Tokenism IS NOT an accomplishment....

The last 24 hours has been VERY INTERESTING.

And?

Very disturbing.

One of the reasons why We as Black People DO NOT HAVE SHIT?

Is because We are wasting TOO MUCH TIME FORTIFYING AND ENRICHING PRE-ESTABLISHED AND ESTABLISHED WHITE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND NOT REPLACING IT WITH OUR OWN PRODUCTS, SERVICES, TECHNOLOGIES, ETC!

Take THIS FOR INSTANCE, seems like GREAT or AT LEAST GOOD NEWS, RIGHT!?;

Tech women cheer as TaskRabbit names African-American woman CEO

By Michelle Quinn / April 15, 2016 at 10:44 AM

Some in the tech world took to Twitter to rejoice the appointment of Stacy Brown-Philpotas the new chief executive of TaskRabbit, the on-demand marketplace for odd jobs.

Outgoing CEO and founder Leah Busque, who will become the San Francisco company’s executive chairman, wrote on Medium that Brown-Philpot helped her with expanding the business internationally.

Brown-Philpot is one of the few African-American women to hold the top spot at a high-profile tech company. Most prominent is Ursula Burns at Xerox, as Recode points out.

Most recently TaskRabbit’s chief operating officer, Brown-Philpot has also been an executive at Google and worked at PriceWaterhouse Cooper. In 2015, she was named a director at HP Inc.

Throughout her career, she has addressed diversity issues at work. At Google, she was the founder of the Black Googler Network.

Erica Joy Baker, the outspoken black engineer now at Slack, tweeted:

All of THAT?

Seems like GREAT NEWS!

Now?

Remember when I talked about when you were a KID and YOU HAD YOUR OWN TOYS?

I'm sorry but?

WHOSE COMPANY IS THAT?

Ours?

Or White Peoples, a White PERSON?

Soooooooooh, once again!?

Black People celebrating the ACT OF BORROWING AND BEING LENT!

A position.

I am well-aware that SOME Black People will NOT like what I've just typed and to you I say;

Go fuck yourself slave.

This kind of CHEERING FOR CRUMBS is why We have nothing but instability.

This company was NOT built BY US.

Thus the TOKEN-BLACK CARD can always be played!

And meanwhile this card has been used for generations and still scores of Blacks keep falling for it. So it is past due time that SCORES OF BLACKS NOT ONLY POINT THIS PATHETIC CRAP OUT!

But also PUT A STOP TO IT.

I'm not celebrating bullshit accomplishments like these.

TOKENISM.

Is NO ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Building a Black Owned Business and Corporation from the foundation up and MAKING IT LUCRATIVELY COMPETITIVE IS!
