Diary of a Mad Black Woman: WSO style...

So, I typically wouldn't share a PM from somebody with the rest of the WSO community, but the fact is I had very little respect for love.live.life before I read her PM and now have zero.

love.live.life, we get it, you are an angry black woman in a white man's world, I'm not sorry because I had nothing to do with it. I also won't apologize for having the innate human ability of deductive reasoning and association, for without those, none of us would be here.

Anyways, here is what the exalted, BB offer in hand, target school princess had to say. As you will see, she will go far in life.

love.live.life:
So I just wanted to PM you instead of going on and on about race in whatever the next "Black people are savage" thread is. You seem pretty unashamed to be racist. Its all good though :) I showed the Latest McDonald's Beatdown thread to a friend who is White (I go to a predominantly White Institution). he said, "Chanequa (LOL), is this really relevant? Does this change the course of your life at all?"...and, you know what? he's right. At the end of the day, no matter what I write, you will still be racist, and I will still be proud to be a Black woman.

That being said, the real purpose of my message is to say the following:
I have an analyst job at a BB (summered there and got the full time offer). You probably think its because I'm black lol. I'm probably going to a top 5 business school (because I'm Black lol). And when I'm making six figure NOT counting total comp, you can kiss my black ass. Now, monkey shit on that, and eat aaaalll of that shit.

Well, you have a Blessed Sunday. Happy Easter :)

oh, Regards! :)

So to address some of the accusations, I'll simply start with: I really don't think I'm racist. If l3 or anyone else believes so, please find my posts which prove this...don't just make empty, inflammatory accusations.

I'm glad that you have a white friend and go to a predominantly white institution, unfortunately that doesn't mean you don't harbor feelings of hatred or anger towards my race and it doesn't absolve you from being guilt of the same, or similar, things that you have accused many on this forum of.

You strike me as far more insecure than you do 'proud'...but whatever gets you through the day and keeps you motivated.

As for whether you got your offer because you are black...I never cared enough to give it any thought. I don't know if you are some sort of affirmative action hire but one thing I do know is you didn't get that offer because of your sunny disposition.

Sadly you, nor anyone else on this forum actually know me or who I am or anything of the sort. Suffice it to say, I would bet good money that my immediate family is more diverse than your study group at your target university.

I do want to thank you for reaching out because you've done more damage to your own reputation than I ever could have. Of course, the best part about your PM is the last part where you managed to reveal your true colors.

Oh yeah...

Regards

 

For the record, I've never throw any monkey shit at you, however deserving you may be.

Regards

There should be no place for racism and hating on WSO since we all have the same goals..like were adults and should be able to move past judging on the merit of race

I will say, cphbravo96, your non-race related comments and posts are very informative. That said, as a black person who spends 99% of his time with white banker types, this isn't necessary. The girl is just a little in denial about what it means to be a minority.

However, I know that none of you would ever talk the way you do on anonymous message boards in person, or admit that you like to chirp black people. Whatever. Point is, live.love.laugh should know the internet is where people of all races and genders vent their racist/sexist/homophobic personal schemata. I do it for my personal prejudices, and white people do it for theirs. If she's gotten to the point of being an analyst and 23-24 years growing up in the US, she should know that white people still harbor resentment towards others, just like I may have a problem with Ukrainians or people who like to dress up like teddy bears and fuck (random examples).

Taking the time to write a post ranting about some poor sheltered black girl who doesn't get it, when you're (presumably) a PE executive, is a little bit sad, I must say.

The only reason I did it was to show the rest of the community who she really is. I didn't post this as a rant, after all she has to live with herself. The point was, don't PM taking cheap shots at my character and provide no proof.

The problem I have with L3 is that she is more of a problem than a solution. The black race, or any race for that matter, is best served if they have people that they do/may associate with correct there actions. If I, as a white person, tell a black person that their behavior is unacceptable or barbaric, I am instantly labeled as a racist and ignored. If someone like blackfinancier steps up and says something, it's certainly possible he might be labeled an Uncle Tom, but it's also possible that someone might take his advice because they see what's he has accomplished (or will) and accept his criticism. Instead L3 would much rather make excuses and detract from the fact that the behavior in question is unacceptable and has no place in a civilized society.

