Now that the country is trying to return to “normal”, expect the #Racism & #Retaliation to re-emerge. Some of the same people, even in our industry, who were involved in the #favoritism #nepotism #cronyism gossip and whisper campaigns -that comprise the foundation of racism…

Are returning to their old habits. Let’s not forget that some of these same people cried, protested, complained and railed against #SystemicRacism, simply because they had to, to avoid being exposed and branded as what and who they are. They key is to recognize and call them out

just as we did before #GeorgeFloyd was killed. I’m grateful for the allies of all races who’ve stuck their necks out literally to support racial justice in the last year. Without them, like it or not as @RobinGivhan suggested, it took those voices to bring the kind of pressure

and awareness needed to make some changes. But now that the protests have receded and the spotlight has shifted, don’t forget about those people who still face the career-crushing impacts of pretenders, who, quietly waited until things calmed, to resume their hatred.

So, how can we help? As @SingletaryM said in @PodcastColors “it’s not about” us. It’s about “doing the right thing” as @cbrennansports has said so many times in her coverage. @RickDocWalker nailed it when said the young generation is “marching in unity” and ignoring the baggage

from their parents generation. As Edgar A Guest wrote, “eyes front, head high, to the finish, see it through”. Join us in @PodcastColors as we embark in the next chapter in this journey. @NicoleFCarr @HannahAllam @abscribe @reenaninan @threadreaderapp unroll
