I introduced myself as an attorney that works on the 3rd floor of the building. Simultaneously again, they sized me up, casting doubtful glances at me. A young black woman is not supposed to have a brain, and isn’t expected to study law and become an attorney, huh? I demanded again to be allowed access into the building and they declined. They insisted that someone from the Law Office must come down to identify me. My colleague, a Chinese attorney, also a newbie like me walked in a few minutes later. No one asked her any questions. No requests for ID-cards, or for fob keys, or enquiry about her mission to the building and all the annoying questions that were slammed at me. There was no request for someone to come down and identify her. We both started working at the Law Office exactly the same day. For both of us, that was the true taste of American equality – seeing how the society treats people of different colours unequally equal! victoriaohaeri.wordpress/2015/01/06/a-bland-taste-of-american-equality/
