more seriously address racial inequality within their workforces once a failure to do so starts impacting their stock price.

"Tie all of those factors to achieving opportunities in employment at all levels for Black Americans, I think then you'll see results because that's what companies understand.

Why should the color of ones skin determine their employability? What ever happened to hiring the most qualified individual for the position?

Yeah! Quotas! Ensure that there is doubt about the capability of every minority in a managerial position. There are hiring programs in every big firm designed to increase minority representation. You need to solve for qualified supply.

Racist to hire or not hire someone based on the color of their skin

Why does someone need to be recognized for their color of skin? That sounds Racist?

Ok tyrone...

So..... they just aren't hiring them or......too many black males have had some adventures with law enforcement/ not gone to college... thus the pool of truly eligible candidates is SUPER LOW.

I don’t think so....😎

Forget hiring based upon qualifications; hire based on color- hold it. wait. that’s racial discrimination... um, I mean hire according to Twitter algorithms

Where are all these unemployed AA MBA's? Where are these unemployed AA CPAs? Where are all these unemployed AA actuaries? The simple fact is that there are not enough AAs to fill a lot of these positions. Companies will always hire a AA over a white man.

Jobs are there, all you have to do is apply

Do they have to be qualified or no? Never know these days. 😬

Lawsuits and more lawsuits coming. Good times.

Only racists see race in everything. The comment is incredibly tone-deaf and short-sighted. It's about a good match between worker and company, not extortion.

Sounds Like Robert Johnson Is Saying 'Black Workers' Hurt Stock Performance! Haha-ha There Ain't Even Black People. Look at the Difference Between His Coat Color And Skin

There Ain't No Black People! There Was a Black And Proud Movement, I Remember. But, There Ain't No Black People. Even Africans Know Their Not Black. But Might Be Name Called/Labeled Black In America. Black History Month Should Be Changed to African American History Month.

Stocks only go up thanks to Jerome, what can possibly hurt stocks nowadays 🤣

Why did they never strengthen affirmative action then? I can think of plenty active politicians that seem to not have done a thing about it. We need term limits

people should be hired for their character and merits not the color of their skin at all

Lol. How do u hire when non apply

why do and others still call him founder of bet he hasn't owned it in years....,🤔

💤 getting old

Then: We hire the best and the brightest Now: We hire the wokest 😉

Sounds like terrorism.

Seems like a nice guy.
