e are living intempestuoustimes. Tem-pers are flaringover issues re-

lated to politics, race,and gender almosthourly across socialmedia.While most agree these issues aren’t appropriate to

discuss at work, they inevitably do come up. However,in order to keep the peace with their co-workers ofcolor, it’s probably a good idea if our white colleaguestread lightly on matters that are really emotional andof consequence to the black community.Or, at the very least use the common sense they

were born with and not speak on black issues or useoffensive language altogether in the office.We asked our audience to post across Black Enter-

prise’s social media accounts things white peopleshould never say to their black co-workers. We were flooded with some great suggestions. The

below list contains the most repeated offenses our au-dience cited and our favorites.If you are white and reading this; be advised, any it-

eration of the below phrases will give you at the least,the side-eye from your black colleague.Here are 27 things white people should never say

to their black colleagues (posted verbatim from oursocial media streams):1. You look like the girl, or you remind me of the girl,

or I was thinking about you when I watched the girl on[blank] television last night. #reallytho#wealldonot-lookalike2. If so and so can do it (another black person) then

I know you can.3. You mean you don’t wash your hair every day???4. “I’m scared to get pulled over too.”5. Years ago, I told my boss I went to a non-denom-

inational church she goes “you’re not BAPTIST!? Ithought black people were Baptist!?”6. I went to the beach the entire weekend and look,

I’m almost as dark as you!7. You’re different, not like them, the other ones…8. “You all”9. You go, girl10. I love NWA11. Anything that ends with the term “girlfriend”

when you’re not referencing a woman you’re dating.12. “All Lives Matter – not just black people.”13. Any phrase starting with, “So, do black people…

”14. “So do you take those out at night? ” “Like how

do you wash your hair?”15. OMG, I’m taking a trip to Africa!” has never en-

gaged in convo before but feels the need to share16. We’re all discriminated against.17. I don’t understand why you need to go to a legal

conference for black women. If we had a legal conference for white men there

would be an issue18. I have a white co-worker that dates black men.

Her and her boyfriend at the time we’re having issues.So, she was venting to me about him and called hima nigger. Nigger this. Nigger that. After regaining my compo-

sure, I asked, her why does she think it’s OK to saynigger in my presence, she replied that she should geta pass because she acts black, dates black, and con-siders herself black.19. Telling you that you’re best friends with the only

other black person that just started on the job whenyou’ve never met them a day in your life.20. This happened to my co-worker who is black:

Male Co-worker: I want you to be nice today… notsassy21. When they say something negative about black

people and then say, “Not you but…”22. “You have to understand Trump”23. NFL players shouldn’t take a knee24. You’re the prettiest black girl I’ve ever seen,”

says the intern25. Yo,” “Word,” and “Whattup” as a greeting when-

ever greeting their black co-workers as Ron down thehall does every time he sees me. I’m not reciprocatingthat foolishness.26. You should join our company basketball team.

(They[‘ve] never seen you play.)27. Are you real black?” The idiot meant are both of

my parents black. Editor’s Note: This article originallypublished November 2017

Article courtesy of BridgeTower Media via “TheRundown” Meetings are over for the

day, and it's starting to looklike a relatively stress-free

mid afternoon on a hump dayleading into a holiday week-end. As you settle in to your

desk, your smartphonebuzzes with an incoming text

message."Remember to pick up beer

for the picnic before the Fri-day rush."

You answer it and notice afew headlines flashing withballgame scores and newsflashes. No real project coming due,

so what the heck, why notclick in for a closer look at theinformation.It's also hard to miss the

waiting notifications for newmessages on your socialmedia channels. May as well respond to

those, too. Checking Insta-

gram, too, but "for just aminute." And why not seewhat everyone is talkingabout on Twitter.Before you know it, it's past

5 p.m. and you wonder wherethe time went.That's the way it is in the

jungle of digital distractions, anetherworld of tempting infor-mation at your fingertips thatcan't possibly be ignored,even at the expense of slack-ing off on the job.Every day in millions of

American workplaces, digitaldistractions such as smart-phones, social media andsurfing the internet curb con-centration and productivity,experts say. But they also say it's almost

impossible and not good pol-icy to completely crack downon these digital forays, and,besides, the distractionscould foster workplace cre-ativity and solutions."It makes for a better

worker, a happier person,"David Brandes, chief informa-tion officer at Moravian Col-lege in Bethlehem, said ofdigital access at work.

