Reporting Racism
In this video explore the challenges faced by black employees in organisations when they report racism. It highlights a common misconception within workplaces that racism is perpetuated by inherently bad people outside of the organisation, not within the organisation. This "bad apple" theory is critiqued for oversimplifying the problem and failing to address systemic racism. Understand the challenges, the toll and the difficulties black employees encounter in having to prove their experiences of racism to those in power, who often lack similar lived experiences. This situation places a massive burden on the victims to validate their claims in an environment where disbelief may lead to inaction. Build your understanding of the power dynamics that contribute to these challenges, especially in organisations where white individuals overwhelmingly hold senior leadership roles, and how it can perpetuate a cycle of inequality and exclusion.
