Done

I am burnt out.  I knew what I was walking into with working for RAD Services, AND I did not realise just how deep the racist and discriminatory waters were.  This is like a whole 'nother level.  Ad I'm not even about keeping up appearances anymore, cause I make minimum wages--I'd need at least another $10/hr plus dental and vision to handle all of their shit.

So I'm going into survival mode, and... disengaging.  With the white folks I work with, who are so blindly ignorant and racist I'm surprised they manage not to spew racial slurs with every other word.  Oh wait, they spew ablelist and xenophobic shit instead!!  :throws shade:   With the light-skin poc who just can't understand certain (read: most) elements of what I face as a dark-skinned Black person.  Throw in my trans* identity and I might as well be speaking a Dead language.

I am still amazed every day at the new and innovative ways that casual racism, homophobia, trans*phobia, xenophobia are enacted in this workplace.  White people of the Pacific Northwest are their own special type of ignorant white folks.  Cause they sure as hell know when they're doing racist shit where I'm from.  Once again I will say I'd much rather see the Confederate flag flying in your yard and know not to walk into your house, rather than be invited inside and have to endure the condescending covert racism of these psuedo-liberals.