Common Council authorizes sale of site planned for ‘restaurant classroom’ The Common Council unanimously passed recently a resolution au-

thorizing the sale of a north side property to Michael Feker who plansopening a full-service restaurant along with a teaching component foraspiring restauranteurs and chefs. Chef Feker will pay $10,000 for the City of Milwaukee-owned, tax

deed property at 5650 W. Fond du Lac Ave. He anticipates approxi-mately $250,000 in renovations are required for the 2,500 square footproperty. Through his employment, he will train workers the ins-and-outs of

restaurant operations including cooking, finance, serving and manage-ment.“I applaud Chef Feker for his vision and welcome him to the 7th Dis-

trict,” said Alderman Khalif J. Rainey, lead sponsor of the resolution. “AsMilwaukee’s culinary scene continues to grow, this project will providecareer opportunities for the students there while providing a communityeatery serving the neighborhood.”Ald. Rainey added the site has been underutilized for quite some time.

The City acquired the property on November 16, 2015 through propertytax foreclosure. Prior to Common Council’s action today, the measure (file #180315)

had been unanimously recommended for approval by the Zoning,Neighborhoods and Development Committee on June 12.

Boss Baby: What happenswhen you work for someone much younger?Article courtesy of Forbes via “The Rundown”Many articles will tell you how to attract, recruit and retain millennials,

but few people are prepared to be managed by millennials. Millennials are now the largest working generation in the United

States, and they're quickly rising to the top. I lead a group of sales lead-ers from a diverse background of cultures, ages, geographical locationsand years of experience. One thing they all have in common? A millen-nial boss.Personally, it was a bit awkward for me when I moved into manage-

ment positions. Would people take me seriously? Should I be thefriendly boss or do I need to be tough and assert my new authority?The conventional workplace is being turned upside down by millennial

managers and this can lead to conflict between millennial managersand their direct reports when there is a lack of communication and un-derstanding between the different generations.Talking about age in the workplace is not very common, and until re-

cently it probably was not necessary. I find myself having conversations(continued on page 4)

with my employees about my work style and why it is essential for us tounderstand our expectations of each other. Here are the highlights fromthat conversation:

I Won't Apologize For Having A Short Attention Span I am here to support and guide you, but I won't listen to boring ideas.

More than ever, sales leaders have to be creative and innovative, soforgive me if I don't listen when you tell me about planning the sameevent that every other competitor is planning.

Embrace Technology (And Change) Technology gets a bad reputation sometimes, but when used appro-

priately it can make sales leaders more efficient. However, don't getused to that same old customer relationship management (CRM) soft-ware. I will change technology at the drop of a hat if it helps us achievebetter results.

OPEN LETTER TO OUR READERS Milwaukee Community Journal is an actual brick and mortar building, not just an online en-tity.

Since our origin in 76, we've moved withour audience. Today our readers are pre-dominantly millennials, 18-40 years of age,shakers and movers, the buyers! They arebuying homes, cars, raising families. Theyare eating “fresh,” active in politics, exer-cising and partying.

Our readers find us in print, with ourtwice-weekly editions in tenured retail out-lets, churches and selective distributionspots. But they also read us online at mil-waukeecommunityjournal.com We,re inthis to win this! We're dynamic....crispclear....interactive...and to be honest - ex-ploding with information that you want toread! We're perfect for new and established ad-

vertisers! We want more local interactionand community written articles. We want tooffer more millennial access to a provencommunity source. This is who we are, but one thing is still

deep on our hearts, and that is you’ve gotto join our team. You're the community part of the Milwau-

kee community journal. Let's build to-gether!-- Speech Thomas, The MilwaukeeCommunity Journal, Wisconsin’s LargestAfrican-American Newspaper.
