Now let's talk about the problems of institutional racism. I’ve been doing some reading. We're on the wrong side of this issue.

Well, why don't they just get rid of the new system and put the old one back in?

It'd be too expensive. Ted, this isn't about race. It's about money. It's always about money.

Money before people. That's the company motto... engraved right there on the lobby floor. It just looks more heroic in Latin.

It turned out Lem had also been thinking about the money issue. And he put together some interesting numbers to show us. And then we all went to speak to management in a language they could understand.

Within a margin of error of plus or minus one percent. And so, if the company keeps hiring white people... to follow black people to follow white people to follow black people, by- Thursday, June 27, 2013- ...every person on Earth will be working for us.

And we don't have the parking for that.
