Would you hire someone for a business/banking job you knew was black just through a phone conversation?

What about people from Africa? They speak the Queen's English. We sound like ignorant louts in comparison.

I do not care about the timbre, I guess it is, that makes someone "sound black."

What I would be concerned about is a person who does not speak standard English. By this I mean they use slang, vernacular, and mispronunciation.

For example:

"axe" when they mean "ask"
"I stay" for "I live"
"My bad" instead of "excuse me" or "I misunderstood"

Repeatedly interrupting their sentences with "you know what I'm sayin'?"
I've heard someone say this so many times when he was answering my question that I finally said, "No, I don't know what you're saying, BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING!!! YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING, BUT YOU HAVE NOT CONVEYED A SINGLE IDEA!!!"

Any of these things make a poor impression and should preclude a person from opportunities, regardless of what color they are. Real life is not a rap video.

You sound like you are going to tortured lengths to rationalize racism.

How come the $700 billion bailout to banks and business did not create any jobs?

We Answered:

It wasn't intended to...Bush handed out TARP to help the banks and AIG to stay viable and it was his and Hank Paulsen's hope that by throwing money at their friends, they would be responsible with it and unthaw the frozen credit markets that was damaging the economy. They (Bank CEO's, etc.), however, decided that their bonuses were much more important. Thankfully, Obama put conditions on the second TARP that prevented them from using this apportionment as a subsidy for their failures as the Bush Administration did.

Obama's Stimulus Plan is desgined to create jobs in infrastructure and that has, indeed, been working although rather slowly.
