THINGS ON THE PLANTATION HAVE NOT CHANGED: PEOPLE OF COLOR LOW ON THE TOTEM POLE

I have been talking so long about discrimination and hiring practices that keep minorities in low paying positions within Department of Children and Families / Connecticut Juvenile Training School. Lets examine if things changed since the administration came in to power. Since the new DCF administration came into power in 2011 there has been only four blackmen hired, 2 of them are Youth Services Officers at CJTS. One of these hires in an office assistant, the last one is a Child Service Worker. For some strange reason DCF has only hired three Hispanic males, one is in the CJTS Barber Shop, one is a custodian, and one is a Social Worker. My point is that black and Hispanic males within DCF/CJTS are relegated to lowest possible jobs on the plantation. Let me be clear. White adminstrators on the plantation will hire a barber for $15,000 thousand dollars a year and point to that as diversity. While on the DCF Plantation the CJTS top administrator William Rosenbeck is paid over $110,000 yearly or 7 times as much as the the Hispanic cutting hair. Is there something wrong with this DCF/CJTS picture? Things on the DCF Plantation have not changed in reality. People of color are still on low on the totem pole, whether economic or disciplinary actions. Look at the graph below; where is equality, diversity in this era of enlightenment since a new DCF administration came to power in 2011.

There are only two places where minorities are in the majority at CJTS. When it comes to employment the Custody Department shows that there are 107 employees who are minority, and only 41 are White. The other place are those residents under CJTS custody, where a majority of them are Black or Hispanic.
