Need a job? Many companies say "Fvck your unemployed azz"

It's been a second since Folk been on the corner! But Folk back, posted up, yelling, screaming, hollering, and calling companies that discriminate against fvckers who ain't got a job some modern era racist fvckers who make Arizona look like a lover of dark Brazilian women in Africa.

Now it is said, and Folk quotes, "There is no law prohibiting discrimination against the unemployed, though advocates said the practice could be illegal if it had a 'disparate impact' on minority groups." Now Folk don't know 'bout y'all but the last time Folk's brown azz checked, the majority of unemployed folks in the good ol' USofA were minorities. Isn't that a disparate impact?

But check this shyt out.
Bad news: Some companies are ignoring all unemployed applicants.

In a current job posting on The People Place, a job recruiting website for the telecommunications, aerospace/defense and engineering industries, an anonymous electronics company in Angleton, Texas, advertises for a "Quality Engineer." Qualifications for the job are the usual: computer skills, oral and written communication skills, light to moderate lifting. But red print at the bottom of the ad says, "Client will not consider/review anyone NOT currently employed regardless of the reason."

In a nearly identical job posting for the same position on the Benchmark Electronics website, the red print is missing. But a human resources representative for the company confirmed to HuffPost that the The People Place ad accurately reflects the company's recruitment policies.

"It's our preference that they currently be employed," he said. "We typically go after people that are happy where they are and then tell them about the opportunities here. We do get a lot of applications blindly from people who are currently unemployed -- with the economy being what it is, we've had a lot of people contact us that don't have the skill sets we want, so we try to minimize the amount of time we spent on that and try to rifle-shoot the folks we're interested in."

There are about 5.5 people looking for work for every job available, according to the latest data from the Labor Department.

Sony Ericsson, a global phone manufacturer that recently announced that it would be bringing 180 new jobs to the Buckhead, Ga. area, also recently posted an ad for a marketing position on The People Place. The add specified: "NO UNEMPLOYED CANDIDATES WILL BE CONSIDERED AT ALL." When asked about the ad, a spokeswoman said, "This was a mistake, and once it was noticed it was removed."

Ads asking the unemployed not to apply are easy to find. A Craigslist ad for assistant restaurant managers in Edgewater, N.J. specifies, "Must be currently employed." Another job posting for a tax manager at an unnamed "top 25 CPA firm" in New York City contains the same line in all caps.

So if you looking for a job, then get a job to get a job because you can't get the job unless you got a job. So all you unemployed fvckers just keep your resume and shove it up your needy job azz. Just saying that shyt don't make sense. What y'all got? Speak.
