Episode 13 – Keni Thacker has a pint with Seaniebee by A Pint With Seaniebee published on 2016-05-10T06:54:58Z Keni is the Senior Event Technology Specialist and a diversity advocate at JWT advertising in New York. He joins the pod to give his personal perspectives on the state of racism in America today. We talk about the sorry state of affairs that currently exists when it comes to employing people of color in advertising and marketing, defined as it is by lip-service and a complete lack of transparency; how a combination of ‘keyboard gangsters’ and regressive leftism is driving much of the current race hatred that has culminated in the meteoric rise of Donald Trump; and how schools, colleges and educators need to take more responsibility for changing the situation. You can get inspiration from his original ‘Thackerisms’ here wwww.kenithacker.com or @KeniThacker.
