ESRL asks: Is it possible to do undress RACISM camouflage at work place?

ESRL has constructed the topical question from two trajectories: a Don Juan Manuel (1282-1348)fable ‘The Emperor is naked’, about loyal workers who rather than lose their jobs by telling the truth, hoodwinked the Emperor to believe ‘His Majesty’ was well-dressed whereas he was naked.  A Lorenz (1952) biological observation to quote: ‘species of geese follow, as it if were their mother, the first moving object they encounter upon breaking their shells, and they continue to do so even when they are confronted by their real mother’.

In the context of ‘The Emperor is naked’, non-black people camouflage their everyday RACISM / RACE-ism with a range of camouflages variously described as attire; fashion; trend; make-up, smart, uniform, hats, shoes, jewellery, adornments, etc., etc.; the greater unknown camouflage is left to GOD ‘the be-and-end of existence’.  Simply put, human are content to re-enforce their continued existence or survival with RACISM / RACE-ism camouflages whatever the consequences.

In the context of biology, ESRL asserts that non-black people camouflage their RACISM / RACE-ism with all sorts of camouflages, which their young pick up, then follow even if they find that its foolishness to do so.  The camouflage of (i) Why? knowledge to find out; (ii) How? – a capacity to find out; (iii) When? passion and need for finality.  All these are camouflages for problem solving postures, with exclusive positive outcome for non-black people.  Any accidental positive outcome by black people is qualified/underscored by negative/underhand phrases such as ‘not fit for purpose’; ‘need a second opinion’; etc., etc.

The above seedlings when planted/transplanted at work place owned by non-black people, suggests that such places are clothed with camouflages of and for RACISM / RACE-ism.  One example is token meaningful/gainful engaging of black skin people as who?? But not what they can do?  Another is benevolence as long as any single one black person does not demonstrate excellence above or beyond that of non-black people.

Equalities Act 2010 implored employers to recognise and remove all sorts of biological camouflages prevalent in work place especially those used to hide or to allow RACISM / RACE-ism to survive and thrive at work place.  The first biological camouflage is the accusing thumb that points at employers’ role in seedling, watering and harvesting from RACISM/RACE-ism at work place.

The following samples lifted from the appended readings have all the fable and biological camouflages for RACISM/RACE-ism to thrive:

“We [as politicians] should always seek to add value for our children, not take value away….”

“The talented player from Croydon, south London, also says that the governing body has starved him of publicity for his playing achievements, while lauding lesser tournament successes by white players, therefore wrecking his sponsorship opportunities…”

“Australia is made up of over 270 different cultures, speaking more than 260 languages and practising over 100 different faiths.     Yet despite this rich cultural diversity, our community sadly has been defined for much of the 20th century by the racist White Australia Policya policy that aimed to bring racially homogenous people here and keep others out…”

Jack Alecho-oita, a director at Equalities Sensitivity Rating Ltd comments as follows:

“I read somewhere that ‘there is something very rotten in the corridors of power, and there is something very sickening in the games that rulers play’;  – think of the work-place owner reflecting on this? ”

I heard somewhere that: ‘one should not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character…’ imagine this phrase being applied at a work place.”

“Reading the appended brought the above statement flooding my mind”
