The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 05/15/25
The Context of White Supremacy hosts weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 05/15/25 During this past weekend's Compensatory Call-In, a listener dialed in to share how she confronted her White supervisor about his ongoing sexual harassment. This White man would leave "love notes" on her assigned desk and on her vehicle. She took pictures of the tacky messages and questioned him about what qualifies as appropriate conduct in the office. She disclosed that he's been loud and disruptive in the office since she confronted his lewd behavior. We also discuss White people using the phrase: "are you behaving yourself" in the the workplace. Gus submits that Whites consciously employ this phrase to infantilize non-white people. White "adults" have to keep an eye on their unruly non-white "children." We also make time to examine this weeks HBRCast report with Suspected Racist guest Whitney Johnson, who offered suggestions on the healthiest way to respond to an unforeseen lost of a job. Johnson encourages workers to keep our résumés and skills sets updated. INVEST in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
