I don't think that is a practical approach. How about the black community working to put more and more qualified young black people out there until they cannot be ignored?
The above says it all. Keith Wyche in his book "Good is not enough" (a very easy read; read it in two days) said as an exec. he could not hire many black junior exec because they came unprepared, they just showed up with a degree and expect everything else to fall into place (no plan of executing the position etc) whilst the white counterparts came well prepared (well mentored and groomed I supposed) hence he is forced to hire them over blacks. He is the one I got the "turf war" notion from also.
Not saying what happened to the lady is untrue but I know of many blacks getting a footing with big firms on wall st. (if you are a hard science maj. sell off) via leadership programs. It's mixed bag and one hast to be careful when passing judgement these days.
