Obviously, you didn't, because you tried to dissect my words into the same misinterpretation that you dissected them into after I clarified them.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if I write it more clearly: <BR/><BR/>YOUR BLACKNESS IS ONLY AN OBSTACLE IN YOUR HEAD. IT ISN'T AN OBSTACLE IN 2007 REALITY.<BR/><BR/>YOUR BLACKNESS IS ACTUALLY AN ASSET FOR YOU IN 2007 REALITY BECAUSE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, "DIVERSITY," AND EOE.<BR/><BR/>Is it clear now what I believe to be true?

Or that I'm blaming my schooling for not getting a lucrative associate job? Or that I even WANT a lucrative associate job? Did I write that? Or did I just use "third-tier law degree" as an example in comparison to black-sounding names to illustrate that THAT is what gets your resume thrown in the trash, not the name "Shaniqua?" <BR/><BR/>I don't expect you to know what I wrote, given that you can't seem to understand what I meant by my earlier statements, even after I explained them.<BR/><BR/>And I'm not trying to avoid guilt for being White. I simply don't feel guilt for the "plight of the American Black." Neither I, nor my White peasant ancestors, did anything to you or your Black ancestors. Nil, nothing nada.<BR/><BR/>The only "obvious truth" I acknowledge is that AMERCIAN BLACKS CREATE THEIR OWN OBSTACLES IN THEIR OWN HEADS. THEY CREATE A VICTIM MENTALITY BASED AROUND THEIR BLACKNESS THAT IS INDOCTRINATED INTO THEM BY THEIR LEADERSHIP.<BR/><BR/>Ponder that for a few days before responding.

