NEW YORK—Voicing support for those it ultimately passed over in favor of a white applicant, financial services giant Morgan Stanley issued a statement Monday indicating it stands in solidarity with all its rejected African American job candidates. “There is no excuse for racial discrimination in America or anywhere else, and that is why our company and its affiliates demand equality for the many black people we have interviewed as a courtesy over the years with no real intention of ever hiring,” read the statement from the investment bank at which approximately 2% of executive positions are held by African Americans. “Similarly, as we look out our windows and watch tens of thousands of protestors fill the streets to demand justice, we wish to express support for the black job seekers whose résumés we gave only a cursory glance before convincing ourselves they probably wouldn’t be a good fit. At this moment in our history—which we hope will become a turning point in race relations—we also stand firmly with our black team members who have been routinely passed over for promotions and kept in low-paying positions, or were otherwise denied opportunities to earn the same amount as their white counterparts. We urge them all to stay strong.” The statement went on to confirm the company would attempt to offset the widespread minority unemployment it had helped cause with a nominal one-time donation to a civil rights organization. \n

Hits a lil close to home right

sit down, man

Oh Onion someone has some shit for you too. Homie

😂😂😂

As a black man let me just say 'if I had a X for every Y' because as it pertains to this particular topic, if I said anything further I'd destroy the idiom faster than Homer Simpson hooked up to a polygraph.

Is this a joint statement with BankofAmerica

Apparently you have no room to clown anybody on their BLM statement 🥴 smdh

Remember when you used to have music acts come in and play for your staff

The Onion is so on point with it's satire

🤣🤣

How many Black people working at the onion?

this you?

fucking Onion, thank you for many laughs you have given me over the years. Everytime I post one of your articles on Facebook, my conservative relatives slobber over it

We will never forget your racist bullying of a Black CHILD Racist TheOnion BlackChildren BLM BlackLivesMatter WeRemember

How many Black FT employees do you have? Rumor has its 7 out of 140 after layoffs? So how are YOU standing with rejected applicants or staff STFU TheOnion StandwithRejectedBlackApplicants HireBlackPeople StopBeingRacist

Proof that the Onion is far more prescient than most people think. Watch this headline come to fruition in the next 6 months. remindmetweets in 6 months

Oh the irony. Their writing staffs throughout time

Some people aren't quite getting where The Onion is coming from. Think about how bad job seeking is for black people in the U.S. for a minute. If you've seen any studies or firsthand accounts from us you already know getting a job is tough, especially if your name sounds 'ghetto'

That joke's so white, it went out during a riot, smashed some glasses and bought a new television.

Oh it hurts 🤣
