As a Black Man with a White Name, White Speech Patterns and White Mannerisms (I was raised this way by a Mother and Father who knew the shitty world they lived in) I totally agree with you. This race thing is just so stupid!
I get great phone interviews, and often get told: The in person interview is a formality! Then…
Yup. I am thankful my parents were world weary enough to know the game, and ensured all their kids are articulate and emulate WASP speaking patterns, but the can’t save you from the face to face.

White people intrinsically fear black people. Its been manufactured, but its been working for 500 years. White people* will cheer when they sign the documents creating the 21st century versions of internment camps because of this fear.
Hate sustains people. Many disadvantaged White people console themselves with the idea that they are genetically better than the Black Man with the BMW or the Ivy League education.
Things like this is why I know lynchings and racial terrorism will become common place again in America during the Mid Century. So many White People NEED it in their lives. They are defined by their Whiteness.
Wow another isolated incident of Racism in White Culture.
How many is that so far this year?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but:
Things will be getting worse.
Yup my thoughts exactly.
Post Racial America folks!
Looking forward to seeing how communities handle this along with the fun times that water, food, energy and job scarcity will bring!
The production in this video is not that great....
Yes. My mother also sued the school district to get us into AP programs that had "limited space."
How much you wanna bet that Transgender is normative before brown people are?
Jamie Foxx is just an arrogant idiot, imo. And you are right he should know better, if he wasn't so patently stupid.
