Don't forget about the stores/companies that advertise they are black owned and operated. How about government jobs where they have to hire at least a certain number of minorities even if they aren't as well qualified as a white male?

The "overqualified and perfect fit" thing was an example for goodhart in response to his comment. Did you actually understand my post? Seems not.

You never answered my question though: Have you entered the adult working world yet? Have you experienced first-hand the injustice against the black man in working America? Every company I've been with since college has employed multiple minorities and not a single one of them felt they were entitled to a certain job; they worked just like the rest of us to get to where they are.

I didn't answer your question because I was responding to your original post, not the part you added when you edited it. I wasn't looking back for edits, just moving foward, waiting to see where the thread would go. And as a matter of fact, I have entered the so-called adult workforce you speak of. I'm an employee at a blue collar company and I move furniture and other stuff that people own. I can't really tell for sure, but it almost seems like you are trying to play some kind of holier-than-thou card with the comments about the adult working world. As if I were a child. I'm the same age as you and I don't hate you because you have a higher paying job than me. You can drop that bit.

One doesn't need an education to know how they feel about their situation. You use the word nigger too freely and with no consideration of the consequences. You might not know this, but this site is not just a bunch of white people who don't mind the slur. Your words may never come back to bite you, that's true, but you may also never know if they do any damage to others.
As for taking the thread in a slightly different direction, it is a related and relevant direction.
