Racist videoed treating people differently

So, it’s ok to treat others differently depending on their positions? Hmmmm
Absolutely. And not even their position. If you have a veteran star player who averages 25 points/game, 7 assists/game, 5 rebounds/game, and then you have a rookie who averages two minutes of playing per game, you don't treat them the same if the former doesn't show up to voluntary shoot-arounds.
The same applies in business, as well, and not just sports.
There are fewer things more terrifying than the uncertainty those older whites were going through trying to guess how they were supposed to shake Obama’s hand. I’m actually gonna give Obama credit on this one - he could have embarrassed the hell out of them
Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you. Let’s say the same 2 people are applying to med school. The one with the best qualifications and highest scores should be chosen, correct? Let’s relate that to business since you brought it up. The best qualified should always be treated better, correct?
No, not correct at all.
I'll give you both an athletic analogy. If you Venmo me, I can give you a business analogy to help your career:
Baseball prospect #1: 6'4, 240 lbs. of muscle; he was 18 years old his entire senior year of high school; played high-level travel baseball every summer as well as his high school ball; has had private, high-level personal baseball training since he was eight years old.
As a senior in high school, he hit .480 with eight HRs, throws 92 mph off of the mound, and runs a 4.0 from home to first.
Baseball prospect #2: 6'3, 180 lbs.; he was 16 years old the first two months of his senior year; played high school ball each year but had to work in the summers to help his single-parent mother raise his three younger siblings, so he never could play (nor afford) travel ball; has never had private training let alone go to a baseball camp.
As a senior in high school, he hit .430 with five HRs, throws 89 mph off the mound, and runs a 4.0 from home to first.
Even though prospect #2 is smaller, has less production, lower measurables, and has lower "qualifications/scores," I am drafting him over prospect #1. Why would I do that since his qualifications and scores are all lower? Many reasons:
1) He is 1.5 years less physically matured due to age, so he has significant growth potential.
2) He hasn't had much coaching/time playing. Prospect #1 has been working at this his entire life and is already close to his ceiling. On the other hand, prospect #2 is very raw with a much bigger ceiling.
3) #2 already is pretty close to #1's production even though #2 has had far less resources. Imagine if they were both given the same resources/opportunities.
Totally agree with this.
Hell, I don't greet Midwesterners the same as I do Appalachians and southern rednecks. There's differences in the culture. Most Midwesterners are far more reserved and quiet.
I do the black handshake and greetings with the blacks...
You do the handshake which is hand clasp similar to when you arm wrestle and then the shoulder bump thing.
It is not hard. One of my sons good friends at military school was black and they roomed together also. We went to a black family gathering in Alabama.
I do now with thr black guys. It is a sign of brotherhood.

I was with Tash Sultana last night. They are a white, gender-fluid Australian, so I didn't know they used the broshake. It caught me off guard, so I had to adapt halfway through what I thought was just a normal handshake.
They? I only see a single person. Given your English lessons on here, that can’t be. “She” looks real enthused to meet you. Has anyone seen ET in a while? Maybe he’s getting his gender fluid changed?
I think they were distracted by the tour photographer who was snapping pictures through the glass. It's common when I am with artists, as their tour photographers realize who I am and know their artist will want a picture.
And it wasn't our first time really meeting. We have been talking for weeks leading up to last night. Ty Dolla $ign was wanting to join us last night but couldn't get out of his event.
