Right on Brother! This is an important public service announcement. No matter how polite, friendly, and professional a Black man or woman is in the workplace, THEY don't like you! Remember that at all times, and never get emotionally attached to your place of employment. Save your emotional energy for your family, friends, and above all Jesus. (Footnote: "They" refers to: (1) any non-Black race/ethnicity; (2) any Black coworker who views you as a threat.
Sometimes, it’s best to start your own businesses and work for yourself. These workplaces are BEYOND RACIST, HOSTILE, and STRESSFUL. It gets to the point where it’s not even worth putting up with this BS.
I agree. You might as well because you can't avoid it. No matter where you go, there's always going to be racism, sexism or favoritism. As long as you're working with people, you're going to experience one of those three.
Well sometimes racist customers treat us like trash. I know so many people who are sick of everything and sad to know but they turn to welfare. Personally I don't blame them. Even if the stress is too much why not file for temporary disability.
I've been through the whole workplace politics/racism thing. Never again. That's why I became a truck driver. I'm happier and make way more money.
It's happening to me gonna do Same
Be known as the thorough guy in the office that dots every "i" and crosses every "t", double checks, follows up, and documents everything. If u have that reputation, then people will think twice about trying to sabotage you or make stuff up. Dont reveal anything from your personal life and keep interactions work related and cordial.
THEY TRIED TO GET PERSONAL WITH ME AND I JUST STARED AT THEM AND THEY BACK OFF. I KEEP MY DISTANCE AND WATCH WHAT I SAY AND DO. I BEEN ON MY JOB FOR 28 YEARS. IM GETTING A LICENSE TO CARRY OFF THE JOB. BECAUSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, I DON'T DATE WOMEN OF OTHER RACES ANYMORE. THEY USED THEM TO SET YOU UP.
I had White male security people scare me a couple times when I was manually writing notes in a legal pad since its better than typing since you can make technical charts and more. White security instructed me to not do that and was so bold to accuse me of writing personal information. i.e. bank account numbers and etc. He had no clue of my position.
What is weird also is that I do check in to confidential enterprise expert systems and a few AI meetings and they sabotage my workstation. Many times I had to reboot it to clear the cache other times I cannot connect to their network drive while others can. Also, many times I cannot login as if they doing some internal DDOS attack so I cannot login. But it seems to be a inside job since its IT who knows about the bugs, vulnerability, and etc. since they are the cyber security experts but are not technologists and or enterprise programmers.
Lastly, I strongly dislike my managers and the corporate culture. They don't care about quality, fraud, and misrepresentation and what happens afterwards since there are commissions involved. In the end the Fortune 1000 corporation went down and I lost money in their garbage stocks plus it was a hostile takeover.
I dealt with this in the past when I worked at Wal-Mart. I could of reported how I was treated by Mexican girls I worked with. But the job was not very important to me. I'm glad that I know who people are and it would be stupid to let racist people get to u. Only God can change people.
Mexican men and women age 28-30 somethings; Sabotaged my last 5 out of 7 jobs and they didn’t get in trouble to my knowledge
Say it again you are behind enemy lines..ive always said it was no need to try to make friends cuz they will stab you in the back every time preach brother
Its a blessing you made this video today. The culture of my current workplace is so incredibly toxic, sexist, and borderline racist that I literally was shaking from rage on the way home. I've made it a point to start taking my education seriously so I can get the hell out of there in the next 1.5 years (the time it will take to complete my degree.) I've noticed Black Men specifically are targeted, many times they'll take it a little easier on BW. Just from my personal experiences.
You are doing such a great service to our community with this necessary information. Thank you for this video
No work place is equal.
That's why you just go there to get paid. Get your money and be on your way.
Facts. Document and report in writing to the proper channels. Dont count on anyone speaking up on your behalf
No more Miller/Coors 😤
b4 the start of the video u mentioned "work place predators"... neva heerd of anythang like that.😄 always respect great content. peace.
Thank You Shawn, for talking about this subject.
Great timeless information.
Great video Thank you
Start up Black owned small businesses.
Great idea
+RocketmanRockyMatrix EXACTLY!
Everything you do will be a problem.
It sounds like homeboy went out like Colin Ferguson. Some heads just snap and can’t deal with these things rationally. A shame because in lieu of all of this his next of kin won’t be able to sue
His next of kin can still sue. If they can prove that management knew about the racist culture and did nothing to stop it they have a civil case that's very easy to win a judgment and punitive damages from.
Thanks
No problem
SHAWN..ON PONIT !!!!!!
I been going through this for three years now. But never said anything about it. My job told me I should have said something. I will now. I can't tell you who was doing it. It wasn't my job, I'm going to leave it right there. It the RASCIST in the work place, NOT THE WORK PLACE.
good job coorsman...
Very important video
Mr James, it seems that Disney will remake Cinderella next, and the fairy godmother will be played by that, how do you put It, dude bojangling in a black dress in the Oscars, tragic.
I want to add another case, but would also these passive aggressive attitudes also be a problem as well? The reason I point this out is because you can deal with obvious behavior, but what about the types of attitudes where they are coming off like they are #woke and stand by but actually do nothing, because they don't want the stigma that they are racist for getting involved. You really have a hard time trying to figure out what goes on in the minds of people.
The passive/aggressive attitudes are often a precursor to racism. A lot of racists use passive aggressive behavior to express their contempt for Black people.
SHAWN..I DID THE RECORDING THING..SEVERAL OF TIME...THE TOP PEOPLE JUST LAUGH....IT IS...WHAT IT IS...DAM..I'LL LET U HEAR THE TAPES OF MY BOSS...IT WILL MAKE U CRY. OH..BY THE WAY..I JUST GOT WRITTEN UP YESTERDAY AT MY JOB..GO FIGURE !!!!
Get a lawyer and give them copies of your evidence. Stay cool. Don't try to impress them, do your job and go home. Put them on bast only if you have to.
Sorry you have to deal with that.
THAT'S JUST LIFE...IT'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT....I SOMETIME WILL PLAY THE TAPE FOR MOTIVATION . OR TO HUMBLE MYSELF...WHEN YOU WAKE UP WITH MELANIN SKIN....YOU HAVE TO BE ON YOUR GUARD..24/7..THAT'S A FACT....CAUSE AS U SEE MY BROTHER...THIS SOCIETY IS GOING THROUGH A PROBLEM THAT MAKE 1919 RED SUMMER AND BLACK WALL STREET LOOK LIKE A COMMON COLD...FACT... THERE WILL BE A LIFE OF HELL FOR THEM...FACT..FACT..FACT !!!! :)
WELL THERE'S A LAW... A LAW THAT U CAN'T RECORD A PERSON WITHOUT THERE PERMISSION ..A STUIPD LAW FOR THE ELITE,LOL...I USE THAT TAPE FOR RECEIPTS..FOR MYSELF...I REALLY DO FEEL IN MY HEART...KARMA IS AROUND THE CORNER FOR US...MELANIN SKIN PEOPLE...I'M WATCHING THE NEWS EVERYDAY..AND THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST..JUST GETTING A LITTLE TASTE OF WHAT IS COMING FOR THEM...THIS MY FRIEND IS ALL BIBLICAL THINGS WHICH IS COMING....FACT. :) I JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF POPCORN AND WATCH FROM A DISTANCE. :)
