Question: Amazing. You said blacks can’t be racist towards whites in the USA. What would you call the attacks on the white girls in California by a group of blacks recently? What about areas, like cities, where blacks predominate? Can the powers that be, the blacks in this case, be racist? And if race is based on hierarchy in the U.S. as you said, it is assumed you meant whites were at the top. Is this not a racist statement?

Question: Call me whatever you like, but please elaborate on how slavery DIRECTLY benefits me today.

Question: How can giving black contractors less than 2 percent of construction contracts be reverse discrimination?

Question: Why do white people make racist jokes about other cultures in front of blacks and expect us to go along with it when we know they make jokes about us when we leave the room?

Question: Have you found it difficult to communicate the business case for diversity in non-traditional industries like healthcare where the customer’s choice is directed by an insurance agency versus his/her preference? And, does it make sense to look at the business case from a cost-savings perspective versus profit?

Question: First of all, the term “white” is subjective. You are obviously of Italian heritage and I really consider Italians to be “Latinos” or Hispanic except they don’t speak Spanish. Who coins the ethnic lexicon of terms for the vast ethnicity description that eventually finds its way into our American lexicon description on race and ethnicity?

Question: Although I find the title of your blog amusing, I have to wonder … having a blog called “Ask the White Guy” perpetuates the notion that in order to get a “good” or “correct” answer, one should always seek assistance from “the white man.” Did you think about this when you created this blog?

Question: Why is it still so tough to break the glass ceiling and move up in a company even when totally or possibly more qualified than other candidates? Do HR managers not care to review hiring practices?

Question: Why do you think white Americans ignore their “white privilege” that is a direct result of the history of slavery in this country? For example, I often hear whites comment, “I didn’t own any slaves … so why do I owe an apology/money/etc?” I just want to scream, “Yeah, but you ALL directly benefit from it.”

Question: This is something I always wanted to ask but couldn’t because of the racial thing. What impact does an “ethnically inspired” name have on someone’s chances for employment? (i.e. Condoleezza, Oprah [obviously bad examples]).

Question: How does corporate America view African-American people with natural hair?

Question: Why do white people think that they are better than anyone else, and think that they have all the rights, and that they should be the ones to decide who gets what, when all that they have, they stole, and raped, and murdered, and enslaved to get?

Question: After the Michael Richards incident, I’d really like to know if you think all white people (and perhaps I should say all people) are racist at heart and that their true feelings are submerged by political correctness. Is that latent rage there in everyone?

Question: Wouldn’t you say that those who “play the race card” are showing themselves to be racist?

Question: Do you think white men are biased in regards to hiring white females to fill positions and meet minority hiring goals in corporations?
