This is a very difficult one to put into words, I know what I want to say, but I know it's gonna come out scrambled!! Here goes:
You know the saying "It's a man's world", well nearly all the biggest businesses on our planet are headed by men, right? In the business world a woman is generally limited as to how much power is given to them (I'm not on about political power, but yes, Thatcher was a monster of a mistake!!) Now, in Britain (or more to the point,England) we have this thing called "the old boy network", which is to do with Public Schools ( paying schools for the incredibly posh & rich), basically the top jobs in Britain are nearly all held by ex-public schoolboys, the"I'll rub your back if you rub mine" kind of favours to get each other these positions of wealth. Now the public schools are near enough ALL white, and through the "old boy network" they sort each other out, so you can imagine how hard it is for a black man to break into their "in bred family" circle, it just wouldn't be cricket to Sir Incredibly-Posh double-barrelled surname now, would it? Positions would be discussed over a "business dinner" in an exclusive members only "Gentleman's club", and if you didn't go to the right school, you're out!!
Ever see the Eddie Murphy film, Trading Places? It might be funny, but unfortunately there is a realism to the 2 brothers' attitude!!! It's ugly head exists!!
Finally thought: If loads of people still think their saviour is white when he was meant to be born in the Middle East, what hope for success has an ORDINARY black man?
