Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace: A Guide for Equity and Inclusion
Your DEIJ efforts are stagnating because you continue to center whiteness. Creating a truly anti-racist organization requires learning how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace.
Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever.
Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness.

I gained some new insights and valuable reminders . I especially appreciate the ending statement that "urgency is an aspect of white culture". The desire to do everything all at once is not productive, the work must be conscientious.

As a black man I find this book once again puts the blame on the white person for being white instead of accepting that it is the 21st century and we all get equal chances
