How many of you have ever taken action at the workplace over racial discrimination you witnessed? [View all]

[JanMichael]

I have. In a professional setting in my first month on a job over 10 years ago. I was uncomfortable doing it but I did it. It was hard not because of not caring enough but because I thought I would be branded a troublemaker and I have to work to eat. It resulted in an action that ended the problem. I also had another similar issue a couple of years after that and did the same thing although it was easier the second time.

Which leads to me finding it rather amusing that I am not seen as antifa or anti-racist enough these days.

So how many of you have actually ever taken it to the next level? I do not mean yelling at someone I mean administrative action. Ie real substantive action that could backfire on you. Especially if you are of the so called majority? I know you exist and I would like to hear from you.

Again I post this out of a real sense of frustration with an avalanche of holier than thou posts on DU now.

Basically I live and do what I say on this board in real life. I am not holier than thou but I am also not a keyboard warrior. Not that in some cases that keyboard warrioring isn't a good thing. It is when that is someone's only option. I support that.

I almost feel like the old Bolsheviks. They all got shot after the helping to win the Revolution. That sucks.
