I have a son. He's a sophmore in college. This may he'll be home for the summer hiatus. Last year he worked for an investment banking company doing security. He told me at times his job can be dehumanizing because so many of the black men and women don't give him the time of day, even when he says good morning.
He realized that many black professionals automatically assume, by virtue of the fact that he does security he had no ambition. That black men that do this kind of work are an embarrasment to the community. All of this pre-judging without knowing him as a young black man.
So my question is, do we thumb our nose at each other in corporate america, based on our "position"?
BTW my Son is majoring in Physics! Go Djehuti
