@dshipp17: White racist=black man looking for a job??????? Damn u stupid. Y'all always have to do that both sides shit. Your analogy is dumb.
Sounds like you have too much faith in managers and supervisors. You're not experienced enough to understand the types of struggles I'm implying, likely because you've never lost employment and have job security to look forward to; or, you have reason to believe that you could get a new job within a reasonable, if you did lose your job. If these describe you even some, then you need to study up some on the struggles being faced by African Americans and other minority groups in the US of which you're probably not apart, or, again, simply just too young and inexperienced; but, talking about it, as we're doing, is a good start. By all means, please describe your experiences, too. I'm speaking from an experienced perspective. I'm not just speculating, whereas you'd have to be. You're theorizing and guessing how conditions exists or should exist, so, it seems stupid for you. You need to start studying up on learning the trait of empathy, in order to begin the understanding process. Otherwise, I'd feel insulted by what you said, but, I just know from experience that you just could not relate and understand what I'm getting at.
But, basically, as a perceived African American, I first had to fight through low expectations throughout college, where it got exponentially tougher, when I transferred to another school that was close to ivy league. Once done with college, I had to receive a miracle from God to escape past a series of catch 22s to finally get employment in my chosen field of major, which was in a STEM field. Once I got to work, I had to consistently face harassment, starting with my Caucasian and Asian coworkers being condescending and patronizing towards me, kind of a repeat of what I faced at my second, but shorter, stint in college. This was only because God blessed with an atypical management set up, at the very start. But, once that changed, I then faced an ever escalating hostile work environment, until I was illegally displaced from my rightful employment. But, under more usual conditions, this final experience was likely to be at the very start of an African American's work experience, assuming that they could escape those catch 22s that are designed to keep them from the workforce to begin with, where few African American college graduates actually do escape this mine field, where few African Americans make it to college; now, the impression that that I'm facing because my legal issues haven't quickly resolved in my favor is actually used as the excuse to keep me from returning to the workforce. I have decision makers either there playing along, or willing to play along, where they even include African Americans, where there's clearly some envy going on, because they're in law, but I'm in STEM. It would be even worse, but for a lesser unscrupulous or more honorable attorney opposing me, where this is even a miraculous setup. But, typically, an African American wouldn't even have that benefit.
Thus, the system is designed to keep you, as even a perceived African American, from achieving success, especially if you're also being discriminated against based on your looks, or, if you do achieve it, to push you out as quickly as possible, once you've made it. Thus, my respect for someone who is employed or has employment longevity is very limited, as I know the system has to benefit someone; they've just been lucky not to be faced with the same challenges that I'm faced with, and there was no amount of worked that allowed them to progress beyond what I experienced; just luck and connections, because of the true character of most mangers and supervisors that you're so gullible towards. African Americans usually have that air of presumption that someone gave them a break that someone white wouldn't gotten, where the system is actually rigged for whites, presuming such an impression did have a small basis in reality. This is just the beginning, I'll safely guess. I'm sure African Americans could describe experiences that would make what I describe sound like I was treated like a princess.
This is all created, because the employment laws have become way to antiquated, as compared to the court decisions and lack of regulations guarding against abuses, especially for job applicants, students, and student applicants. I've notice the same old summary judgment case having been cited 200 million times since just 2007, which made things even tougher from a prior summary judgment standard that was cited in millions of prior cases, since 1985; if this is happening and resulted in adverse decisions against plaintiff's facing discrimination, then action by Congress is clearly long over due to overhaul and update these employment laws; a plaintiff both inside, as well as outside the police force should be receiving the same level of success in pursuing their employment rights, where it could be increased, where the police union's success rate has dipped down into the 40% range.
