Im literally you except in Washington state and doing my time in the Air Force side of IT. I feel you man its disgusting to see the wealth in the West Coast and black folks largely not participating in it
IT's we out here:salute:. I don't know if yall are similar to the IT's in the navy, but we had uor own space called Radio control. We usually just sat there and watched movies on watch because things rarely broke (I was on a new carrier). Also gave me a lot of time to study for my Security+ cert.

I am from California. I was in high school there when prop 209 passed. Again I don't understand why you keep bringing prop 16 up, it's not going to pass, there was no way it would pass, due to the demographics of the voters of California. If you were ACTUALLY from California, and not a transplant, you would know this:yeshrug: Black people are already a permanent underclass in California, live your life.
Nah trust me I know it's mostly Cacs and Asians out here. Like I said, it's worth a try given the state of black people in Cali. We're nearly a permanent underclass in a state that is technically the 4th largest economy in the world:ld:. That's bad:whoa:.
If you were there when 209 was passed that means you're an oldhead then :ohhh:? Were there more black people in the state back then compared to now, just curious:ohhh:.

It's because Asians hate Affirmative Action but ignore legacy admissions. Black people will call out racist shyt from everyone. Asians tend to get soft when whitey comes for them but get all vocal if they think blacks are affecting them.

Can't take them seriously.
I used to agree with you 100% but one of my asian associates gave me some insight that's making me rethink things a bit.

He basically said: We don't expect white people to ever love us or treat us 100% equally. We're just going to take whatever opportunity is within our grasp.

So, to what extent are they ignoring white racism vs. just picking their battles?

Most human beings are Asian. If this bothers you, you're gonna have a bad century. :yeshrug:

People do whatever they can to get a leg up and a lot of people don't like black people :yeshrug:

Don't know why you're shocked or arguing with them just move accordingly.

Coli.
I also don't like where this country is heading. I'm the only black person in my neighborhood and the one time I do see a black person they are either homeless or tweaking of drugs mostly because they had no opportunities in life. It's demorolizing and if shyt keeps going the way they've been going black people might become a permanent underclass in California. If you were from Cali you would know what I'm talking about:yeshrug:.
I think everyone who is black doesn't like where this country is heading right now.

I'm already going to a top public school in California. This doesn't affect me at all. I just hate being surrounded by Asians nonstop and not seeing anyone that looks like me:yeshrug:. I also currently have an intership lined up at a defense contractor company this summer:banderas:. My shyt rarely gets over looked because I'm a vet who did IT work while I was in the Navy. There's a good chance that I will end up working for the company I'm interning for since they are a defense contractor (they usually hire their interns as well).
I like how you assumed that I'm an opportunist:shaq2:.

Black ppl are done and there’s no coming back

I made a post a while back and nikkas called me a c00n while others understood where I was coming from

the company I work for has clients calling in from Miami all working at this healthcare corporation

%90 percent of the time you’re talking to someone Hispanic

we have another client that’s located in Detroit and it’s not the same in regards to Black ppl. At all

hispanics took over a whole city and Black ppl can’t even run where we got numbers

this country never wanted us to succeed and I think mentally we’ve regressed from where we were in the past

I wonder if the BLM and Black woman will save us all stuff is the last focus we’ll get before we’re pushed aside entirely

If you want me to keep it a buck, our only chance is to get jobs in sectors that pay well (like medicine and tech). Similar to how Asians have done. This allows you to get money circulating. Higher earning black people = more money flowing in our community as more people have money to open small businesses. It also means that our kinds get to grow up in safe environments. They can then study and get good jobs themselves. The problem is that we're kept out of such jobs in the first place. There's a reason why when Immigrants move here, they tell their kids : "you'll become a doctor or an engineer". I understand that ADOS are trying to get white peopl to atone for their sins by giving tangibles, but I honestly think that it will never happen. Especially since Asians and hispanics will say "what about our tangibles as well?".

Honestly.. it might be best for ADOS if AA gets tanked. The biggest beneficiaries seem to be wealthy Caribbeans and Africans and o say this as a Caribbean college grad. We need more programs to help the people at bottom who might be struggling to attend college or build wealth at all.

Sounds like you were more on the signals/comm side of the house. Air force divides their troops into comm or operations, im on the ops side but its really cysec with a heavy focus on network forensics
