“You mean you never wondered if an African American professional you meet is truely qualified, or got the job only via affirmative action?” – if they are demonstrating lack of skills or professionalism, why not? The same is true for any person. Additionally, affirmative action (designed to help minorities) actually hurts them in this regard, because they are truly unqualified in some cases, yet granted admittance to university, and hired just because of their color (actual racism) and not because of their skills.
“You mean you never got nervous seeing a group of young, poor dressed, African American males walking towards you on a dark, uncrowded street?” Who wouldn’t? Do surveillance cameras generally show these people behaving properly? Do you usually see people in suits robbing and murdering people on the street in dark alleys? No. Google Don Lemon’s (CNN) rant against black people from 2013 – if anyone said that today, they would be deplatformed instantly.
“Did you ever feel uncomfortable traveling or shopping in an predominantly African American neighborhood?” – Our brains are trained to recognize patterns. Unfortunately an inordinate percentage of crime is committed by black people. They represent 13% of the population, yet commit 51% of all murders. Our brains take this shortcut in every case. Even with our own people.
