White people in the replies:
“But we have to do it too! Everyone has to be professional at work!”
That’s not what we’re talking about, but of course, they have to invalidate, and chime in on EVERYTHING.
Black professionals talking about code switching at work, and here come white people

I think very deeply
I'm fukking sick of these people.
I mentioned not too long ago in the 6 figures, 6 certs section that on LinkedIn somebody posted a picture of a group of black male Harvard University law school graduates, then here comes all the cacs (mainly cacs but you can guess all the other usual suspects) talking about lack of women, whites, blah blah blah and saying how it's "divisive".Bear in mind, the picture didn't even have "black men" in the title, it just happened to be a group of brothas taking a photo together. As if there literally aren't trillions of photos of white professionals posing together.
They can't even hide their fear and discomfort of black, intelligent professionals on a platform like LinkedIn.
It's all "bootstraps" talk until we actually do it, then it's oh why cause division we are all one race.

I’ve been saying this for a while now.
Any time we post something positive about ourselves, or highlight black accomplishment, it’s “Why do you have to mention they’re black? Stop dividing us by race.”
Yet when a black person commits a crime, it’s “HEY LOOK AT THAT BLACK PERSON DOING SOMETHING WRONG!!!”
Black crime: Let’s talk about it!
Black entrepreneurship: Shhhhh!!

“White folks do the same shyt
And us Latinos do the same shyt
It's called professionalism
Personally, I never code switched and let my performance speak for me
I was basically Kramer in a corporate setting”
They just can’t help themselves. Buddy trying to get those white people brownie points

We haven’t been given an inch since stepping on this soil and everything, I mean everything we have now, we fought for it.
fukk them.
In a few ways at least, this article overthinks it. I understand what it's like being the only black person in a meeting, but I try not to overthink it and sabotage myself. Otherwise you can end up putting more pressure on yourself than necessary. That's exactly what this article is encouraging. It's not coincidental that 99 percent of these articles are from women. Men and women move different. Men are about a paycheck, women are about a paycheck, appearances, and feelings on the job. Hence this article.
Look at this, from the article.
Downplaying race: Avoiding certain conversation topics, such as reparations, that might make white people uncomfortable or deemphasizing aesthetic attributes that signal racial heritage
Who is talking to white coworkers about reparations You can't even have that conversation in a stimulating manner with a lot of black people.
Another bit from the article.
Harris, who’s held top jobs at some of the biggest companies in the world, including Microsoft, Deloitte, and T-Mobile, recalled logging on to Zoom meetings from home and feeling an uncomfortable dissonance whenever she was the only Black woman on the call. That, combined with the murder of George Floyd, which gave rise to global protests and a broader examination of racial inequity in America, caused her to reflect: “What does it mean to show up as your authentic self at work without having to resort to unnatural contortions?”
I'm sorry, but when I'm on a Teams meeting and we're discussing an audit or compliance, that's actually a moment for me to focus on something else. It's a bit of an escape momentarily from social issues. I start taking a deep dive in a spreadsheet looking at column DX, George Floyd isn't on my mind.
She realized that if she felt this vulnerable and exposed as a senior executive, younger employees must be hurting, too. She helped facilitate conversations between Black junior staff members and her colleagues in the C-suite. Her goal was to help fellow leaders grasp the psychological state of Black employees.
See, this is overthinking. She's doing too much. I don't want to see employers trying to grasp the psychological state of black employees. I mean awareness is good, but there's a fine line between that and pitying black employees and coworkers. Black professionals should want respect and dignity, not coddling.

If you choose to play their game how you gonna complain about their rules? Keep it real, keep it moving or buck dance. 
I just hate that so many think this game is their only choice