If you wanted to say it wasn't an obstacle at all you could have said: 'In 2007, Blacks make their race an obstacle when in reality it is not.'<BR/><BR/>But it doesn't matter because we in fact do disagree. I think you are fighting an obvious truth simply so you can say you don't have to feel guilty. That way you can continue to argue how unfair it is that in 2007 being Black is an asset and by logical extension being White is the obstacle. So that line of argument is nothing short of hypocracy.<BR/><BR/>The empiracle study shows that people of similar backgrounds are rejected because of Black sounding names. This is not something that is made up by "Black leaders." So your argument about third-tier schools only apply to you. It is you who should have done better in school so that you did not attend a third-tier school. Because the reality is your other White colleagues who are working in top NY Law firms were able to make it despite the reverse discrimination thrust upon them and the numbers show that they were able to make it by numbers far exceeding what the minorities with all their advantages were able to do. So the fact is you are the one disempowering yourself with such beliefs aimed only at making protecting your ego for your own failures. When you've learned to take responsibility for your actions as certain Blacks should, you and they, both should do much better.<BR/><BR/>Don't patronize me, but don't be stupid. Saying being Black is not an obstacle but an asset is just stupid.... <BR/><BR/>And the fact that race is an obstacle doesn't mean White people should feel guilty. I am under the same belief as you that it is up to Black people to pull themselves up; there dignity requires i. But I am under no illusion that there is no obstacle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-73669329803170793912007-08-26T14:40:00.000-04:002007-08-26T14:40:00.000-04:001:02 - Once again, you misinterpreted what I wrote...1:02 - Once again, you misinterpreted what I wrote.<BR/><BR/>"In 2007, Blacks make their race more of an obstacle than it is in reality."<BR/><BR/>Based on that sentence, how could you twist my words to assert that I somehow believe that, in 2007 reality, Blacks face obstacles based on their race?<BR/><BR/>In 2007 reality, your Black-ness isn't an obstacle. It's an ASSET, given Affirmative Action, Diversity, EOE, etc.<BR/><BR/>Blacks make their race a self-created obstacle, perpetuated by the teachings/indocrination of their "leadership." If you believe in something strong enough, it becomes your reality. Read Napoleon Hill. Read Anthony Robbins (I know he's a goober, but he makes some good points.) <BR/><BR/>But perhaps Blacks keep harping on their race because they want to make sure they keep Whites feeling guilty in perpetuity for "past wrongs" that none of us committed.<BR/><BR/>You believe what you want, I'll believe what I want.<BR/><BR/>I believe I'm correct. You can believe you're correct.<BR/><BR/>I refuse to feel guilty for something I didn't do. Nor did my ancestors do it.<BR/><BR/>I'll treat you equally and disagree with you equally, just as I'd do with a White person.<BR/><BR/>Don't look to me to patronize you or tell you you're "correct" for P.C. purposes when I believe you're incorrect.<BR/><BR/>I believe your beliefs are disempowering to yourself. You can believe they're "empowering" if you want, although I'm not sure how you'd be able to draw that conclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-84546559966576002862007-08-26T13:02:00.000-04:002007-08-26T13:02:00.000-04:00"...[P]ossibly real bad experiences of your Black ..."...[P]ossibly real bad experiences of your Black parents' generation that was taught to you as Gospel truth." Wow dude! I think we can call that ignorance....What exactly is taught as Gospel truth? That discrimination and racism exists? So your belief is that in 2007 America has eradicated all forms of racism and discrimination? We cannot call that belief denial. No, that just won't do. That belief is just pure idiotic. <BR/><BR/>You ever think that the possible bad experiences of the Black parents' generation - you know experiences like being rejected from a well paying job because of their race - may have been the catalyzing event that started the chain reaction leading to the Black person being under-prepared to enter anything but a third-tier law school? <BR/><BR/>Oh, and yes, White people get rejected too for various reasons. The Whitest of the White are poor too. And, yes, statistics show that economic factors play a roll in whether someone goes to a third-tier law school or not. See but even though one can overcome all these obstacles, I'm not making a claim that the obstacles don't exist. <BR/><BR/>Also, the only problem Black people have with being rejected because of their race is that there is nothing that they will be able to do within their lifetimes to change that factor. So the only choice they have is to just try again and hope the next person doesn't have something against Black people.<BR/><BR/>Whether you believe it doesn't happen or not doesn't matter cause it is quite clear that you are just bitter about not having a permanent job and so instead of blaming the third-tier law school on your resume, it is more convenient to blame affirmative action.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, you can rephrase your statements as many times as you want but the truth is your last comment shows that you believe that being Black is an obstacle: "Blacks make their race more of an obstacle that it is in reality." Well, you know what? Perhaps you are right. Perhaps Blacks do make their race more an obstacle than is the reality, but at least you realize that in reality it is an obstacle. Maybe there's hope for you after all. I recommend you send that resume one more time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-11436629959316219372007-08-25T22:27:00.000-04:002007-08-25T22:27:00.000-04:009:51, you read what I posted wrong.I wrote that I ...9:51, you read what I posted wrong.<BR/><BR/>I wrote that I don't acknoweldge that Blacks have anymore obstacles to overcome.<BR/><BR/>Then I wrote that if YOU FEEL that your "black-sounding" name is an obstacle, then change it.<BR/><BR/>I NEVER conceded that a "black-sounding" name on your resume is an obstacle. I NEVER stated that this was an objective truth.<BR/><BR/>I believe that in the year 2007, Blacks make their race more of an obstacle that it is in reality. It's a conditioned response to failure/rejection in the world, conditioned by what is taught by "Black leaders" and by the possibly very real bad experiences of your Black parents' generation that was taught to you as Gospel truth.<BR/><BR/>(NOTE: Everyone fails/gets rejected sometimes. Even the whitest of the White. It's a universal human experience.)<BR/><BR/>I DO concede that a third-tier law degree on your resume IS an obstacle to obtaining associate positions at quality firms (non-ambulance chasing or insurance defense). I concede that this is what gets your resume thrown in the garbage, not a "Black sounding" name.<BR/><BR/>So if you need to blame something for rejection, blame that instead. It might be closer to the reality of the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-70471684648416664772007-08-22T15:17:00.000-04:002007-08-22T15:17:00.000-04:00Toodles? halfwitToodles? halfwitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-79457361295833587922007-08-21T07:52:00.000-04:002007-08-21T07:52:00.000-04:00I find it so funny that the same people who are as...I find it so funny that the same people who are asking that African-Americans take responsibility for their own fate are the same people decrying the system for holding them down!!!

