Tonnes of kids from great CS programs apply to jobs at Google/Facebook/Pinterest/etc, the reality is that it is difficult to secure a job at these companies straight out of college. Call me ignorant, but I don't think race is the reason why black coders aren't given a chance at these companies. All these companies are looking to "diversify" their workforce (they even have teams focused on this issue!), they are just having trouble finding quality talent within non-represented groups.
