I like and agree how you feel that the Rooney Rule is intended to increase exposure to candidates who wouldn't be otherwise be considered for promotion. But getting hired is the prize, not simply getting interviewed. Your point is well taken though.

Maybe I should have clarified. I should have said my issues never have anything to do with 'African American'.
