I am not blind to it. I specifically mention it repeatedly in this thread. But I am calling out how that isn’t slung at most white executives with the frequency or strength of conviction that is directed at minorities. There is a baseline assumption that certain people must have the baseline competence to warrant getting an opportunity it just so happens the baseline fits things that white men have had greater access to in the past elite education, prestigious work experience, social networks of friends and allies among other markers. I am glad Michael had elements of those so he can ply a role in progress. I hope he uses that position to help others of all demographic backgrounds. I trust he will.
What’s your solution then? Easy to question the balance of my argument and not actually propose a constructive solution.
- mellosouls 6y agoThis is a complicated issue and I don't claim to have a solution, and its not a requirement that I provide one when countering other comments. I'm just pointing out there are no easy answers and this doesn't seem anything more than a token change to me that shouldn't have needed another black guy being killed to motivate it.
