The Atlantic: Why Black Workers Really Do Need To Be Twice As Good

[CodeBlaMeVi]

That's inaccurate for two reasons. The first being that black women deal with the same perceptions and passive aggressive behavior that leads to a host of issues.

The second reason is that even if that wasn't the case, if something impacts either gender, it impacts us all. If black men have a hard time maintaining employment, that is an issue for black women and children. The same in reverse. I'm not sure why people on this board seem to want to divide issues based on gender when we are a nation that will either rise together or fall together.

Youre absolutely right.

Going above and beyond for cacs...

okay buddy. Do you have your own business?

I know plenty of blacks who have worked longer and harder than their white employees. The companies keep them around for a long time but they still go very underappreciated compared to their white coworkers.

Reduces their hardwork to that of a "good ******"

It's not that this board wants to "divide issues based on gender". From my observation, black women are more likely to be treated like their white counterparts in the corporate world than black men.

That is not always the case....

While I may be hired faster than my Black male counterpart, the treatment once there is the same...I am scrutinized, challenged and undermined the same way a Black man would be

It's a good ole boys club through and through...

Can you get more specific with this graph breh?

 

[Arithmetic]

Can you get more specific with this graph breh?

Black men earn more than black women

 

[BaggerofTea]

Black men earn more than black women

Numbers wise, is that an average weekly pay stub? or is that an average years salary in the tens of thousands?

This is called racial discrimination.......... not having to work twice as hard... Black woman aren't really having this issue so... :yeshrug.... ........ Not telling my seeds that.......

Actually it is having to work twice as hard.

Having to work twice as hard to not get caught when messing up, having to work twice as hard to pass a white coworker, having to work twice as hard to ignore the passive aggressive behavior of white coworkers, having to work twice as hard to ignore racist behaviors and the list goes on.

Nah... Just be efficient and professional and do not engage in office politics unless it's necessary...

If you're working "twice as hard" as your white counterparts then you're the fool.... This was 100 percent true back in the day, but not today

It is true today. Those same racists back then passed on their beliefs to their children.

Its quite counterproductive for you to believe that it isnt like it was back in the day.
