No need for excuse of adult beverages.
“Angry Black Woman Syndrome” was the explanation for my unfortunate experience of having two (count ‘em) bosses like that before I retired. I replied with kindness at all times and barely survived although I was told by others they were gunning for anyone white. I thank God for allowing me to make it to retirement.
Harvard Business Review article excerpt:
“The angry Black woman stereotype has penetrated many parts of American culture, including the workplace. This pervasive stereotype not only characterizes Black women as more hostile, aggressive, overbearing, illogical, ill-tempered and bitter, but it may also be holding them back from realizing their full potential in the workplace — and shaping their work experiences overall.”

No one ever dare suggests that blacks, overall, have a greater propensity for violence than other races. No one ever complains when blacks are singled out for their naturally superior athletic or musical performance, so why can’t they also be criticized?
