U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

No privilege for me.

 

In fact, during my career - I've been discriminated against by EEOC.  I was passed up because the company needed to improve their numbers.  I know this because in my position I was shared the numbers and told they needed to improve.  Nothing to do with performance, just making the numbers "right."

 

But do I blame a "system."  No.  I just get better so that it doesn't happen next time.

 

None of us had any choice in what we were born into.  But we do have the choice whether or not we allow ourselves to be slaves to our excuses for lack of achievement.

 

You're precisely what I'm talking about.
So you're pointing to reverse discrimination? Is that what you want to say? They wanted to improve numbers for underrepresented groups so they passed you up? Discriminated against EEOC, what a joke. My father couldn't even dream of getting a job as a firefighter in Jacksonville until AA was enacted in the 1970s. A black man as a firefighter! Such as silly idea.
