“…There is a growing body of autoethnographic research that addresses issues of race in educational organizations which include solo and collaborative autoethnographies of women of color (James-Gallaway and Turner, 2021; Minnett et al, 2019; Overstreet, 2019; Rodriguez, 2009; Rodriguez and Boahene, 2012; Rodriguez et al, 2012; Suriel et al, 2018) as well as works by men of color (Squire et al, 2018), white men (Collins, 2017; McGill et al, 2020), and white women (Ellison and Langhout, 2016) that discuss raced aspects of organizational behavior in educational organizations. Additionally, some researchers have published research that uses multipositional autoethnography to explore differences in experience that cross the Black-white color line (Bohonos and Duff, 2020; Johnson-Bailey and Cervero, 2004, 2008) There remains, however, significant gaps in relation to autoethnographic research that foregrounds race in organizational contexts outside of education.…”

The #BlackLivesMatter movement has been met with resistance and hostility by many whites who do not see the need for assertions regarding the value and worth of Black lives. Those who seek to disrupt this emerging discourse tend to regard instances of white violence against Black people as individual incidents that do not reflect larger societal patterns. This paper addresses these assertions by drawing on discussions of slurs and other racially abusive language in the workplace. Using autoethnography, I provide rich descriptions of how hateful language circulates in whitespaces through both interpersonal interactions and through group-level consumption of racially problematic mass media creating organizations that are hostile to people of color, even in their absence. Major implications of this study include that the devaluation of Black and Native lives is pervasive within many predominantly white organizations and that this reality negatively effects both the life chances and the personal safety of people of color.

“…In response, we began a project enabling us to compare our Black and white observations about race. This approach builds on research that explores differentiated experiences between women of color and white women (Childers & hooks, 1990), and Black men (hooks & West, 2016), and white men (hooks, 1994; Johnson–Bailey & Cervero, 2008), as well as comparisons between the organizational experiences of ethnically diverse men of color (Squire et al, 2018) and women of color (Rodriguez & Boahene, 2012; Rodriguez et al, 2012).…”

Racism continues to permeate American society and brings about social injustice as it privileges whites while marginalizing people of color. The endemic nature of racism identified by critical race theorists suggests that all American organizations are plagued by this social ill, yet very little research in human resource development explores racism in organizational settings. The purpose of this paper is to use participant observations of white and Black researchers to document how white-dominated leadership deploys procedural rules and microaggressions to marginalize Black participants in a small urban municipal government setting and the ways members of the Black community work to resist racial marginalization. K E Y W O R D S human resource development, local politics, racism, small urban, whitenessRacism continues to permeate American society (Bell, 1992;Dixson & Anderson, 2018) and brings about social injustice as it privileges whites while marginalizing people of color (POC) (Bonilla-Silva, 2014;Delgado & Stefancic, 2017;DiAngelo, 2018). Human resource development (HRD) research has been critiqued for failing to adequately address issues of race (Bohonos, 2019;Johnson, 2019;Rocco et al., 2014). The endemic nature of racism identified by critical race theorists suggests that all American organizations are plagued by this social ill, yet very little research in HRD explores racism in organizational settings.Emergent scholarship is calling for a greater emphasis on social justice in HRD research (Bohonos et al., 2019;Byrd, 2018;Collins, 2019), which requires more attention be paid to the effect of racism on organizational practice. Additionally, Sparkman (2019) suggests that there is an imbalance in the HRD diversity literature in which theoretical research is much more prevalent than empirical studies and calls for an additional empirical work to aid in the development and refinement of HRD diversity theory. BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH QUESTIONSAs first-and second-year doctoral students in HRD, the researchers formed a friendship based on a shared interest in research on racial justice. As our relationship grew, we noted perspectives from our respective positionalities, Black man and white man, were lacking in the field's research about race. In response, we began a project enabling us to compare our Black and white observations about race. This approach builds on research that explores differentiated experiences between women of color and white women (Childers & hooks, 1990), and Black men (hooks
