What really is the purpose of this rant?
Here is a clever black woman who has never been stopped at any corner,
complaining about not fitting in.  We are many- black, white, what not-
who have never fitted into the corporate world either.  What is smart to
do at such an impasse is to take stock of one's values and goals and act
accordingly.  It always takes two to tango, and this is a very one sided 
facts-lacking  view of a situation.  It's the fault of the whites!  As her up-
bringing clearly stresses her blackness  maybe one should not fault her
entirely.  But since her whole life in Canada has been a walk from one
success to another it's a little hard to feel much empathy.  A bit of intro-
spection is clearly called for.
