Black Corporate Directors Conference, here is what he had to say about race "off the record":
At the panel, O'Brien asked Immelt about diversity at NBC Universal — primarily, its lack of it.
Immelt responded, according to our tipster, that he hires who he is "comfortable with." He followed up that statement by listing, in order, the "type" of people he trusts. And they are:
1) White Men
2) White Women
3) Black Men
4) Black Women
Now our favorite "Black In America" smear ring-master of ceremonies, Soledad O'Brien, was the panelist who posed the question to Immelt and in keeping with the confidentiality "rules" of the conference, Ms. O'Brien can't / won't confirm or deny the statements made and in what context they were made.
I'm not one to casually throw around the word "racist," so I would REALLY like Mr. Immelt's camp to respond to this story.
