My experience with micro-aggression was with a previous boss. I interview for a position as a center director at a center on probation. During the interview the boss told me about the previous director, a black woman. She told me how her attitude wasn’t the best and when she left the preschool, she took everything she created, paperwork, menus, schedules, etc. This left the owner in a bad situation causing her not to meet state minimum standards, resulting in the center getting put on probation. Her experience with that previous director made her make the remark that she wasn’t going to hire someone like the previous director because of how their relationship ended, meaning she wasn’t going to hire another black woman. Her experience with the previous director turned her into a stereotypical person, thinking all black women shared the previous director’s mannerism. My previous boss micro-aggression was intentional. I really didn’t think anything about her remark because I feel deep down people are racist in some manner.
In dealing with her, her demeanor was total opposite. In thinking about this situation I thought about one of Dr. Sue’s social psychological factors associated with micro-aggressions, well intentioned individuals who are unaware of their racial biases. My previous boss was intentional in what she said but I don’t think she realized what that kind of statement would mean to another black woman.

Latoya,
Sorry that you had to endure someone else’s issue, but still gave no right to the interviewer to see you ion the same light. Everyone deserves a fair chance, but in the same token the interviewer was going to tell what they wanted you to know. Who is it to say that the interviewer did not tell the previous Director, “Take your things and leave!” That would explain why those important items for a center would not be there. I liked the transparency of your blog.
