" Other, more successful blacks simply don't have that mindset..."
Not necessarily so. Many years ago when I worked at the IRS National Headquarters in D.C., I rode to a meeting in Philadelphia with two black female IRS employees. Both of these women had long since achieved the "Peter Principle" and exceeded their imcompetence levels; they spent the entire trip griping about how Koreans had taken over ownership of the fast food outlets and the dry cleaning establishments. Sadly, these two twits couldn't have run any kind of establishment, but they were, like the Jeffersons, "movin' on up" in the IRS hierarchy.
Three major problems with the IRS (not necessarily in this order):
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
Senior Executive Service (SES)
National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU)
Okay, CinnamonBear - try Spellcheck next time.
Please read incompetence, not imcompetence.
