This was so refreshing to hear! I’ve always taken this position…because this is true! I too was introduced to this phenomenon by another African-American who was looking for brownie points from management by attempting to throw me under the bus..only to have it backfire on her later down the road. Proximity to whiteness is such an excellent way of presenting this issue!🎉🎯💯🙌🏾👌🏾
We are racially showcased. As someone who’s been in a leadership role in corporate America for 15 years, the black person in charge has no power. Fail to keep that in mind, and it will cost you
I don’t agree that you don’t have power. You just don’t have as much power as they do. I was in corporate for many years, and I used my power to advance the careers of other Black people. That’s a kind of power, and too many of us are afraid to use the power that we have. But there is no point in having power if you are unwilling to use it to benefit those who need it. So I don’t agree with the idea that you don’t have any power because you do. You just have to be willing to use it even if it cost you.
@@theantihr I have advanced other black people lol. But true power is the ability to provide and protect those who you lead. I can bring in black folks and can encourage them, but I am also honest and I tell them they are own their own, I can jot protect them

I so appreciate you stating this phenomenon is very prevalent in the TECH world. I was considering pursuing a job in tech, but now I am rethinking it. WHAT INSIGHTFUL INFORMATION. You might have saved a lot of BLACK people from undue stress.
Definitely resonate with this as a Black American growing up as one of the only Black kids in my hometown and married to a Black American with parents from the Caribbean. Thank you for this!❤
Ms. Archer, I find it interesting when I see how many people have viewed this 6 how many people have liked it. I don't know if you stepped on some toes. I hope that the people who need to hear this message get it, even if they don't like the video. Thank you!
It’s refreshing to type in the subject to the search 🔍 bar and find a first generation West Indian American making this point 👏 . I do believe my upbringing gives me a sense of double consciousness because my ancestors were colonized in a different paradigm. My social experiences are also shaped spiritually through the lenses of my ancestors. Although I experience an American reality, the double consciousness we have (as islanders) does bring out various aspects of our own experiences into daily work/life. The stream of consciousness that you discussed I agree with ! 💯 🗣️ #subscribed
Excellent. I worked in the international development field and even though I am African, I grew up with pan-African and pro black parents. Black Racism is the cornerstone of the hierarchy all over the world. People mirror the dominant culture which is about someone is on the top and someone is on the bottom by showing brute force, bullying, abuse, exploitation or even teasing. In these organizations, I noticed because I had grown up and understood these dynamics from a young age and also took courses in university and law school in these structures, I was often the victim of Africans and Brown peoples bullying me in these organizations because I refused to play the proximate to white games. They called me an Afro-Centric African. Because truly they didn’t understand the unconscious nature of these systems even in the context of majority African employees. Peculiarly enough African Americans in Africa in these organizations, preferred to align themselves with the dominant power structures and they would then bully the African locals and those they felt were darker than themselves. Also, many Africans in West Africa do not know their history. They have stories they have been told about their bloodline. Like many African-Americans think they have Native American blood and this is not true, many West Africans were taken into slavery and then returned back to the continent or stayed in the country they were taken to. Because a lot the history has been so traumatic many would need to take a DNA test to understand. The colonizers didn’t need to enslave Africans by taking them abroad, because it was cheaper to keep them on the continent have them work and steal their resources. So Africans who think they are better, need to think again. King Leopold of Belgium, enslaved and killed millions of Congolese for their resources.
I'm late on this message but we are having an issue in Texas. Our issue is the Black Americans born and raised in Texas versus the Black Americans in Texas from other states....It's a War to say the least.
Keep in mind that the holiday of Juneteenth derives from Black American Slaves in Texas being the last to be free. Or being the last to be " aware " that they were free.
Oooh step back for a mid shot! Nice blouse! YES! TELL ‘EM!! Colonization is domestic slavery. They were enslaved on the macro level! We don’t do that proximity to whiteness nonsense. People need to self love, improve one’s integrity and self respect!
Know what your talking about. Got that type of not like others talk. People create a hierarchy chain and don’t even realize it. A persons further proximity, validates oppression from somebody with a closer one, an other with an even closer proximity validates them looking down on & oppressing you. Towards a divide and conquer, keep each other in check hierarchy. Being against instead of unifying. People who are new to the country, culture are more impressionable & seek inclusion. And it would take some time to figure out why I don’t hold any bad will at them. That used to be me.
I really like your segments. But, there is no black and brown coalition. If so, please let me know where “brown” consistently speaks for favorable black matters. I haven’t seen it. In fact, I have seen more anti-black racism coming from “brown” folk. If I’m wrong would really like to hear why.
Did I say that there was such a coalition?? Perhaps this is not the right place for you to be if you listen to argue rather than listening to understand.
@@theantihr No, you didn’t use the word coalition. It was implied. I’m not arguing with you. I hope your listeners can provide feedback without you feeling a little slighted. But too many of Black Americans mention “brown” like they are riders. They aren’t. We need to be clear about that.
@@Lakersman24well she isn’t Black American, even though she refers to herself as that. It just is what it is. She also didn’t say there was a coalition but I get your point. I get annoyed by the black and brown talking point, it really needs to be done away with, but I understand why she used it in this particular instance.

It's so needed to expose this! And bring it into the frame! Excellent video. White supremacy is wack!
Excellent message! Enough is enough!

never understood how Indians are so infatuated with British Royal Family😂
So are Kenyans and many other Africans whose countries were colonized by the British. It ain’t just some Indians 👀🙄
