The Lost Lesson: White Privilege QUIT PLAYIN’

By Vincent L. Hall

I thank my mother and my family daily, for making and molding me into the gentleman that I am known to be. They took the time to teach me, reach me and beat me until I understood that chivalry and common courtesy are the most important tools necessary to create and sustain respectful relationships.

I cannot tell you how many elevators I’ve missed because there were women present who were rightly allowed aboard before me. It is difficult for me to walk past anyone, anywhere without gaining eye contact and offering my salutations. Mama said if you didn’t sleep with them you have to speak to them.

Each of my grandmothers was sticklers for charm and chivalry and developed some rigor in me that isn’t widespread in America anymore. I, and my brothers, couldn’t whistle in the house.

I don’t know why, but we couldn’t. If we as young men were standing, facing a woman who was sitting, we had to ensure that she was not staring into our crotch. That sounds extreme, but you would be surprised to know how often that law is violated, and found offensive.

Flatulence or any noise that would signal the same was a prosecutable offense; punishable by lashes; belt, tongue or both. These stringent idiosyncrasies and rules made us ready for prime time.

I will never forget when I sat down to my first political banquet, where I met vice-presidential candidate; Geraldine

12

Ferraro. I was dressed like the King of Scotland, poised and perfect at every turn. When the first course was served a panic overtook me like a virus. I had forgotten whether to assume the utensils on my left or on my right. Just at that moment, my grandmother, Portia Maudesta English Figures, caught the collar of my conscious mind.

Grandmother Figures’ 30-year-old words had resonance and reason. All I

could remember her saying was “Boy when you don’t know what to do, don’t do nothing until you see someone who knows what they are doing make a move.”

It worked.

Grandmother Figures was the most proper and saintly woman I’ve ever known. She could advise Ann Landers on how to give advice. The counsel she

gave me was a paraphrase of biblical scripture; “When thou sittest to eat with a ruler consider diligently what is before thee.”

My paternal grandfather who was always irascible and ready to fight made his points to me through an inverse perspective. Ed Hall said; “It’s nice to be nice, but when you can’t; kick ‘em in the ass.”

Which meant…be a gentleman for as long as it’s feasible, but don’t be no fool.

They all taught me that facing stereotypes and misperceptions through the eyes of racists are inevitable and commonplace. There are some who will see you as an ogre until you prove otherwise. However, if you manage yourself politely and politically, you will earn a proper portion of dignity and respect.

My parents and grandparents, like most “middle class” Black folks of my era, insisted that we were mannerable to a fault. We were trained that we had to be good enough to please God almighty to get into heaven, and twice better than our White peers to succeed in work or business.

My whole life has been immersed in the idea of being respectful, thoughtful and empathetic. So I know my Grandparents are looking down on me in disappointment. I have broken every rule of etiquette and refinement since the wee hours of Wednesday November 9, 2016.

Thanks to my family I can navigate any social situation. They were never specific about White Privilege, but Donald Trump has shown me more than they ever could have known.

One of the things that people

My Day

are talking about is the Regional Black Contractors Association (RBCA).

In addition, one of the things that people are tweeting about is the RBCA’s bold and beautiful Board of Directors, measuring their determination, growth and partnering every step of the

RBCA: Way Forward way. From an inside look, the RBCA has clenched trust, fame and respectability, with leading global corporations in tow.

On board from infancy was a mentoring icon. H.J. Russell Construction is one of the largest black owned and most recognizable construction companies in America. H. J. Russell was a key player in building several renown structures including the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. What makes these projects even more meaningful is that H. J. Russell employed black contractors to complete the mission.

The RBCA started with a dream, momentum and a strat-

egist location, a truly intuitive move to an address on Martin Luther King Blvd., so the world would be fully aware of ‘who we are’.

The RBCA board consist of a dedicated team of “Dallas makers” with a set goal to decrease crime, wipe out the high unemployment rate and stabilize the community.

Being cognizant of the high percentage of black men incarcerated in the greatest nation on earth, most important on the radar was a way to put ex-offenders to work beyond a pilot program.

Once in a lifetime you will possibly witness a mecca construction makeover of a major United States city. It is affectionately called many things.

A historic opportunity, turning challenges into opportunities, keeping pace with the rapidly changing business climate, setting industry benchmarks, an era where you can literally ‘bring your dreams’.

But at the top-of-the list is coalition building with college interns on deck. Without inclusion and fair play there is definitely chaos personified.

Let’s briefly share some of the coalition building. For the first time in history RBCA black engineers, EJES, Inc., are building a freeway. Webber Construction, a strong supporter and member, wholeheartedly joins the RBCA in their quest to hire black contractors and ex-offenders on the upcoming S.M. Wright US175 Freeway.

Webber Construction has provided scholarships for youth in South Dallas and has set a high standard with other essential community programs.

An alliance now co-exist with the black community and prime

contractor through a Texas Live and Texas Ranger partnership on the new stadium.

Gerald Alley, principal with Con Real, a general contractor is honorably mentioned by the RBCA. Mr. Alley has personally raised the bar and the ability to hire, i.e., hauling, demolition and janitorial.

Con Real has demonstrated commitment of a higher calling and more general contractors will certainly start to emulate his style. To round out the coalition building by the RBCA, we mention Dallas ISD, where the previously incarcerated is already at work on construction sites, State Fair of Texas, Fort Worth SubCounty Courthouse and the massive International Inland Port, which is a story all by itself.

The RBCA has another side. . . that of giving back to the communities they work in. Their brand is part of the X-Offender Program in South Dallas partnering with the Community Development Project. Ask about individuals with felonies. The RBCA have answers to make you smile. This year they hosted the 14th Annual CLASSIC Golf Tournament. The home repair for senior citizens and disabled veterans is a high profile community act especially for inner city residents.

And with seniors living longer in their own homes this act of kindness is near genius, because it is a pure promotion of RBCA’s image in addition to increasing public interest.

Follow the moves of the RBCA online(www.regional-bca.org) or drop by for a good cup of coffee.

Dear Alma, Around six months ago, I started to see clues that something was going on with my husband.

I started going through his wallet and cell phone because I thought he was having an affair. I was right. I almost fainted when I found a phone in the trunk of the car with pictures of him and another woman. All of the calls were to the same number, which made me believe it was her number. I

hit the button and she answered the phone. When she said hello, I hung up. I put the phone back and didn’t tell him. I love him and am trying to keep my marriage.

He hasn’t said anything about my

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste and a wonderful thing to invest in!
