Over the past 18 months, many organizations have scrambled to affirm that they value Black lives, Black employees, and the work of anti-racism. Black employees are asked to carry immense emotional burdens that their white colleagues are not. We are asked to ignore racial “mega-threats” — negative major news stories about racial violence. We are asked to teach our white colleagues about racism and take on (often uncompensated) anti-racism labor by leading workshops, taking part in committees, or providing a “Black perspective” in meetings. We are asked to quietly bear microaggressions to avoid being seen as troublemakers. We are more scrutinized than our white colleagues. All the while, we are under-resourced, under-mentored, isolated and ignored. Perhaps this is why a recent study by Slack think tank Future Forum found that 97 percent of Black American respondents preferred a fully remote or hybrid workplace.
I cannot understate the immense burden that Black employees face in predominantly white workplaces. If organizations wish to support Black employees — a common refrain, particularly since summer 2020 — the one thing they must do is allow the flexibility that can help Black employees thrive.
So the answer is to further segregate Black employees?
I do not understand the Black community.
On one had we have Black people that have "integrated" into the "white" workplace and are such snowflakes that they are triggered to the point that they cannot handle it and would rather stay home?
On the other hand we have the Black thug that has such an attitude, such a huge chip on his shoulder that he is too proud to put his hands in the air when ordered by the Police and would rather fight the cops?
Of course the vast majority of us Black or White do not care what skin tone their coworker is sporting as long as that coworker is a positive team mate that pulls his/her own weight.
It is the Democrats that have too much time on their hands that dream up the "Mega Threat" of being Black in a white world...
Not possible. Biden told us all that Black people don't know how to use the internet.
