Will It Ever Be Acceptable to Simply Expect a Professional WOC to Be Accountable for Her Actions?

There are protected classes, and then there are protected classes.

One of the first tells that a person feels they belong to a special group who deserve privileges not normally afforded to the peasants milling in everyday life around their feet occurs when questions arise concerning something that same person allegedly either did or said.

A "something" has taken place which, for whatever reason, has caused people to look in a certain direction for answers to any one - or all - of the who, why, how, what, etc. interrogatives. Or simply looking for clarification.

Oftentimes, the answer is simple, direct, and to the point. "Yes, I did," "No, I didn't," or "I've never heard of that. Why would you think I had," which is a perfectly legitimate response. Clarity and honesty, after all, are two-way streets.

What's been happening more and more lately is that an answer that might not be entirely truthful to begin with gets spun out almost to its bitter end. But instead of the anticipated resolution or mea culpa as obfuscations are stripped away, a feigned sense...well, let me change. Maybe it's real.

Maybe a sense of entitled frustration that breaks through with a waspish, "And how dare you ask me as a [insert skin hue] woman!" As if that very person was of a status deemed beyond questioning by virtue of a physical feature obtained by genetics alone.

She’s a talented prosecutor when it fits the narrative. When it doesn’t fit, she’s Black, or a Woman, or gay, or stilted, or had a neglectful mother or a bad childhood … or whatever adjective fits the situation.

Just being competent is no longer relevant. Especially if you’re not competent or not forthright. That’s when everything else matters.

The answer, in this woke, Affirmative Action world we live in is a resounding no.

And that is one of the evils of Affirmative action, hand in hand with the fact that a beneficiary of Affirmative Action will never be judged fairly by everyone on their merits.

If they have any.
