Black management and supervisors Rules and regulations to follow

I work with a highly educated mostly black staff. However the education that most of my supervisors have received has not prepared them to deal with the complexities of managing a diverse work staff. 

1. Never lose sight of how you are viewed by your company or your boss (you are black). 

2. Do not let loyalty or guilt about your race dictate how you discipline a black staff member. It is the responsibility of all black people who work under the management of other black people not to put themselves in a situation where they have to be disciplined. 

3. Meet individually with all of your staff, when you meet with your black employees advise them that you will be fair and help them in any way that they need, Advised them that the best way to help you is by doing their job with integrity and professionalism. Their performance will reflect on you and yours will reflect on their future promotion. 

4. You are not your white counterpart you cannot just talk down to your staff and get away with it. I have seen what I call the black supervisor killer (white women). Do not think that for one second you can get away with disciplining a white woman to aggressively, you need to be careful, very careful. 

5. Never overtly show favoritism to other black employees. I know that white managers have shown favoritism to other white employees right in your face. However you are not white so you will have to hide your support for any black staff. 

6. Know your staff. If you suspect that one of your white staff is a racist do not let them know that you are aware of how they feel. This is a very dangerous time you must prove without a doubt that this person is a racist. It doesn’t matter if they have made racial statements it doesn’t matter if they have a Confederate flag hanging off a pickup truck. It would be best if you had white staff support and collaborate with you on this matter. 

7. Never talk about your politics especially if you support President Barack Obama. 

8. Never talk about religion especially if you are not a Christian. 

9. Black male supervised never talk about your sexual conquests, the black male has always throughout American history been perceived as a sexual threat. 

10. If you are ever asked about OJ (he did). 

11. Smile especially black women you do not want to be labeled angry black woman. 

12. Know your job, no your staff jobs, no your boss job, everything and anything about your job you should know.

Tulsa OK 1921: US Government Bombs US City



National Guard troops patrolling the streets armed. Thousands of black people held in a convention center. Hundreds of black dead, with bodies piled like wood. That was not New Orleans, that was Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June 1921.On May 30, 1921 a young black man named Dick Rowland, stumbled into a white woman, while entering an elevator. He was accused of assault, and arrested the next day. Newly rich from oil Tulsa, was a Ku Klux Klan town. Rowland was sentenced to be hanged. The Tulsa Tribune called for a “Negro lynching tonight.”The white mob was surprised when they were met by several dozen armed black men, dressed in their World War I uniforms. This led to a racist three day destruction of the black neighborhood of Greenwood. The Red Cross reported 300 mostly dead black people.Greenwood called “Little Africa,” was a relatively wealthy community. White mobs, many deputized, destroyed every house, store, church or school. The mob met resistance from an armed black population. Governor Robertson declared martial law. The National Guard arrived with machine gun mounted trucks, and airplanes hovering over Greenwood. It was the first time an American city was bombed from the air, by the US government.Over 6,000 black people, were round up and held in the convention center and fairgrounds, as long as eight days. The homeless were shuttled into a tent city, where typhoid and malnutrition took over. Blacks were allowed out of the convention center, with a tag, with an employers name. Thosands fled the city.Attempts to turn Greenwood into an industrial zone were unsuccessful. For several years, it was deprived of paved streets, running water, and garbage collection.See: Tulsa Reparations Coalition and thank you to Internationalist Group for presenting this story in your newspaper.

Mosque arsonist tells court: ‘I only know what I hear on Fox News’
An Indiana man convicted of setting fire to a mosque in Ohio told a judge on Wednesday that he committed the crimes because Fox News and conservative talk radio had convinced him that “most Muslims are terrorists.”
Randolph Linn, 52, accepted a plea deal in which he pled guilty to all charges in connection to setting a fire in the prayer room at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo on Sept. 30. Under the deal, Linn is expected to serve 20 years in prison instead of 40.

China denounces America’s treatment of Afro-descendants

“In conclusion, The People’s Republic of China demands that America stop using their cry of human rights violations against other sovereign nations in order to declare war on them to steal their resources when America flagrantly violates the human rights of Afro-descendants and other minorities within its own country.”

this article just drops stat. after stat. on the racial inequalities in the U.S. good read.

When China calls out your shit about human rights. And has the numbers to back it up. Then you know you’ve fucked up.

#awkwardmomentsinhistory

CHINA!!! I see you! Call ‘em out!

The same thing that president Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama had to face and still deal with today when they moved in the White House.
