You may note that I haven't said a word about AA.

I'm questioning why you wrote this: "We have to work double hard at almost everything from speech to grades to appearance to even working twice as hard to prove we're just as responsible or competent as our white counterparts."

Donger, you're not black... you don't know how you have to have a smile on your face when you walk past a white lady so that she won't fear you snatching her purse. You don't know how you have to overtip to break the stereotype that not all black people aren't bad tippers.

Just leave it alone.

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.

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

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

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.

The best way to secure a job is to make yourself marketable by obtaining relevant skills and education.

To that end I worked through college (twice) and would be looking for jobs in areas in which I have related experience.

I guess the best way to ensure you get a chance at a job is to be professional and build up your qualifications.

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.

So it's ok for you to have a stereo type but not us? As long as you state you and not "you"?

How do you ever figure we will over come this problem as long as it is "we" and not we?
