These today so called minorities should first understand that by keep thinking of themselves as minority will never change the way the "majority" sees them. If you're good eventually you'll do fine but if YOU THINK you're good and should get a job just because you are part of a minority you'll eventually fail. But we keep missing the fact that we are all humans, that's all that matter. P.S. I was born in Ghana, Africa and I'm a human being! give us all a break with this same ‘ol s#@it, I hire people that are good and talented and so does jibjab and many others.

If you’re good eventually you’ll do fine but if YOU THINK you’re good and should get a job just because you are part of a minority you’ll eventually fail.

But we keep missing the fact that we are all humans, that’s all that matter.

P.S. I was born in Ghana, Africa and I’m a human being!

And you did it all by being slackers. :) I guess all the hard work does pay off, and for you guys, in spades. Bravo! You are two very lucky SOBs! And you did it all by being slackers. :)

Thanks so much for sharing in such detail. And I don't mind one little (now fixed) typo in such an overall well-written piece--and I'm a professional writer and editor. :) That is such a wonderful story.

I will re-post the same post. If removed again, I will post it in every possible channel of communication. I really thought that you were smart enough to accept the fact even if it hurts ....

I wish you a more brilliant future and to your business an ever lasting expansion. I liked your very nice work “He’s Barack Obama”, a nice ad that shows your abilities. I hope that this ad will convince many, so that they join your existing customers. In a satirical way, you pointed out the difficult tasks expected from him to deliver to the citizens of his nation. Among those huge tasks are the fight to tackle the unemployment rate that skyrocketed from last year. Unemployment rate is even more horrible among minorities and especially the black community. With or without recession, that rate never came back from the “sky’. One of the main reasons, among others which keep things unchanged, is the unwillingness of CEO’s and managers to do their duty to their society. In his June press conference, the President, when asked about what should be done to overcome the problem of unemployment among black community, mentioned some successful experiences of training unemployed and under-qualified persons and expressed his intention to help expand those experiences to other neighbourhoods and cities. But, whatever his willingness to push things ahead for the well being of his citizens, a one hand never claps. Superman needs you! At the end of your ad “He’s Barack Obama”, one can see clearly that YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE ALL NON BLACKS EXCEPT ONE PERSON. For a nation with 15% African American, that’s weird. Computer work is not rocket science nor artistic work, and the black community showed their ability to deliver. Impressed by Obama? Please impress your society as well! Do your duty by making money and being a responsible entrepreneurial leader vis-à-vis your society…. And YES YOU CAN. You have nice and smart ideas and a pleasant business.

We've made the fix -- at least we hope so -- and thank you for pointing it out. In our defense, we're still so incredibly excited about meeting the POTUS that our grammar skills have slipped; we hope you'll forgive us. Ouch – point well taken, Jason.
