The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 05/01/25
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 05/01/25. The first week of May brought ongoing confusion for non-white and White workers about President Donald Trump's new tariffs and the ongoing cuts of federal jobs. Gus strongly suggests that non-white people avoid discussing politics in the workplace. If this subject matters is brought up by your co-workers (White or non-white), Gus recommends Mr. Neely Fuller Jr.'s strategy of Compensatory Conversation Control. Move the dialog back to discuss your actual workplace duties. The C.O.W.S.'s own "Bay Area Mom" gave us a live demonstration of this technique. Apparently, her fellow educators think the elementary school house is the correct environment to grouse about our current president. When they attempt to engage our attempted counter-racist educator in anti-Trump banter, she redirects the conversation back to helping the children, which is a teacher's most important job. Also, given the precarious nature of employment in our current environment, Gus exhorts non-white people to speak honestly with your non-white offspring about your workplace experience. This will help them better understand their attempted parents, the System of White Supremacy, and the field of Labor that awaits them. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
