In my experience anytime a black person gets a job or promotion most white people will see them as being unqualified and feel they only got it because of affirmative action or something.
It's unfortunate that the world is like that but what can you do
Some Black people, unfortunately, buy into Affirmative Action being the sole reason for advancement. Not sure if they know they do it, either.
During the diaspora wars the past few years, one of the most repeated phrases was that Black foreigners were taking
slots meant for others in college admissions.
Implication being that neither the immigrant or the native born Black would/could get into the school on his own merits.
Always raised my eyebrow to read that. Still does.
