then having to take a written test. At the same socioeconomic level African Americans have higher aspirations to achieve a college degree than Euro-Americans do (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). The third stereotype that African Americans are accused of is being lazy and irresponsible. It is said that African Americans don‘t like to get jobs. How is this true when about the same proportion of African Americans as Euro-Americans hold jobs? This must mean that Euro Americans are lazy too. Even though they work at some of the same jobs as Euro-Americans, African American men receive only 70 percent of the pay. African American women receive 62 percent of the pay as Euro-Americans. They are historically stuck doing much of the hard labor that helped establish the U.S. economy. This has not changed, because they are still stuck doing the industrial work, and working at down sized corporations. African Americans must work twice as hard and must stay in a position longer than normal workers just to prove they are not lazy and incompetent, and that they can handle the next assignment. Euro- Americans believe that African Americans are too incompetent to handle higher-level responsibilities; this is why they have to stay at their lower level positions longer (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). The last stereotype that African Americans are accused of is being resentful troublemakers. This stereotype is related to the violent and blaming stereotypes. Most African American communities believe in speaking up assertively. Expressing your feelings that you are feeling, and directly confronting issues are highly valued beliefs in the African American community. That is why people outside their community may believe they are being rude towards them. It is actually not meant to be the way that they interpreted their feelings. Euro-Americans and African Americans act in different definitions of ethnic prejudice. African Americans might get up in your face to argue their case. Euro-Americans might take that the wrong way and get defensive. They might start yelling at the African American, which in turn starts an argument between the two. The argument could either be verbal or violent. Either way this could look badly for the African American, and get the troublemaker stereotype. Even though it‘s not always their fault when trouble is caused, they get the wrong image because of the stereotype (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). 57
America has become more and more diverse, but the same cannot be said for the corporate part of America. Many African Americans have moved into better paying jobs, but still hit a glass ceiling when they move into the middle management positions. African Americans have had trouble breaking through the class ceiling their entire life. There are many obstacles that they have to go through before they will be able to break through the glass ceiling. Many African Americans feel pressured to drop their identity to fit in. They feel pressured to become almost white in order to become accepted into the workplace. They believe that they have to change their speech, the way they dress, and their hair in order to fit into the corporate culture. They also have to deal with their fellow employees believing they were just an affirmative action hire. Affirmative action is an attempt to promote equal opportunity. It is instituted in government and education settings to ensure that minority groups within a society are included in all programs (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). African Americans have all these barriers in breaking through, but once they do, they usually stay there. Once an African American family breaks the cycle of poverty and get adequate jobs, the cycle will stay for the entire family. The children will start doing better and school, which in turn will get a better education, and receive a higher income once they receive an occupation. There are not a lot of African Americans that broke the glass ceiling, but there is still a good amount that pushed through. African Americans have been making it to the top position of Fortune 500 companies since 1995. The top position of a Fortune 500 company is a CEO. Fortune 500 companies are the 500 largest corporations in the U.S. They are ranked based on revenues, profits, and market value. Some of the people that have received the CEO positions are Franklin Raines, Kenneth Chenault, Thomas-Graham, Richard Parsons, Stanley O‘Neal, Ann M. Fudge, and Ronald Williams. They are CEO‘s of places like American Express, CNBC, Time Warner, Merrill Lynch, Young & Rubicam Brands, and Sears Holding. Organizations such as Executive Leadership Conference (ELC) have played a role in helping these people become CEOs. Two of these people are members and the other two are supporters. ELC contains 300 of the most senior African-American corporate executives in Fortune 500 companies. ELC is trying to have more African Americans become leaders at all levels of corporate 58
