One thing I notice literally every day at work (a GREAT company where just about everyone is extremely well compensated, maybe even overcompensated compared to the rest of the market — myself included) is that the black employees almost universally hang out exclusively with each other. It’s especially noticeable at the cafeteria. It sure can’t be because they are treated badly. We have first-rate, best-of-industry sensitivity training, and everyone I’ve ever met is extremely nice to one another, yet the self-segregation is nearly 100% universal. I suppose it can be interpreted in many ways, but from my view something definitely seems amiss in the black community, even among affluent professionals.
“from my view something definitely seems amiss in the black community, even among affluent professionals.”
From my experience in a medical school/hospital setting in the “chocolate city” the answer is that the black community is the last stronghold of racist’s. This is racism practiced against any other group that might usurp their position as uber-victims.
When my daughter was in HS at a school that was very selective the blacks who were there from the projects complained that they were called Uncle Tom’s every day by the other blacks who had no intention of trying to get out of the projects. Their problem is that many do not want successful blacks...because successful blacks prove that what is needed is the elimination of crutches so people can pick up their beds and walk. A little religious reference for those that can’t figure out that black minister’s, liberals, and politician’s are the problem not the helpers that they claim but the enablers of the destruction of a culture.
