I have a dream that one day on Madison Avenue, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the conference table of brotherhood. Granted, it looks like the dream will happen after White women, White senior citizens, White LGBT, White people with disabilities, A-list celebrities and non-U.S. minorities secure their seats at the table.
I cannot believe it's 2017 and we have fewer black men working now in the industry than in years past.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I see it with my own eyes, I just can't justify it in terms of numbers, or in how so many (white) people in power in the industry have buried their heads in the sand and enthusiastically focused on gender diversity, diversity of thought, ageism, etc. instead.
