i understand, prove to yourself, totally, but to try to make something of one's self, whether whatever race, it usually goes pass having to prove just to yourself. i'll put it this way, when i was unemployed, i know i was qualified and proved to myself on my prior job, before i was laid off due to lack of work, that i was good (not great because i didnt have THAT much experience) at what i did. but i was laid off for 9 months constantly putting in resumes for career based jobs with no success. i know it wasnt TOTALLY because i was black, other reasons (not hiring, already selected someone else, etc) were some of the reasons, but i know there were times when race came into the decision. that's just something i know, not that i'm plastering it, because no one ever saw me say when i was unemployed, 'i cant get hired because i'm black and they dont want to hire a black man', naw i hustled, got my money to pay bills, by whatever legal means necessary until i was able to find employment in a similar field.
for someone to come in this thread and say 'black people are the most racist' is close minded and ignorant to say. yea you cant prove that they are and you cant prove that they arent....you were the one that said we are and were asked to provide proof that we are. that perception is so tunneled and tainted....it just shows more on your ignorance. stop sitting there labeling people as this or that, humans are racist period
