My Banker Boss in LA told me that when he was promoted to President in Chicago they also gave him a tutor to go with it because he was black. That’s messed up. (he’s 70 now)

Did they do the same thing for white people in a similar position?  In fairness, people moving up the career ladder are oftentimes provided with some assistance in one form or another  to get them up to speed in a new job.

Was this done ONLY because he was black?  If that's the case, that would indeed be bad, and suggests that the bank didn't really want him there and was being forced to place him there against the wishes of other management members..

Or, it could also be because management there was composed of condescending liberals who supported affirmative action and who thought that blacks simply could never do the job without extra help.

According to him the latter would apply. He was a very smart man whom took his time on decision making.
