Speaker Declares that Whites Must Release the Stress Hormone, Cortisol, to Work With Blacks!

Lehman Brothers was hit with a discrimination lawsuit, in July 2006, based on an employee’s contention that she lost her job because she complained about offensive remarks made at work.

Karen McDermott, aVP, complained to her superior about racist comments made by a speaker during a leadership-training event on May 18th. The offending comment made by the unidentified speaker was: "White people release the stress hormone, Cortisol, whenever they work with black people." After complaining to HR, Ms. McDermott was told not to “align herself” with another Black employee who they labeled as “negative.” Yes, they completely ignored the issue.

After refusing to back down about her complaint, Ms. McDermott lost her six-figure job within one month. She filed a suit alleging discrimination.

If White people have to release the stress hormone, Cortisol, when they have to deal with Blacks at work, what hormone are we releasing to deal with them everyday? Surely, we are producing some hormone, that is working overtime, in order to deal with racism and ignornace!

Did Massa need Cortisol when he was sneaking into the slave quarters at night? Oh, that’s right. Rape rendered the need to release Cortisol unnecessary!

Blacks probably release 100 times more of this stress hormone through their everyday dealings with whites - if whites do in fact release that stress hormone, my response is good, let them get stressed too! lol!

White people wished they had to release some stress hormone to deal with us. If it wasn't for black people being used by Whites, they wouldn't have all the fancy titles and high salaries they command right now. They get what they have based on legalized slave labor. They need us!

Again, this is a class issue that you don't understand.

They probably weren't talking about an HR job, sitting behind a desk all day.

I presume that you don't use ebonics at work, if at all. The average white person is as annoyed with ebonics as Bill Cosby is. Look at how stressed out he was at that NAACP meeting.
