White Men Can't Help It -- FUCK!


Birth of Fade Nigga Nation

In the May 15, 2006 issue of BusinessWeek, there is an article with the same name as this post. It talks about a legal theory that being used quite a bit to win class action discrimination law suits around the country. The theory is called "Unconscious Bias" -- and it basically states that white men are prone to diss women and minorities because the culture, their family and everything else has conditioned (and continues to reinforce) them to hold everyone else in damn near contempt.

So not only when it comes to who gets what promotion, raise and unsaid employment benefit, Unconscious Bias can also be applied to why niggas get treated like they're unwanted stepchilds.

The guy behind the whole thing - a white guy mind you - is University of Pennsylvania Sociology Professor William T. Beibly. i want to buy this can a case of the best scotch I can afford.

I don't think Beibly is suffering from white guilt or anything like that, I think that he's uncovered a mindset and given it qualitative (and perhaps quantitative) evidence, so we people of color can understand the rapacious nature of white men.

After reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman, the true nature of white men and the business empires the serve, work in or run -- it's becoming more and more clear just how bad any body born after 1980 is going to have it over the next 20 to 30 years.

What say you?! Read the article though. It's quite interesting.
