Written by Dana Brownlee and published by Forbes. Warning: Brownlee is a race-denier.
#1 – Racism doesn’t just show up in its most extreme form. There is indeed a continuum (of racist thoughts and behaviors), and you may be on it. Note to Brownlee: And you may have a one-sided and biased view.
#2 – Even if you personally haven’t offended anyone (that you know of), you may indeed be part of the problem. How is Brownlee an authority on race?
#3 – Every black person on your team is not your “friend.”
#4 – Gender and race discrimination are not “essentially the same.”
#5 – Even though there may be one or two black faces in leadership, your organization may indeed have a rampant racial injustice problem.
*******************
On the other hand, the problem may be with Brownlee.
Brownlee is not qualified to list the problems because she sees only one side and she is biased by and blind to the problems of the different races. She doesn’t address for example the nature of black or white people. She sees things and interprets those things from her perspective without grasping the differences between black people and people of other races. There are differences and the differences encompass much more than skin color which is the limitation of Brownlee. Hence she starts in the middle when she should start at the beginning. What is the beginning of the issue of race?
