My partner and I were just discussing how a lot of Black people don't have the education around anti-Semitism to fully get why Nick Cannon's rant was messed up. So let me be your Black & Jewish educational fairy godmother

3/ Instead of “Hey @rcmpgrcpolice RCMP, does racism exist?” Try: "Hey RCMP. Can you point to me when exactly in your history, you departed from your literal original purpose of terrorizing Black & Indigenous communities, and if you have not done this, can you justify why?"

One thing I’ve learned from writing this book is that people are uncomfortable with the notion that women & girls never have to take responsibility for men abusing, harassing, raping and killing them. People like the ‘no victim blaming’ message until they realise what it means.

Sigh. Speaker: "it's a safe assumption my mom isn't a software engineer" Is it? Why? Lots of moms are software engineers. 😬

When you expect your Head of Diversity to champion/market your company as the best place to work for underrepresented people without real change, know that that burden can feel oppressive. Work to close the cognitive dissonance first, then authentic advocacy will follow.
