How you feel about the past, is somewhat dependent upon what that past is. *Your past. Indeed. And in this case the royal ‘your’. Sometimes people really do struggle to think beyond their own existence. Always astounds me

I’m actually all for correcting glass ceilings, and FWIW, the black people I’ve heard who experience glass ceilings say they happen more in late 20’s to early 30’s. I don’t quite understand what you’re implying at the beginning. Knuckling down and being on the straight and narrow is for or shouldn’t be for young black people? What on earth are you on about or suggesting? There’s a different path or system for one race? Life is pretty simple. You go to school, you go to work, you procreate and die. You might travel or have a very good social life. Not sure what you’re suggesting should be expected. Life of a footballer? Everyone mess about for years deluding themselves they’ll earn millions as rap artist, only to find job opportunities are not what they could have been. Everyone’s life is pretty mundane apart from a few. You seem to think otherwise. What I’m saying is you seem to think that ‘work hard and just get on with it’ trumps everything. For everyone. Not matter what situation. This. This is ‘bollox’

This is ‘bollox’ Or just say feck it and don’t bother so you never find or narrow down the opportunities you could come across. No matter what situation? So some situations mean you don’t try your best? This is new social studies we must learn.

This is new social studies we must learn. Ha. No. Come on now. You’re being very plain, and binary in fact - work hard, do well. There’s no room for reality or nuance in that statement. Including the very things you threw in to cover off like a checklist, unconscious bias being one. You’re effectively saying work hard and knuckle down transcends all barriers, discriminatory or otherwise. This is, to repeat, overly simplistic ‘bollox’ Yeah you might end up with a steady job and a hassle free life. But what if you did something to start to help remove some of those barriers that prevented that pay rise. Or removed that particular opportunity. Nah. Just head down and take what you can get Like something out of 1984

Just head down and take what you can get Like something out of 1984 There's some truth to this I'd say. Whoever you are, if you've legitimately come up against unjust obstacles, it is in a way your obligation to highlight and try to move them for others. And it's not really for someone else not in your shoes to tell you that such obstacles don't exist. Edited by BlueJay (14 Jun 2020 12.47am)
