These is an excellent post.This is DEEP. And it’s another form of creating familiarity barriers. It’s difficult for heterosexual men to enter spaces bc academia and corporate is dominated by women
I contracted at a spot in NY few years back. I’m somewhat IT based so I’m in my own lil silo. But they added a breh to this other team. Not IT related. He’s a PHD but was surrounded by a team of artsy fartsy young PHD chicks. Ended up clashing, he couldn’t speak their ‘lingo’. They transferred him and had him doing shyt he’s WAY overqualified for.
That’s for a breh with a phd. So imagine what’s going on in those hiring rooms for regular jobs, especially now without DEI
This has been the playbook for dismantling the black family/community for centuries. Just more sophisticated nuanced implementation than house/field negro tropes.



Y’all really been conned into thinking it’s all waste and excess. To the point you’re doing their bidding cheering this on and ignoring that it’s a Trojan horse to usher in all sorts of shyt that WILL affect you and millions of other black folk. Brilliant
