>>The concept is called upward-suasion
If it was only just that, its actually a lot more that. You have prove that you have un-blackened yourself. Dissociate from your communities, and have renounced the community's ways(so-called).
More like the other side needs to be made to feel you are one among them.
It's a soul crushing exercise. Its undoing of one's identity. And it's very humiliating to undergo all this.
- tcoff91 8y agoThat’s awful that you have to go through that.
- yourbandsucks 8y agoIf it makes you feel any better, corporate culture is soul-crushing to anyone with a soul. Which isn't to devalue your experience - speech patterns in particular are likely an area where you have to code-switch much more drastically than, say, northern whites.

Dissociate from your communities, and have renounced the community's ways(so-called). You have just described my entire professional life. It feels great to know I'm not alone in this boat. Much empathy for you and what you're going through at the moment. > Dissociate from your communities, and have renounced the community's ways(so-called) This is one of the core reasons why I'm seriously considering starting my own company.