But the fact is that your comment shows that you do acknowledge that there are obstacles because your suggestion that Blacks try and deny/hide their race (as appose to asking that people drop their prejudices) is recognition of the fact that people discriminate. Also, what is in a name? They are not rejecting the application b/c of the name, they are rejecting it because of who that name represents. So unlike the Jewish person with White skin, when Blacks show up for the interview, there is a dead give away. The fact is Black people are moving up whether its through music, sports, business or professional work. A lot more work needs to be done, but it is being done. And expecting people to leave their parents issues behind when it is their parents that are teaching them to become who they will be is just not probable. A lot of Black people are exposed to things outside of their neighborhoods and colleges when they go off to school. They become productive members of society instead of a blemish on it. I really feel like I shouldn't have to defend Black people after all they've been through, but I figure this should be discussed because that is how we come to an understanding. I'm for affirmative action because I think a people in general need assistance instead of assuming they will make it out despite the obstacles. If we didn't have job fairs where diversity was emphasized then we may have gotten rejected because of our names or our skin color when they show up for the interview. Maybe some more qualified non-Blacks do suffer because of it, but tell that to all the baseball players before Jackie Robinson; tell that to the doctor who performed the first heart transplant (forgot his name but look on HBO: Something the Lord Made); and many other qualified people who are also rejected because they are Black. The way I see it, when we are truly even we won't need affirmative action any more. It's unfortunate that White, especially have to feel the same kind of discrimination, but at least it's not also accompanied by internecine violence. That's the last I'll say on this so you have the last word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-26234992907022579142007-08-20T20:33:00.000-04:002007-08-20T20:33:00.000-04:002:21, I don't acknowledge that there are any obsta...2:21, I don't acknowledge that there are any obstacles.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, you do. Agree to disagree. <BR/><BR/>But, I think you'd feel like a new person, like a weight was removed from your shoulders, if you'd stop carrying the burden of your parents and/or ancestors problems. Those are their problems, not yours. And most of them are dead, anyhow - it doesn't matter to them anymore. Why should it matter to you?<BR/><BR/>(I hope your parents are alive and well - don't take that the wrong way.)<BR/><BR/>Use what you've got! If it doesn't work, change it!<BR/><BR/>If you feel that a black-sounding name is a hinderance, change it to something neutral-sounding! Then no one can pre-judge you from a resume.

A lot of Jews did it when they were feeling persecuted. They used non-Jewish names to get themselves in the door. (Getting in the door is all you can ask for. The rest is up to you.

Most Blacks understand that they have to take advantage of our present situations to make a better future (in fact, Black people are increasingly self-critical. Certain shows and even messages on BET point to that fact. Those of you who watch BET will know what I'm talking about whether you agree with the methods or not) but, what I am arguing is that you should not make light of past because it is what accounts for the present. A lot of Black people don't subscribe to the antequated views of self-proclaimed Black leaders. But to pretend that MLK wasn't shot in '68 and that many Black parents were not called sub-human in one form or another is just denial. And to pretend that many of the Black parents who were discriminated against and forced to cycle around in poverty because of their skin color are not going to pass that mentality on to their children is just naive. It's not because "Black leaders" may use the race card sometimes to the point of absurdity, it is because it is true. <BR/><BR/>Like I said 47 years (arguably less).... Blacks payed a high price to help make this country great while being held back. At the very least we can pay it back. BTW, I didn't bring up race, someone up there did when they argued against affirmative action and "Blacks" not "African-Americans" taking their slots in law school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-6845401825192871192007-08-20T12:20:00.000-04:002007-08-20T12:20:00.000-04:00MY GOD!

Read on....<BR/><BR/>All I'm saying is to take responsibility for yourself as a PERSON, not as BLACK PERSON.<BR/><BR/>Think of yourself as an INDIVIDUAL, rather than as a BLACK INDIVIDUAL.<BR/><BR/>Don't give into the temptation and guilt trips foisted on you by the "Black Community" to walk in lockstep with your "Brothers & Sisters."<BR/><BR/>Only people who can act as individuals can succeed. Those who have to identify with their race because of fear are, like Spike Lee once said, "Crabs in a bucket." Once one tries to escape, the others all try to pull him/her back in.<BR/><BR/>Just like most other "leaders," "Black Leaders" have self-interest in mind. They pawn it off to their people like they're concerned about them ""getting ahead," when in reality, they're concerned with them STAYING BEHIND because that's how they keep in business.<BR/><BR/>NOTE: Only MLK was a great Black leader. He gave it all up trying. The best thing that ever happened to Jesse Jackson was being next to MLK when he got shot, for the photo op/symbolism. <BR/><BR/>I can't see your color here.

Although I'm sure it happened, it wasn't as systematic as that which was done to Blacks. The fact of the matter is that Blacks were here since the inception of the United States. They were considered by Southern States as 3/5th human beings in order that they may be used politically but were treated as property(I didn't see Chinese people mentioned). The 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments were America's attempts to make up for slavery. Everyone, including women and Asians, benefitted from that and the resulting Civil Rights Act. Not saying that Chinese people and especially women were not discriminated against and did not have it rough, but let's be honest here, Black people's struggle was beneficial for all Americans so I think all Americans owe Blacks a debt of gratitude. At the very least they should recognize that the cycle of poverty is not just easily broken by simply picking yourself up by the bootstrap. Especially when you've had a government that facilitated your oppression until at 1964 (arguably until much later - especially on a State level), and a private sector that discriminates consciously or subconsciously. <BR/><BR/>Moreover, after being told that you are sub-human for generations it's not hard to believe that a mother cannot convince her children that they can do more and not to see herself as a victim.
