Body-cam footage confirms: Police are just plain more polite to white people

26. Yes, African American experience is unique

Slavery in USA lasted a very long time. Much too long.
And let me make another point. Bias exists everywhere.
I rose from a lowly draftsman to corporate manager of computer aided engineering and manufacturing. 90% of white Americans were jealous and resentful of my promotions, mostly under the surface. Very few showed it openly. I got there by out working everybody and using the gift of intellect God gave me and my education background. Only one other individual in the outfit of 800 employees had master's degree in engineering.

Prejudice will never go away. Jealousy will never go away. The positive factor is that the higher ups in hierarchy respect productive employees. This was a privately owned outfit, and the owner himself appreciated what I was accomplishing in the company, and that mattered the most. I very much appreciate that a foreign born individual had the opportunity to succeed in this country. Believe me, my rise in the outfit would have been much faster if I was white American born in USA. But we must play the hand dealt to us. No use complaining about bias. Get a damn good education, and out work everybody around you. It does not guarantee success, but it is the best and only way to succeed here. Anything else is waste of one's potential.
