3. I know I wasn't 'posed to ...

But I read the OP! (I know ... I know ... just proves the "untrustworthy"/"Just won't do right" point).

That said, I wish the author had said that the fear they have of retribution is unlikely to occur. Think about it ... There are plenty of examples of Black folks being in charge and very few instances of retribution. Oprah's staff is diverse and even has white folk shot callers; yet there have been few, if any, claims of "reverse discrimination."

Even in the case of Altanta, where it was proven that the police chief used race-based criteria for promotions, white folks still comprised a majority of the Atlanta PD command staff.

Face it ... There will be no (or very little "pay-back" ... Life will go on, for you and for me; though without certain certainties.
