Day 23 Toxic Elements of White Culture 30 Days of Racial and Disabled Justice

toxic elements of white culture

White-dominant culture operates as a social mechanism granting advantages to white people, because they can navigate society both by feeling normal and being viewed as normal.  What “normal” elements of your organizational culture are toxic? Here are a few examples:

  1. Worship of the Written Word
  2. Right to Comfort
  3. Binary Thinking 
  4. Fear of Open Conflict
  5. Power Hoarding
