WHITE BOSS CAUGHT ON TAPE MAKING RACIST REMARKS TO BLACK EMPLOYEES

Racism at the work place is the most frequent but also the least acknowledged form of racism in today’s society.   The majority of  the leadership positions in American companies are held by white men, which puts African American employees in a vulnerable situation when faced with racism. Think about it,  it’s complicated to argue with your white boss when they are able to dictate your financial situation.  In addition, the boss’ colleagues that are in a position of equivalent power, and are also typically white, likely share his views.  This is why we have some black people that are content and submissive to being unfairly treated in the work place.  They accept lower salaries than their white counterparts, adhere to more strict dress codes, and are less likely to be promoted. So much appreciation to these two black men that were willing to put their finances on the line for the respect of their culture.

Black Women Subjected to Full Body Cavity Search on TX Highway

 

As a black woman, my stomach turns watching this video.  This incident goes far beyond questioning the ethics of law enforcement.  The actions taken against these women were nothing short of rape and both officers should be charged accordingly.  Although many may view this as two incompetent police officers, I believe this was a premeditated scenario and these two women were the unfortunate victims that day.  The whole thing is wrong and suspicious.  From not being allowed to clothe themselves, being handcuffed in their bathing suits, and only 1 glove between 2 different police cars for such a classic insignificant and unsubstantiated accusation – “I smell weed”.  After what they endured, they deserve every single dollar from the lawsuit.
