I don't doubt in certain sectors and workplaces in all of America there's been racism against blacks in 40 years. I'm sure it happened somewhere by someone. However, I am certain in the past 40 years that a white man in academia is disadvantaged compared to a similarly or even less skilled black professor or female professor.

I am a white male working in IT and have been in a government position.

Trust me if you are a white male you won't get the job. Every position is a diversity hire.

I am leaving IT as I am now over 40 and getting a job as white is hard in this field.

See it everyday as a service member stationed outside DC. My whole building is full of "other than white" civilian federal employees.

You can be a black Columbia professor and do heroin while bragging about it with no stereotype attached at all. But God forbid any thing white.

"Burl had been responding to new resolutions which say that the university 'explicitly and loudly denounces white supremacy, anti-blackness, systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, and other oppressive and intolerant behaviors, actions, and speech'."

That list is growing by the minute.
