My mother said to me once when I could not comprehend why I was being treated so unfairly but white male coworkers in the electrical trade no matter how hard I worked. I kept saying to her "It's so unfair. They are being so unfair to me." She replied "Sorry Baby, I never told you life was going to be fair."
