Purposed racism?


I have retired from a major utility employer as you all are aware. In my years with the company I worked in some of the least desirable locations for a white person, learned how hateful both sides of racism from ALL races can be and yet; in one of our operations as well noted by a psychologist that sought to determine the intentions of the individuals stated he had seen this in other industries and had no explanation why.

There were racist presentations in the shower room of one of the power stations written on the walls in human excrement the "N" word as well slanderous racist remarks. In trying to curb that emotional disturbance and cause of very high racial tension in that facility hidden cameras were installed to identify the 'Repeat' offender.

What came about was beyond surprising when a African American with some 25 years in the company was seen performing the deed. It was allowed to pass and a second occurrence recorded where he and a associate African American BOTH performed a similar offence. Both were sent to counseling while this Psychologist was hired to tour all the company's facilities and determine the level at which this could be occurring. He was questioned by myself and a select few Union Stewards as to the findings to which he had noted the majority was hate of whites by the black members to which they had stirred the pot to get the company to fire more whites and hire more blacks.

His comments as to other installations beyond ours was eye opening that the racism he found was African American directed and NOT whites proportionally.

Any instances found in your regions?

I doubt very much that is the norm.

I've never really seen this in a work force capacity, as i was a homemaker most of my adult life and then opened my own small business.

My eyes have really been opened about the hate of whites by many black people.
 

AT sometime (hopefully in the future) this reverse racism is going to have to be dealt with no matter how much some want to believe it doesn't happen.

I think many could benefit from not dredging up the history of slavery. Here in Ar it's the constant Central High Crisis...

The younger generation of blacks have been spoon fed this from birth by the media. It's time to come to terms of their heritage and freaking deal with it.

Everyone needs to start moving ahead instead of dwelling in the past.

Not on my job but socially and through traveling. I have seen hate from all groups towards another,Caucasians, Asians, blacks, Hispanics including a few that hated their own 'group.' which I couldn't get a handle on at all.

Black racism towards other races is not quite as institutionalised as white racism directed at blacks.

I agree. It doesn't do a lot of good to keep dwelling on mistakes of the past(although we need to understand why they occurred).

Or to constantly remind black people and everyone else that many white people treated them badly in the 19th century and early 20th century, the kind of thing CBS News likes to do. That sort of thing can promote the idea that white people have a monopoly on racism, which isn't true. Racism is universal.

What we need to work on fixing are the mistakes we can fix. The mistakes we are making now.

Only because black people aren't the majority in charge of most of the institutions.

Each human race is just as guilty of racism as the others are. None of them is imbued with a special quality that would make them less racist.

I suggest you come to the US and move into a home in a predominantly Black ethnicity neighborhood. The racism displayed is pretty bad from the other side.

I lived in S.F. in the "black ghetto" my last two years of nursing school, in the tumultuous times of civil rights. It was not "pretty bad."
