I haven't experienced it from ANY perspective (that I'm aware of).

Hell yes that'd be just as bad in my eyes and at the same time I can see it happening more blatantly than if it were to happen in a W company.

Do you really do this?

No, I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. It seems that these stereotypes bother you, and it's logical to assume that you'd like to see them gone. But, you respond with "leave it alone."

That doesn't make any sense. How can these stereotypes be overcome if "we" don't know what they are AND are then told to "leave it alone"?

I'll remember this next time I stop at the gas station on the way home from work, in the bad neighborhood, and have to smile and greet people and hold the door for them, to break the stereotype that any well-dressed white guy is a racist.

Let's be serious here. You don't know what it's like trying to dance at weddings, or make sure reruns of Friends are being DVR'd correctly.

Hate to break it to you, but MOST PEOPLE, white or black, are born with JACK, (like me...Nothing.) and have to work very hard to get anything.
I have lived in many cities in this country, and there is no doubt in my mind that the playing field in areas with opportunities for the everyday man like you, and I(not the top 1%), is level. Under qualified people are given jobs in these fields when is not necessary. There are plenty of qualified minorities to fill these positions, but I don't think they bother narrowing them down because they just know they need x amount of minorities. I'm pretty sure, having lived in South Fla. this long, that it is mandatory for govenrment establishments here to hire x amount of Haitians. Most of them don't give a **** about anything, and there are plenty of people around here that deserve those jobs. Most of them african americans.

I swear it's like talking to a deaf mute.
DID YOU NOT SEE THE (NOT YOU)?

No one gives a shit about your hiring practices. Just because "you have black friends" doesn't mean that EVERYONE does. So I understand if they put an umbrella over the entire thing.

You have no clue.

You're being facetious but it'd go a long way to breaking that stereotype.

~I'm being dead serious.

I intentionally try to be nice to people when I'm there. I'm not sure it does anything though.

LMAO

Wow, that's nuts.
Do you look like Jules? Do you have a wallet that says 'Bad Mother****er"?

To paraphrase Chris Rock:

In any given classroom, there will be a few great students, a few horrible students, and the rest fall in the middle. The problem is that the black C student damned sure isn't going to be heading to the front of any line of job applicants. You know what happens to the white C student? Well, he's the president of the USA.

hell i'm white as a MOFO and i want one of those wallets.

OK so you're not being facetious because you intentionally try to break the stereotype. So you DO know where I'm coming from on some fronts. Now imagine if those black people owned all the businesses you wanted to work for, etc.... what'd be the best way to ensure you get a CHANCE at a job within one of their establishments?

We may be getting somewhere after all.
