Becky gets upset with the sister because their men start talking and looking around at the sister. They are insecure because they are brought up to believe the lie that they are beautiful just beacause of their color, hair and eye color. When the men's attention says different , they feel confused .
They need to always feel superior and they hate you looking at them in the eye. They want your skills for free.
The same exact thing happened to me. I was at AT&T. My supervisor, her supervisor, a Human Resources supervisor. They told me maybe I need to get union representation. I asked where is the representative. They called one in. He said it was too many managers there he wanted back up. We left so he could ask me what was this about. They said I had turned in an advertisement report to get paid when the client did know about it. In other words fraudulent tried to get paid. I said the advertisement copy and display was from the customer himself, surely he knows he had to pay for it. The meeting was over. I was militant and they knew I didn’t care for white folks. But they respected the hell out of me. I finally got tired of them. Sued them for mental distress, won my case and they had to pay me $2,100.00 monthly from 32 years old. I went home had three babies and get paid until I am 65 and get social security.
Sounds like you don't belong.if you have to change who you are you don't belong. You either enjoy working with other people or you don't. But find your place like everyone else does.
I was a Machinist , my line ran no lower than 96% and as high as 99.9% and my de.on supervisor wanted me to give my job to another demon and i back him up 😂 they didnt have 1 machinist that ran my numbers. Used a black dude to get me fired , Stephen at his finest.
it aint got nothing to do with you being an immigrant
Better tell them Brother Phil 💪🏿
It’s a universal rule for every race to always dumb yourself down until you figure out what types of people you’re dealing with but black people have this unhealthy obsession with white folks. Sometimes you need to ignore whatever other people do and just handle your business.
Those folks probably don't even think or know that she's an immigrant. They just don't care, and her throwing up that immigrant statement makes me not care. Black Americans cry over everyone's struggles except our own. I'm done caring. Align yourself with black Americans or get the F on..
I agree with you I immigrated from Zambia, this should common sense we are same people
Becky and Karen do not like to see a black woman in a suit at work.
🤣🤣Phil what is the difference in Becky and Karen I think they are the same energy, but I'm a women so we might see it differently🤣🤣they will steal your idea too.✌🏾✌🏾🥰🥰.
I think Trump will insist you do not look white men in the eye. Good luck America
She had her "n-word" wake-up call. Welcome to America; you're just black now. Othering means nothing here. You can desire to set yourself apart from us but the power structure doesn't give a damn. They're going to treat you precisely the same as they treat us. You want to separate, stay where you are, deal with it but we're still going to get treated the same as long as you stay here.
There's the issue of dumbing yourself down and the micro-aggressions where those folks like to attempt to meet you "where they think you are," in terms of intelligence as they "communicate" and "build rapport" with you. It can be highly offensive if you're sensitive to it when it's happening.
Jamie is not lying. NY HQs (midtown) lower level subordinates were EXTREMELY ;Afro sensitive;;….
Seems like what men deal with each day…
Palestinians helped ANC during their struggle against apartheid.
Phil unfortunately some of the B Americans treat immigrants just as bad as them folks!
Live in the UK and it is very similar here. Not all of us African immigrants are ignorant, we know exactly how it goes down and what are AA brothers and sisters have been putting up with for centuries!
stay out of foreign conflicts
Lmao..She forgot She was BLACK in the US??? I dont feel sorry for Her or them!! But yall talk about BAs like Dogs!!! Oh well..suck it up buttercup!!! Ur in the US..and Racism is ALIVE and WELL in America..🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 your rely fed up with them folks
I've had some tell me I was too smart for my own good 😒😒
This dumb down thing doesn't only happen to black people, it does happen to Asians and other white people as well. Last year 2023 i was working at a mine and I met a half Asian half white guy and a full Asian guy, both were complaining about how white people want them to dumb down in order to keep their job. At same mine site, a white bloke who was employed casually like me was given a permanent position because he dumped down, wearing women dresses, going out with the bosses for fishing and drinking and they would take pictures of him while he's drunk and show it at workplace and people would laugh at him. I think people have seen John Cena embarrassing himself naked few days ago too

It's experienced by blacks from other blacks in the workplace too
❤❤❤
Harrietta ! 30 some years teaching babies. My foot in
Also rule number 1 never outshine the master everybody with a job has a master
If she was in her own respective country she wouldn't have the opportunity to even work…i don't f*uck with the foreigners because they don't like Americans who are black
In my remote workplace this takes place and we working from home, there are zoom meetings of these people trying to project their degenerate behaviors onto me and I battle with them all day to prove I'm the Superior smart in my team.
Dumb your self down will get you no where. So many people are continuing to do that for years. This is why we're in the bad economy.people not doing there research and going on emotion. Please stop!
You have no idea how many people can relate
What working place are you working? You’re making up stuff now. The workplaces I’m familiar with don’t have those issues. Made up narrative.
Keep Your courage strong girl, I don't even hide my Autism in public buildings, it's my need of clarification people have hated through my daily life, not my true attitude. The thing I carefully show leaders is even if I must do this public task obeying some certain rules doesn't mean you're smarter than me, but I do it the calm way showing my abilities people don't expect me to have due to Autism.
Umm another unpopular truth… I'm WHITE and I've had that at almost every job. I even got fired for refusing to have S* with the one Black male supervisor who got a whole department fired when they told on him and apparently many white women before that got fired for the same thing with the same Black Man. Not everything you think is race, is race. A lot of the time it's just sh* people. Plain and simple.
And don't send me any bad mojo because I return it upon you a thousand fold. JS.
If you must 'dumb yourself down' in the workplace, you should be 'smart' enough to start your own business.

Some folks aren't pretending to 'dumb themselves down ' !
I had a white woman on my job tell me how intimidating I am. I knew that I was just surprised she said it out loud
Actually Ive them folks dumb themselves down around black people to appear to be “down”
It’s not a one way street.
By far, your most inspirational video I've heard. I'm in corporate leadership and a 6 figure earner and ready to walk away from it for my own rental property business. 5 star content!
They use all science and think tanks by all races against us.
Absolutely true! When I was in the US Army I was told by my superior(that's what they called them, back then) to tell senior leader- it's their idea is the only way they would accept it and I witnessed them get credit for our ideas(especially the young and naive).
