Dealing with Racism at Work

Wow, 😥 it blows my mind that people think somehow they are better because of the color of their skin. It only reflects the hatred they have for the selves, wether it be known to them or subconsciously. And the even more messed up part of it is, my self included, that we haven’t learned how to not take things personally. I find my self getting upset about something that someone else did to me. In reality it’s their hatred and unhappiness. You’re not responsible for the toxic things they spew. It’s so much easier said than done. How do we bounce this hatred off of us without it effecting our psyche? It’s even more frustrating that they get what they wanted out of writing what they did on your white board by basically ruining your day. I’m so sorry that you have to now wonder who wrote it and feel unsafe at work. Be strong! You are stronger than they are! You are amazing, and just remember you’re made from the same matter as the stars 🫶🏽

That's sooo horrible, and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this harassment. I know it takes a lot of energy and can be stressful, but please, please consider reporting this to your supervisors/HR. This is racial harassment, and you don't deserve to have to deal with this in your workplace. No one deserves this, ever. The person who wrote this on your board should face the consequences. Please take care of yourself and know that you deserve safety and respect.
