Middle management? You think that's a promotion??


If you make more money than you were previously making, and have a better job title than you previously did, but did not change employers...what word would you use to describe that scenario?

Blacks and their supporters did the BLM movement as a shout of desperation, anger and despair over the seeming inability of blacks to achieve equality and be viewed as equals culturally by non-blacks.

???????
I'm a BLM supporter
Its all about a black life matters when interacting with the police.
Has absolutely nothing to do with equality
Its all about some cops that are obviously racist and take things so far violently that the People are speaking out
Thats it
BLM is not the NAACP, not even close

Weren't there many arguments about no black quarterbacks some years back?

Some years back? I don't recall those arguments having been resolved to the satisfaction of all pundits:

Absolutely
I remember those years
It was absurd and sad
Many years some of the best QB's in the country were playing other positions in the NFL
Very frustrating we did not get to see some great QB's

Your fascination with skin color is amazing.


Your seeming inability to recognize that there are differences in skin color and that these differences lead to systemic racism is amazing.

There is not systematic racism. Well, against whites and Asians at the better colleges. Most of the problems of black society are self-inflicted. Notice that latinos are moving up just fine. Same as Asians. Same as blacks who come from Africa.

Smart people do not want to go into middle management. Just a bunch of stress.

May whatever power that be help us if every single person in middle management is dumber than the people making less than they do.

Is it worse to work under someone rather dumb or insane? I find it a tossup.
