Wells Fargo CEO apologizes for saying the Black talent pool is limited

Left, this is what you get when empathy isn't balanced with critical thinking and analysis.

Empathy is important, god knows human civilization has had a deficit of it often enough. But, like all other variables that go into important decision making, if not weighted properly, the quality of decision made suffers.
 
I keep hearing that white privilege and systemic racism(involving education) keeps black folks down.

So is it true or not? If true how is his comment wrong?


Stupid for a ceo to say, but seems to be exactly what the argument by blm etc is??
 
His wording was possibly offensive, but definitely meaningless. There is a limited pool of white talent, too.

Of course anything can be. Reading what was quoted, I don't even see where that reasonably -- reasonably -- ought to cause offense. It's a really simple analytical observation. If you can't say that at a bank of all places, where you'd think a simple analytical observation should be understood -- it's clear what the man was trying to get at -- you've got a problem.

Just hilarious that this is even an issue.

You're supposed to have empathy because of someone's skin color? Or do you make assumptions based on skin color?
