It is true today. Those same racists back then passed on their beliefs to their children.

Its quite counterproductive for you to believe that it isnt like it was back in the day.

Nah... It just reality..... I work the exact same hours, and meet the exact same goals/metrics as my white counterparts..... I'm good at what I do and I've never been required to do anything "extra" just to maintain the same status as my counterparts

People need to stop doing this. The older I get the more I realize people view the world only through their personal experiences and ignore greater trends.

While their is much truth to the experiences of various post in this thread as well as the OP, it seems black people have to change our mind set and outlook. If we are scrutinized, surveyed and penalize more than our counterparts than perhaps we should divorce the worker mentality. By no means am i saying all blackp ppl should suddenly become self-employed but instead adopt that mindframe and spirit of an entrepreneur.

If working for someone, don't look for them to feed you for years, especially if you're working twice as hard. Instead work the job with the outlook of how to run the buisness yourself or gain the skills necessary to raise yoir value and worl somewhere that will better appreciate your skills and work ethics.

Black ppl in position to hire or manage should not hold other black ppl to the same scrutiny and unfair tactics as non-blacks. Not to say hook up every black person that walks through the door. Instead if in position to make a positive difference, do so and not adopt the ways of the oppressors.

Corporate world is slow death for the black man. It's a cac playground with other non-black minorities sucking dikk to see who can shyt on the nikka the fastest.

Black woman is the enemy in the corporate world. A sexualized viper that views the black man as competition and will do anything to undermine, belittle, and player hate any black mafugga that wont self identify as a prancing lisping weirdo.

Real nikkas do not exist in the corporate world and if they do it's because they started the company. The End.

Nah. Not telling my kids this. It's a setup for resentment and insecurity.

If you have an education, there's enough opportunity out there, so you don't have to stay at a job if they aren't treating you right.

I'll work on making sure my kids have a choice, as opposed to telling them they have to take it up the ass and enjoy it
