Chapter 8

Article Summary: In this article they are talking about colored women in work areas. They have done research and a surveys asking how they have been treated and their experiences in the work industry. It points out the discrimination against colored women. It makes me wonder why if we all have seem racism, we all know it exists why can’t we stop it? I think more articles like these need to be shared so people can understand the struggle these hardworking women are going through. This article shows a survey study and these were the results: “For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 60 black women are
40% of black women have had their judgment questioned in their area of expertise; 27% of men have
Only 35% of black women said their manager promotes their contributions to others; 46% of men said their manager does
41% of black women said they never have had substantive interaction with a senior leader about their work; just 27% of men said that….according to the U.S. Census bureau, while a full-time working woman earned about 80 cents for every dollar a man did, full-time working black women earned only 67 cents for every dollar.”(Forbes)

Compare: in chapter eight we talked about inequality towards colored women. I’d like to compare this article to our discussion about racism. It is sad to see that colored people are still being mistreated today especially in the work place. These women have worked so hard to get their degree and job and they should be rewarded like everyone else. Gender or race should not be seen when dealing with promotions, pay, or in a job interview. In the work place they should all be seen equal and be able to prove themselves in the job? But If they don’t get the opportunity how will that happen? These women need to be given more credit in what they do in order to get our work place more equal. To fix this problem first we need people to be aware of it, and to see results of surveys like this, to open there eyes and get them to be more equal in the work industry.
