I lived in N.Y and had a job in the city while I was at N.Y.U and all I saw interms of black were mostly black women prefessionals. Out of every 20 bw you only saw like 1 bm. I believe bw could accomplish waaay more if their potential was'nt conciously or subconsiouly trying to be surpressed. Any intelligent person would know what I am talking about by that last comment. lol
Lets be honest, ANYBODY can get a MBA if you got the money... But honestly how are you serving yourself, your community or your dream with an MBA, when you're sitting at a desk doing a job that someone without a degree is performing AND making only $1000 more a year.
I said all that to say this... Working in corporate america does not = professional. When you can give someone a job, or your the master of your own income then you're a professional..
As far as "credencials" go.. (side note..i've never gotten a job for my spelling..) In the corporate world they can sometimes be a real joke! Crediencial are about what you have produced, created, & lead; not your ability to pay for some classes, complete the work and get the diploma.
I'm on the fench about your views concerning this...
I've been in "corporate america" for 15+ years, and I've learned that defining myself by my "job" or my "profession" is nothing but smoke and mirrors.
My job does not define me as a woman...the only thing it defines is my paycheck and how much i can demand for my work/services.
I've found over the years that a lot of these younger black "professional" baptize themself in the corporate foolishness. They come in being a "company man\woman.
I agree, the word "professional" is def thrown around too loosely. Some people think a desk job where they dress up makes them professional.
As far as I'm concerned, if you are not a physician, or specialized like an architect, engineer, attorney, etc, business owner, or HIGH ranking decision maker in a company, you are probably a bit delusional about your status.
It does skew our perception about the state of blk men & women. The myth is larger than life.
Yeah, these sistas go on trips to the Bahamas, Jamaica and what-have-you, and be with carribean-born black men who even MORE worst off than the black men born here in the U.S.A.... WTF!?!?
Never could understand the logic of the sista nowadays...
excellent analogy in reference to being the best player on a loosing squad... on top of that most black women hog the ball and talk shit about their teammates....
Sportscaster: "Black women: what do you think about the season and your loosing record?"
Black women: "I won those 13 games myself, my teammates lost the other 69. They aint shit."
They don't care if it's not true. Many women lie "because they can." As long as men keep practicing chivalry (go deep and think about what this really is and its implications. And, I don't mean don't be civil or polite.), this will be the case.
