The "bite the hand that feeds you" syndrome.
All this institutionalized teat business dehumanizes people and assaults their dignity. Truly the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I think that this anger, which is so deep-rooted as to seem impenetrable, leads to all sorts of mental disorders, paranoia being one of the first.
Had a petty disagreement with a black man recently and we hadn't exchanged three sentences when he started with the "don't give me that White sh-t!" The the black man in America, everything is about White People. That seems pretty psychologically messed up.
The differences between many blacks & whites can’t be bridged without massive changes, starting with education. Months ago when the black employee killed the white reporter and cameraman, I pointed out that one thing always overlooked in race relations is the non-black supervisors that have to deal with perpetually-aggrieved black employees. In the workplace, many blacks can’t understand why a doctor with five years’ experience is paid more than a receptionist with ten; they simply chalk it up to racism without any understanding of market forces at work or skills required.
I had cautioned a black co-worker (with whom I am friendly) about automatically using race as a scapegoat for such things as missed promotions (she has a high school education and feels she should be supervising more experienced college grads because she was in the company longer); I just can’t believe it doesn’t effect her health adversely. Unfortunately, some blatant cases of genuine “white privilege” (money thrown at an incompetent white woman by a white boss who is pursuing her romantically, for example) are enough to convince her it is everywhere.
