Every single day I witness racist leadership at organizations digging the graves of the organizations, all the while confidently believing they are helping the organizations.
Then when things implode, because they always do, that racist leader will do everything to save themselves, at the cost of the organization and all of its members.
Do not for a second trust a racist leader. They do not care about you or the organization.
Remember that naming racist leaders gives them one less place to hide.
Racist leaders will always take credit for the non-racist things that happened to happen during their term, while completely ignoring the deleterious racism they caused.
Racism will help racists in any scenario.
At the cost of literal lives.
For too long, racism at organizations has been enabled and protected at its highest layers. By boards, policies, donors, legacies, and leadership.
Do not let white dominance continue to thrive.
Do not let it even survive.
NOTE: It’s not always leadership of course that reinforces racism, but this post is about leadership.
