What industry have you encountered the most racism in?

I mean, I’ve heard horror stories from all of them.

For my experience, I’m gonna say universities are the OG boss of all racists. It’s hard to even put into words. :wow: The pretension…the arrogance, blocking opportunities for minorities while preaching social justice, punishing professors whose research dismantles the status quo, blocking black professors from getting full or tenure, hiring people with ZERO skills, the stealing of intellectual property, covering up any evidence of progress if it doesn’t support racist ideology.
:wow::wow::wow:
The long history of racism begins and ends at the universities. Just the peer-review process alone is:wow:
That shyt aint objective.:stopitslime: It’s friends on different committees publishing their friends work. You could have the cure for cancer and if you ain’t kissing the right asses, that research will never see the light of day. There’s so much knowledge that never hits the light of day b/c it’s blocked for racist and political reasons.

So many cover ups…just awful.

i feel like this forum invests a lot of time into dwelling in negative head spaces likes there's never balance

"what are the worst places for black people to go visit, live work etc are constant themes but there's no other side to it just WOAT lists discussed to no end. it's demoralizing to constantly congregate to talk about how bad shyt is for brehs. don't say it's to raise awareness either. the woke era was damn near a decade, people have information now and not much has changed.

Are the conversations valid? sure if they are leading to something besides a pity party. It might not be intentional but it's become the defining character of this sub

I totally agree with you @Booksnrain

I was going to work towards teaching African history/Black humanities or Black African and Afro-diasporic literature at the higher education level during my undergrad. This was always a passion of mine.

Ultimately, I decided against this after the extreme racism I experienced as a student, which included being publicly called a rape apologist and black male chauvinist by a white female student, when I challenged notorious sexual violence scholar/ open racist Susan Brownmiller’s words on Emmet Till.

When I confided in a professor about my struggles, she (a Black American women who’d been teaching for decades at the same school and wasn’t tenured :mjpls:) told me that it won’t get easier. The American academe is violently, irreparably and deeply racist. I think as black people that we forget that it was academia which first legitimized racism into the medical, anthropological, psychological, historical, linguistic and artistic disciplines.

Now, on that same campus where the black female professor lacked tenure. A racist white man who preached false black crime statistics and anti-blackness was tenured :mjpls:

PWIs can be brutal and I perhaps I shouldn’t have gone. My mistake. Maybe I should have just gone out of state to the HBCU that wanted me instead smh. :snoop:
