So she’s calling herself the whitest black person technically since she’s a google employee lol

Google has tons of employees in non technical roles as well as other tech companies
to be clear what i'm talking about is
being indoctrinated/brainwashed into looking down on ppl that look like you and believing that you have to be like stereotypes (based off of nothing but the suppression of everyone else) of "someone else" in order to succeed in life and
the creation of...everything to support that you basically do have to shuck and jive in order to succeed within corporate America.
THEN them pitting both groups of ppl against each other as they sit and watch/go on about their business/check a box of inclusion OR while someone of that group might not openly block someone else from succeeding they somehow become the example of how to be in order to succeed.
its disgusting and shouldn't be a thing but it is def a thing and there is no foreseeable end.
You know them when u see them. I've met brothers that spoke proper but still didn't come off "white". Its not about vernacular because TI is far from acting white.Significant progress, but there is still room to grow.
The "whitest black candidates" is inherently racist sounds like self hatred.
Please define "acting white". Do they use proper grammar and syntax?
My question would be how many of us are actually working in IT or even stem jobs for that matter. My guess would be not very many and those that do I don’t expect necessarily be what she’s trying to describe.
Acting American in many ways is acting white...whether we like it or want to admit it or not. Easy to see as we see the president trying everything in his power to "make America great again" which has translated into making sure immigrants from perceived non white countries cant get in and those already in get pushed out.
Also easy to see as you compare any of us to our African counterparts. We all sound European, have European names, a certain mindset, etc.
I'm not sugar coating anything. I'm just going to speak from the heart and be honest.
White ppl created this country and they run this country And they dictate what it means to be an American. Them and nobody else dictates it. You cant reclaim something you've never had and something you didnt create in the first place AND something they won't actually include you in 100%.
white ppl have dicated what it means to be an American and who is or isn't truly American. they have allowed groups of ppl into their circle and have shunned others. the umbrella of whiteness has increased and the umbrella of who is considered American and allowed to truly assimilate has increased.But what is acting American and what is acting white? There’s a definitive line between being articulate in your own craft and being dubbed a cornball white. We don’t know this guy, and only know him by her perspective.
its bigger than that but sure, institutions deserve some of the blame.For the big tech companies, it is a top recruiting game. But they shouldn’t be the ones to blame, it’s the institutions not providing a leveled playing field for those seeking higher learning.
many of which come from countries that have had a bad shake based on colonization and/or them being destabilized by the west...Add to the international students who come to seek American learning.
that's both not how white supremacy works and is exactly how white supremacy works.The education system is more of a problem, but it’s up to the individual to show how hard they want to achieve their own goal.
tech bros/sis that still think they are in greek life
So Ben Carson doesn’t fit into this???So disheartening when blacks label each other as cornball brothers or "acting white".

American culture is based off of European culture and the oppression and suppression of various groups of ppl but mostly black ppl. American culture is built off of the backs of the enslaved and the robbed, the raped, etc. and its European in origin.
when most ppl, white or not, think about what an American looks or sounds like, historically they think of a white person. the fact that ppl still say "oh, that girl over there." "no next to the black dude" says a lot. we can't just be American. we have to be *insert race first* whereas white ppl are the default. its in the imagery, its in the literature. its in what becomes curriculum for schools and what is left out and why. its at every level.
anything black ppl have done that's positive that's considered part of American culture comes out of struggle, oppression, etc. and adapting to it and making a way.
now as far as being articulate or educated; i'm both. i'm articulate in a language not native to my ppl and i'm educated in their schools based off of what I've learned from their curriculum.
as far as cornballs, think of larry elder, Candace owens, etc. those types.
its bigger than that but sure, institutions deserve some of the blame.

Not according to him. He is Christian first, American second, with being Black bringing up the rear.He's still just as black as you.
You may not like how he carries himself or his political views, but he's black.
Not white/black or acting white.

“There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships,” he said. “They too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.”
