Real evidence of anti-white bias in the workplace is extraordinarily rare.
3 questions
- What was the company or government agency, or contractor to which you had applied for a position or contract, which you believe discriminated against you?
- When did you apply for this job or contract?
- Who was hired or given the contract ahead of you, and what evidence do you have that they were less qualified, objectively than you for the position ?
1) I'm not going to disclose personal information. It was a private manufacturing company.
2) I was brought on as a contractor (temp) in 2017, and applied for a full time position in 2018. I did not get the job, but Ms. Affirmative Action did. Pretty much the whole team hated her after a few months as they ended up doing her work, while she shopped on Amazon all day.
3) How do I know I was more qualified? Because I had 35 years of experience in supply chain compared to her 10. Also, because I had a proven record of improving processes during the six months I worked as a temp.
Because she kept leaning over into my cubicle asking me how to do stuff, and I was the only guy nice enough to keeping answering her questions after the rest of the team got sick of her nonsense.
And you ignore that at every turn, your hard work has been met with access to an opportunity structure to which most blk ppl are denied similar access. Privilege, to whites, is like water to the fish: invisible precisely because u cannot imagine life without it.
Sorry, man, don't buy it. Most of what I have I worked for and earned. I didn't sit around waiting for a fat government check.
Of course you did. Because the larger opportunity structure that has skewed power and resources in whites direction. That's why Blacks who wish to avoid whites in their neighborhoods will typically find themselves limited to the poorest, most crowded areas of town (places whites long ago abandoned) since finding Caucasian-free zones in more prosperous suburbs can be a tough task.
Again- the neighborhood my grandfather moved into when he immigrated here from Germany wasn't abandoned, it changed. Grandpa didn't move until he found a thug in his kitchen at 2 AM. (That thug was lucky he didn't get shot. Grandpa served in the Kaiser's army in WWI.)
We subsequently rented the place, and it got trashed by every set of tenants that were in there.
I'm old enough to remember the riots of 68, when my Dad was concerned that the riots might spill over into our neighborhood.
But whites can more or less live wherever they wish with the help of mortgage discrimination, redlining, zoning laws and so-called “market forces” pricing many blacks out of the better housing markets (even though whites only got into those markets because of government subsidies and preferences, both private and public).
Redlining and zoning were outlawed in the 1970's. There are neighborhoods I can't afford to live in, what's your point?
