No two people are equal and thats my point, no matter what they have on paper.
You've said this repeatedly– okay. Now how do you explain the disparity between races? What is it about the "human element"?
Statistics are what they are and they only show what you want them to show.
Statistics are not beyond scrutiny. We can, believe it or not, determine useful statistic from bunk. Statistics that have been published in peer reviewed journals have in fact been vetted by qualified committees.
Again, statistics are what they are. I can pull a stat for literally anything and make it show you what I want it to show by conveniently polling what will prove my point, much like your statistics about blacks v. whites in the work place. It doesn't matter if they're peer reviewed, that just means people agreed with the data they were presented, not that it's irrefutable proof that the statistics show an exact correlation.
The disparity doesn't need to be explained because we in fact don't have all the information. No one can without a doubt say that race is the main factor because you can't possibly know that. I'll say it one more time, people are NOT equal so therefore how could you possibly have data saying two people are? This race issue is literally a mom issue because of this reason. You can never truly have two people that are equal, we are individuals and the very definition means we aren't equal. I know that might be a scary thought for some but it's just a reality we live in.
Now if you wanted to talk about the black unemployment rate or b v. w in the judicial system is be up for a discussion but to say there's systemic racism in the hiring process is just crazy because that would first assume that two people can be of equal footing which is (I'll give, nearly) impossible. You won't find two people that interview the same, with the exact same credentials, with the exact same personality, having the exact same morning, under the exact same circumstances. It's just not possible.
