In a previous life? What is this, the twilight zone?

You need to think about the employers needs, of course they would want
someone who is the best qualified and reliable person for their business and
someone who has the best ability to do the job. 
There is too much focus how things used to be and it is often a hindrance and
not within the reality of today.

One of the reasons they could be treated differently is because they have
seen how this plays out time and time again, so of course they would be on
the offensive side, if black folks were smart they would realize this and be
nothing but respectful.

That is total bunch of liberal BS, if this was the case you would be
seeing much more (like 100x) of the havoc you are seeing now.
