[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All races can have racist individuals and for anyone who says otherwise is part of the problem, not solution.  I worked for a year in the DC government.  I was the only white person there and it was made clear to me they hired me to be their diversity, never gave me any real work to do, were completely inappropriate with their insistence I do things like put up their christmas tree in the office (which I did but they complained I did it wrong - I thought I did great given it was my first Christmas tree and I don't celebrate Christmas), wouldn't give me access or any supplies (fine, I brought my own including a computer) and made all kinds of racial and other comments.  My only saving grace was I had some great co-workers who tried their best to shield me from much of it.  They won and I quit but I just stayed to get the work experience on my resume even though I did secretarial and cleaning most of the time for them vs. my actual skill set.

I went to work for a county.  White supervisor told me she was told not to hire me or any white people as they were looking for specific race but I was the only one qualified so they hired me.  It was made clear I'd never be promoted and that my race was an issue.  Not sure if it was good or bad she told me but it was clear what was going on in the agency.

These things should not happen to anyone of any race but they do.  Its life.  You either deal with it or leave.[/quote]
Has absolutely nothing to do with the immutability of the name of this movement but thanks for the two cents.
It's Black Lives Matter and it's not changing.[/quote]

That's fine but then the cause is for Black people, not all so stop putting out calls for White people to fix the problem when its not our cause.  Our cause would be police brutality for all races.  All races are impacted it but no other races who have faced police brutality are important and they probably deserved it according to many.[/quote]
Okay.
Bye.[/quote]
