Micro aggressions you’ve experienced as a black man in the workplace

[Kerkum]

I’ve seen it all. White person shows up high and drunk off their ass...but no one bats an eye. Let a black man show up with his shoes untied and you’ll get reported by the end of the day.
When I got my new car these Mexicans stayed reporting me about made up shyt. Saying I was parking over the lines and they couldn’t get in. They actually teamed up w/ these cacs and tried to get me written up for it.

Microagressions aren't blatant, hence the term "micro," you overly emotional ball licker.

FOH you over weight chocolate drop, permanent musty box having demon

A microagression is a cac grabbing his girl's hand the minute he notices a good looking black man is in the vincinity. Or a cacette pulling her purse to the front if a black man gets behind her in line. Those are the common microagressions that become the torturous sum of the black man's daily travels.

He's right though. Those aren't micro agressions.

Bruh,after u encounter several microaggresions,like for example a white person checking their back pocket whenever they see a black man, and u see it over and over again from ONLY white people then it becomes blatant to u.


Of course if call a white person out on it,they can easily deny that it meant that way. They have plausible.deniability


Which makes micro agressions pointeless in calling out since they can always deny it.

I normally in button ups, dress pants, and or jackets. However, when I dress down in IT(for deploying a server,switch, site survey for a new building, etc), cacs assume I am:
- Security
- Facilities/Cleaning
- Mover

But when I hit them with raw technical layouts and timelines...they like:

I agree that they become blatant once you've become accustomed to them. Sadly, a lot of brehs don't pick up on it, their occurrence so slight and weighed with such plausible deniability ("If I was in line, I'd do the same thing. Can't trust nobody nowadays.") that it isn't until the mounting toll each instance adds becomes so unbearably heavy that they discover the reason for it happening. At that point, the subconscious is well ahead of us, having picked up on it well before that realization sets in.

Nothing major just small passive female shyt because I ignored them.

-Some latina broad said I say "hey " to her arrogantly


Some latina broad talking shyt about my eczema because I wouldn't acknowledge while I was hanging up clothes.
(I think it was the same broad as the first incident..I knew the bytch wanted my attention so I ignored her ass harder. Manager said I was too talkative so I focused on my work and the bytch got mad).

-Some older black lady asked me
"Why are you so nice to me?"

Seattle women are fukking weird.

I love that type of shyt

Some white thot I worked with saw me out in town one night and smiling at me and shyt saying hey.

She was with some lightskin nikka, and I'm not one to fukk up a breh game so I just say whats up and keeping walking..

This lightskin nikka is looking down at his phone but like pulling on her and shyt and she just smiling and talking to me while I wait to cross the street.


Sometimes I'll troll and if I'm in a line with a white woman I'll stand far away from them like I'm disgusted.

Almost always especially if they're young you see them get pissed.

Even when you do that they’ll still fukk with you! A nikka can literally mind his own business and excel on his job....they’ll say “we’ve been getting some complaints that you’re too quiet....”