Haha I have no problem with Ukrainians. I have alot of prejudices but I didn't want to write down real ones because that would start a whole new shitstorm.

Her sending him a pm consisting of her talking about her successful future life is also pretty sad.

Oh agreed, but BSDs shouldn't even worry about little insecure analysts anyways. Espesh on the internet.

lol you made a post about it. cute :)

and this is how mulatto children are made in the 21st century

Haven't heard the term 'Mulatto' in a while. I think mixed / mulatto kids are the cutest though. Especially those mixed with Asian (Black and Asian, White and Asian)...but that's a side note.

Haha, people actually used to think I was a 'red bone', lol. In fact, one day after being asked if I was black I asked the lady why she thought I was and she said, "Because you have nappy hair". Talk about some racist shit...though she was black and therefor not capable of being racist. LOL.

Lol this is prob gonna cause another race debate. To the OP, yea you can still kiss my black ass lol.

As far as Independent Gestion's point about me being sheltered, yea I guess I am extremely sheltered. Though I've always been in predominantly White schools and most of my friends are White, I've never openly experienced the amount of racism that is present of this board. It actually shocked me to see that so many people in finance (or who want to be in finace) would refer to Black people as "Niggers" and not want to live around Blacks just because of skin color in this day and age (refer to "Latest McDonald's Beatdown" thread). I showed the thread to my friend to get an idea of whether of not the majority of people think this way. Being that I'm going into finance, I would like to know ahead of time if I'm going to have to face a lot of discrimnation in the work place. My friends assured me that it is just internet bravado (sp), and even if people think it, they won't say it. So yea, I guess I you could say I was / am a little insecure about the idea of the posts on this board being the reality of my everyday life after school. Hopefully fingers crossed the people who I work with are more like my friends and truely not judging me because of the color of my skin, and less like what WSO members have made me feel like the finance community really is like.

I actually came on this site to get legit advice on Wall Street related things, and have gotten a lot of it. But I guess it won't happen under this user name! lol. WSO has been super duper helpful though. Great website. So I'll prob just make another name if I want legit advice. Good day folks :)

L3 has issues dude...just leave her alone

She's one of those uber liberal overly PC types...not worth your time

Trust me, I didn't seek her out. That was a random PM she sent me. Oddly I'm still not sure why she singled me out because, again, I don't think I said anything overtly racist.

wannabeaballer:
I gotta ask - when she claims she's proud to be a black woman, what does that mean? I mean, in this day and age, is anyone really proud of their skin color and gender?

I don't know, but it sounds rather racist to me, lol.

Racism is fucking everywhere. Dunno what kind of ideal world people are trying to live in but people will keep on hating on other people because of skin color, race, religion, etc.

If you can't tell I'm brown. Have you seen a brown person in an east asian (i.e. Korea, Japan, China) country? We stick out like a whore in a church. That doesn't mean people openly say shit to me. They say shit behind my back and do things like not sitting next to me in the train (not all brown people smell like curry, only most) because they're not fully comfortable with foreign agents. And fucking A the rest of the world is the exact same way so goddamn deal with it. Shit like this isn't exclusive to finance and I fucking hate it when someone thinks they're the victim of everything because of their race.

Grow the fuck up and let people know what's up with what your actions.

the color of my skin (brown) allows me to take up this post space. Other than that, I have nothing to contribute to this thread, i'm just here for the lulz

you know she got all of that because she was black

if you dont think its much easier for them you're lying to yourself

Yes massa. Whatever you say massa.

Does it help you hate yourself less when you say ignorant shit on the internet?... do you get a stiffy from it?

Fact is we'll never know whether she got it based on race or not, and it's a moot point anyways because IB recruiting is a shitshow and any small thing could push her over the edge for getting hired, including race.
