Internalized Racial Oppression

[BIAD]

You just work there...! It's not part of one's family-unit.

The notion of the family as a source of strength and a place of refuge has been under attack for decades.

They don't want people to feel sheltered by their families.  They want them isolated and vulnerable.  That is why ideas like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" are pushed.  In such conditions, one is very vulnerable to the whims of employers.  And the farther from one's family, physically, that they can force one to move in order to gain employment . . . the better.

We shall know the truth.  But it won't make us happy.

Yep, they tried it with me at the newspaper business I worked at.
The managers of several departments -people who I'd known for years and enjoyed the company of outside of
work-hours, were constantly urging me to go to a meeting with others in order to understand 'work-ethics from
the company's side'.

It was unnerving to see people who would fall into the category of 'casually-trusted' realise what they were doing when
reminded that it was odd for them to discount my own opinion over a faceless business request.

I was also fervent enough to remind them of my credo:
"The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity
with which others are trying to prove him wrong."

So I never went to the three-day courses at £300-per-head and even one-to-one threats from the Managing Director
didn't work. However, I did get the opportunity to personally question his parentage.


When the news outlet was getting bought out, the guy fleecing the company, I mean heading these courses, approached
the perspective buyers and explained what he did. They threw him out on his ear and explained he was nothing more than
a cost.
