Just venting, I think this is so true. Black women aren't thought of, as a "threat" in the workplace, like Black Men wrongfully are, nor, they're not as (wrongfully) intimidating.
Thoughts?

As a black male in corporate America it's about the same for both. I use to think there was a slight preference towards black females, but there really isn't. It depends on the type of work you do. In my fields they would accept a black male over a female simply due to the market being heavily male dominated.

What type of workplace are we talking about? Office environment, warehouse environment?

Black women are women, therefore why would you compare a woman's experience in the workplace to a man? It's like comparing apples to oranges. Why not compare apples to apples.. (white women, black women, asian women, etc)?

This thread is a perfect example of somebody that feels threatened by his black female co-workers. I don't see people starting threads worrying about their black male co-workers.

I see more posts by folks that are threatened by the H1B visa guys than black men or women. This thread is a first for me.

No. Large studies done by universities show discrimination is higher for educated and qualified black men in hiing than it is for black women. Keep in mind these studies don't number too highly, and are limited to specific individual states (most in the south).
