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?
That has been my observation too. If you are Black, you get a lot of slack. People are far less likely to call you on issues or shortcomings, or even argue with you, for fear of looking like a racist. Basically, you nearly have to ruin the company or organization before you get fired. I think almost all Blacks realize this, but some really take advantage of it. Conversely, people know this, which is why most organizations can only tolerate a few of these individuals—making it totally unfair to those Blacks who really want to work and get ahead on the merits. This is something that is real, but never gets discussed.
