A Question for Readers
Racial epithets? Racist drawings? Called the n-word? Denied workplace opportunities? Rampant stereotyping?
What has been your biggest battle or craziest experience with workplace racism?
Post a comment (anonymous is fine). I'll share some of your experiences on the main page in the near future.

You may be surprised to learn that in my agency the fight has been for equal civil rights. Hope you caught that, "equal" civil rights.
At my agency being white can and has made you an open target. The system known as EEO doesn't apply to you.
There is a perception that if you look white, you are white and will be treated as such. This makes little sense with a President in office who has made it clear that because he looks black, he identifies himself as black. His choice may be political, mine is not.
Congressman Elijah Cummings said in a speech last year that new class of multi-racial citizens are being over looked. He's absolutely right.
This website is awesome and has/will have exceeding value! This site allows quiet but candid proffer of readers and writers alike --- most certain to engender truthful dialogue.
Thank you.
I am a part of professional organizations but these organizations are the most ridiculous and unfortunately wrought with stereotypical "crab madness" and most of the players aren't even good at the game --- nevertheless it's sad, hurtful and disheartening and most certainly diminishes the organizations us as people of color.
We have to remain professional but candid with one another and point out the fallacy of 'swelling self aggradizement in the barrel' --- it's counterproductive and what's more, stupid! I don't subscribe to the slave mentality as an explanation of the crab in the barrel --- those kine (K-I-N-E intended) are veritable cowards. It's not about the slave mentality, it's just cowardice!
