They’ll argue you aren’t aware of the opportunities that weren’t closed off to you because you’re a white male. Racism is built into the system and you don’t see the bias. If you were black you wouldn’t have had opportunities presented to you in the first place regardless of how hard you’re willing to work.
This position is, ironically, inherently racist in itself. It makes assumptions about you because you’re a white male. You might have grown up in an abusive family with no focus on education, hard work or a moral code, yet to them, you still had “privilege”. It is nothing but racial hatred, another excuse for why blacks have failing communities and that you’re responsible - all because you’re white.
What really annoys me is that the moral, intelligent, hard working black people don’t agree either and it just causes racial friction between them and white people too. This argument helps nobody.
During my years working on a time card, I lost 2 different promotions to persons who were promoted under Affirmative Action.
Neither ended up able to do the job requirements.
One job I quit outright. Took 2 people to do the volume of work I could do. Am I feeling sorry for either the employer or the affirmative action promotion person? HELL NO.
