Quick story. I was facilitating a session and a WW stayed back to process. She wanted to grapple with "reverse racism" she said her father experienced when she was a child. He applied for a job, but was told that although he was qualified, the job had to go up a Black person. 1/
I didn& #39;t think to ask this fast enough, but I& #39;m assuming the hiring person was W because it was back in the day and only a handful of BIPOC people, like Daniel Cameron, would even say something like that. 2/
A few questions that I want us to consider before bringing something like this up for dinner discussion.
What would be the purpose of a W hiring manager sharing that with another W person?
What does that comment say about how the W hiring manager feels about Black ppl?

What could the W person who didn& #39;t get hired now think about Black people?
Who becomes the scapegoat and for what reason?
What would it be like for a Black person (assuredly equally qualified) who eventually gets that job? How long do they stay?
