    I worked at a job for 12 years only to find out year 10 (Covid year) that the young lady (white woman) I trained with no experience, was making more money than me. I went to my employer and let him know it was some bullshit, they act like they didn’t realize and back paid me a raise. I had already started looking for a new job immediately but then Covid came around. So I held out a little longer, but the following year I was given an opportunity and I jumped at it! Best decision I ever made.. Anyway my previous employer had the nerve to act like he didn’t understand why I was leaving.

    I loved everything you said about the black skin experience. When explaining it to a white former classmate a few years ago I said “people think it’s people calling you nigger to your nose that’s hard but it’s the “smaller” everyday shit that no one bats an eyelash about that we have to think about CONSTANTLY that’s draining as fuck.” I then gave examples about shopping, work, house buying, etc. and he was in shock.

    Girl, thank you for bringing this up!!! I am a Broker-Salesperson (real estate) in NV, and we still have classes on redlining to this day... I was shocked/not shocked when I became an agent and learned how hardcore redlining was across america. I couldn't believe we had to have a class to teach that redlining is illegal... like are you serious? People dont know not to be fu*ked up? It was 2019 and they still had examples of how it STILL happens today! I promise you the sh*t is real today sis! I tell everyone and try to educate everyone on MAKE SURE YOUR AGENT IS ON YOUR SIDE! Make sure you know your RE Agent for thr biggest purchase of your life!!!!!!! Thank you again for bringing this up! People need to know ❤❤❤❤ Love you Mona! ❤❤❤❤

  • @mspiperp
    @mspiperp Před 7 měsíci +8

    I'm remote now but the microaggressions usually always start with the touching of the hair or wearing head wraps and someone telling me that others were "concerned" about my spiritual practices (basically they thought I was a witch because I covered my hair). If your hair is too short, they ask if you like girls. If it's too long and natural, it's too big. If you're slim, they call you skinny and say you need to eat. If you're thick, they ask you if you want to walk with them during the lunch break. Glad I'm not in office anymore!

    On the last day of BLACK HISTORY month 2018 I put a coworker in her place with the spirit of 100 years of ancestors!!! I let her comment on my head wraps saying oh “ I bet your head is warm “ fly but she crossed the line when she said something to an older lady that wore a lot of wigs. She pulled me to the said telling me how it made her feel bad, that co woker wore wigs to hide hair loss. Later that day I went into her office and closed her door and told her why you see black women wear head wraps, and wigs, and weaves. It isn’t always for fashion some ppl have hair damage/loss and wear them for various reasons so your comments are inappropriate because you don’t know if it’s fashion, homage/religion/heritage, hair loss or illness. She was apologizing and correcting herself like they do but it felt good to check her.

    I went to a predominantly white school graduated HS in 2010 and went through the struggle of people touching my hair like it was a science experiment ALL the time. I also remember getting on the school bus and being called a “Brownie” and to go to the back of the bus where I belong. Long story short my bus driver turned the camera off one day and lil Logan got his nose and glasses broken! Brownie wasn’t having it anymore 😂

I did this I did that just so I can lose what they thought in there mind that gave me this abundance and beautiful home, I’m like in my mind this job don’t pay me enough to live this lifestyle 😂😂😂💯back tf up and stop trying to calculate my coins , because I was taught how to keep my house clean and if they don’t know because I don’t have to explain I’m a interior designer Wooahhhh so it comes naturally to me to live in elegance. The nerve of these people. The things you have to do to keep a straight face just to take care of your family. Your supervisor becomes a secret hater on the low so he makes your job far more worse then it have to be no support talk down to you and at you it’s a lot. Corporate America is something

    I worked in a hospital and I would wear a scarf while working housekeeping. I just felt like it was sanitary and it kept my hair from sweating out. ALL the white people would ask why I’m wearing a scarf (at the same time they have on scrub caps), or make jokes about the way I styled my scarf. They knew why I had a scarf on, because it was the same reason they have on scrub caps.
    When I Transferred from housekeeping to the lab(phlebotomist), I started wearing fashionable hairnets to hold my hair back while I drew blood. The comments changed from my scarf to my Nets. It didn’t bother me when they joked that I matched my nets to my scrubs(cause I’m a bad bitch and I wanna look good in my new position). It bothered me that it was: why I have a Net? Why do I change my styles so much? Why don’t I wear a hair tie like everyone else?

Everything I tell them, they go behind my back and tell someone else, bc they want me fired. I don’t even tell them anything important. But, the thing is, my boss loves me & they know he was gonna fire them & keep me, so now their behavior has become worse.

People always say “bring your whole self to work” but that’s honestly not possible for a lot of black people in the corporate world. Even if you don’t experience direct racism, there are micro-aggressions, there are people who assume you don’t know how to do your job, and there’s the heavy isolating feeling of being the “only”. Not fun.
