I can recall three times in my work career where a lesser qualified black was promoted over me because of the need to advance minorities in key positions. This is what white “ privilege has done for me so I guess my experience was the justified result of pre-1960’s corporate America. My privilege also allowed me to work 60 plus hours a week, sacrifice family and health, while others put in 40 hour weeks and expected promotions. This professor needs to get out of the protected classroom and see the real world.
My wife is a foreigner with no experience with Black Americans. She was pen pals with Black Africans. She worked in a branch office of an insurance company with all kinds of people and saw first hand the arrogance, entitlement and disrespect the American Blacks had. They knew the couldn’t be fired for arriving late, leaving early after taking long lunches.
The Filapinas right off the boat busted their butts. The Armenians busted hump, everyone but the Blacks. I guess we’d call Black privilege now. Let’s just say her attitude toward Blacks doesn’t leave much too for the benefit of doubt.
Who’s fault is this attitude?
