[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh geez....I was going to add some tips.  I am a hiring officer in my agency and I am a minority.  Never mind! I am not in the mood for this "White people as victims" crap.  [/quote]

Be lucky you have never been told that you cannot have a job due to race.  I was with one of the local government's.  There are very few white people hired.  I was told by my white supervisor that she was instructed to hire a minority.  I got very lucky with her but there was clear discrimination and it was obvious by who was getting promoted (people who we had to help do their work as they couldn't hack it).[/quote]
Well, now I guess you know how black people have felt for the last few hundred years (and I didn't want to say this -- but your dumbass post just brought it out of me)[/quote]

So currently white people are responsible for what happened 100's of years ago?  That's your "so there" statement?  [/quote](DP here.) No, but white people benefit. I descended from abolitionists who ran a stop on the Underground Railroad so ancestrally speaking I should get a free pass. But I still have benefited nearly every day of my life from being white.  I know that as soon as I walk into the vast majority of rooms in this country that people will see me as someone who belongs there.  Doesn't matter whether we did anything to anyone in the past.  If we benefit now, we need to recognize that and work to make things better.[/quote]
