Your Comment: The mere fact that you are "by the book" is the issue. The book is not fair.
You see Bob, they picked you because you ARE "by the book"(which they know is unfair) and you either don't know is unfair or your don't care that it is.
Bob's Reply: Life isn't fair . The Benefit of "the book" is that everything is spelled out & know what to expect.
They (my employers) picked me because i'm good & driven. My friend, you don't know me from a hole in the wall, you know nothing about me and my life. You're just guessing and you're doing it very badly. You have no clue about me nor my employers.
Your comment:
2.) and that is the point Remedy was making to you initially. A lot of young black children (especially boys) aren't exposed to "blacks" on that level either.
Bob's reply : Well, wouldn't that be a result of the choices their parent(s) made. Parents decide where to raise their children and the types of people that they are likely to be exposed to. They opted to raise their children in a segregated environment.
Do you hold black parents responsible for any choices regarding their children or is it always someone else's fault ?
Your Comment:
It means that you are significantly disconnected from black people when you reference "them" like this in spite of your "black" side.
Bob's reply:
Ethnicity doesn't determine how a person thinks and their life experiences. In ways i'm connected and in other ways disconnected. There are certain things I get and other things I'll never get. I have never said the blacks were bad or that they were somehow less than others, they are just different ( some of them, not all). The Sub-culture that many of the blacks subscribe to is just very different from mainstream American culture [i'm not going to go into it because it's not important]. Let's just say that this sub-culture disconnects many of them from our American society. You should be far more concerned about them being disconnected from everyone else.
As a black man, you're not exactly in a position to down inter-ethnic couples and their offspring, or any other type of family. The blacks children tend to be more confused more than anyone. At least I have a family. At least I have an actual community.
The confusion seems to be on your end. You might not like my opinions and you might not relate to me, but I have no confusion in this case. I'm very in touch who and what i am as a person.
"...anyway Bobby, you have proved yourself to be AN example of what CAN happen with the children born to IR couples.
KONFUSION!!!"
-- wait up kap....
ironically this is what u and even Kap could mean and DB won't called this BW out i bet. the black ppl who have no interest in black engineers/role models r latin american blacks. research this BW who is haitian, poor immigrant parents, moved to utah from NYC brooklyn, republican/right-wing, married to WM and worst of all MORMON (a church who still hates non-whites just keep it on low). her name is MIA LOVE she is running for congress, was a mayor too. i wonder who her 3 kids will look up to in a nearly all white town. bet Mia will deny any racism too or keep it on the low. all the haitian population in brooklyn who r tight nit families she couldn't find a good haitian dude to marry. basically A-bob its a double standard in legacy, all men & all women pass on legacy (yes women too) except for BW.
back to the video: most engineers r white globally. they r all in 3rd world too, WM built the artificial islands & 7 star sailors hotel in Qatar or UAE and the malay twin towers. many 3rd world nation still got infrastructure from end of their colonialism. the only non whites r japan and china. the WM doesn't hire nor teach many other ppl as engineers so the fact he can have a monopoly on this trade.
I see some of comments have diverged a bit off topic. I hope we put aside our differences long enough to see our similarities. I've worked on the 2nd Ave. Subway Project as a Rail Systems Integration Engineer for the Consulting Firm STV Inc. I've done Consulting work for over ten years working on Rail Projects in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, Dallas and Orlando. I love Engineering work because it literally translates ideas (politicians, city officials, corporate stakeholders) into plans (Planners), plans into design (Engineers), and designs into construction (Contractors) and construction into a finished product (for our use). If you love that process then Engineering is for you. Okay now for the bad, as would be expected there are not a lot of Black Faces in Consulting, Blacks and minorities work mainly for Public Agencies (eg. MTA) or they work for DBE companies. What I'm saying is that if you work for a big Engineering Consulting Company be prepared to be one of the only black faces. Now personally I have encountered personal racism and have had all kind of all the wall things said to me but it has come more out of not knowing and ignorance than anything else. Relatively speaking I think on a personal level white Engineers are less racist because of how their mind works. On a professional level its a whole different story, people have literally tried to keep information away from me and when I cornered them about it they basically let me know I was a threat to them. Certain people are chosen, mentored and groomed for higher management positions. The only way to usurp that is to be prepared to go back to school because plain and simple the consulting company sells you to the client based on that. I saved my money so when lay-off came one in 2004 I went and got a Masters Degree in Transportation Planning and now last year lay-off I am enrolled in an MBA program. Those times on the shelf while lean can help you refocus and help you reintroduce yourself to the company with a new title and a corner office. One last thing the saying in consulting goes NEVER MAKE ENEMIES BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOUR BOSS IS GOING TO BE. In my 10 years in the industry I've seen it play out a few times. One minute one guy is boss; next few years the underling is boss. So if you%u2019re the temperamental or moody type you might have to check that at the door. For all who are considering it don't be intimated by the challenge anything worth having is worth fighting for as long as you have your mind right going in. So get your mind right and go build something.
"Some people actually criticize me for being somewhat cold professionally but i find that's the best way to operate. I'm by the book and i'm fair."
Kap's response
The mere fact that you are "by the book" is the issue. The book is not fair.
You see Bob, they picked you because you ARE "by the book"(which they know is unfair) and you either don't know is unfair or your don't care that it is.
next one
"You'll have to forgive me, I don't read DivineBrown's posts, she's a troll."
Kap's response
No..I don't have to forgive you. You are the one that said it, Not Divine.
"the blacks"
"those people"
It means that you are significantly disconnected from black people when you reference "them" like this in spite of your "black" side.
the other one...
"That's because most whites and Asians aren't exposed to many blacks on that level."
Kap's response
1.) that proves my point regardless of the reasoning.
2.) and that is the point Remedy was making to you initially. A lot of young black children (especially boys) aren't exposed to "blacks" on that level either.
...anyway Bobby, you have proved yourself to be AN example of what CAN happen with the children born to IR couples.
shah's of sunset is the name of the reality show, GG is skinny but hot. quincy jones grandson is mr. bunny lt brown curly hair and grey/green eyes still looks a bit black. lots of Southern whites, up to ~40%, got some in them that's their secret (Melungeon).
euro Meds especially southern Italians didn't forget their black ancestry, most r like octoroon-ish looking, fuller lips, talk loud, tan their skin, big booty women, still have some of their Moor culture. even the more recessive italians like hulk hogan know they got soul. many try to keep it on the low. so in reality the "black" won't die off.
I got ya troll right here, Pencil dick. You not only READ what I write but EVERY word. Typing that you don't, is talking to me without addressing me. I know you see this, baby dick.
Got your nerves talking about trolls when you have multiple accounts and a couple of them you COPPED to!!!!
And, notice his, "It sad blacks can only learn from other blacks", "I guess y'all need affirmative action in learning too", "Blacks have low self esteem and syke themselves outta jobs before giving it the old college try" etc. Ol' patronizing ass. Just like a white person. Condescending to the core.
Then you gotta ask yourself. For someone who doesn't "see color", is bi-racial, doesn't care about nor believe in the so-called black community and won't reach back, only date the women who's open to his bitchboy looking ass(white)...WHY IS HE HERE??? Why is this OUTCAST here acting as an INTERLOPER????
Straight up sad AND P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C. one would put themselves in a position of being full black just to act like he's "turning down" his perceived counterpart(black women) only to come back and proclaim he's bi-racial when he wishes to disassociate himself from black people in general.
But this is just another sad display of how ridiculous full black men are. They'll take advice from and allow anyone in rather than stay on guard just as long as that person is seemingly shitting on black women.
