Thinking Back, A lot Black Women Move Like Tyra Banks, When In Position of Authority

Hearing a lot of takes of Tyra Banks behavior, when mentally insecure women (or emotional men) are given authority, the results of Top Model is pretty much the standard of workplace abuse.

Maybe people these type of Black women get jealous or triggered but, when you mix authority, the unwillingness to listen when lacking expertise, and the business favorite: not paying after thousands of work hours have been done, many Black women have this terrible pattern of wanting to be the Boss Bxtch, but fail to actually execute the tasks.

For women, the idea of being nurturing comes to mind, but you don’t get that with these types. They sabotage winning projects when the invoice (or credit) is due, they nit pick not because they have high standards, but because they want to “humble” people they find threatening to their career.

As Black women have had over 30 years of workplace equity improvement, alot of these types use the notion of sisterhood on unsuspecting women. Professionals who try to warn women of these types usually get berated about being sexist but it’s time to stop treating the Black women in the business world as a sacred cow, especially it’s she’s terrorizing everyone, specifically other Black people.

Disfunctionally Protected

There has been a bit of a stronghold on pointing out these unprofessional antics, as being “against Black women.” But when people are fortunate to work with the highly skilled, there is a different kind of vibe to the room when a Black women’s capability supercedes her insecurity.

When she spreads gossip about women to triangulate, it’s always a Black man, or capable women that catch strays, turning people against the ones she knows has clocked her tyranny. This type knows when someone, especially someone Black is on to her and is willing to ruin another Black people’s career to simply protect the cheap lies she constantly lives in. Sociopath shit.

Terroristic Acts

Much of Black progress succumbs to this type of woman. And she knows the goal is to lure people in to get free stuff, free labor, and then practice sociopath level psychological abuse to train other women, “they need them,” no different than an abusive man.

In business they use the idea of oppression to make women feel they can relate. But, the problem these women don’t have a strong track record of successful surroundings. When “success” women have a trail of failed projects and people around them, just the narrative of who they present, it’s time to accept they’re scammers.

They weaponize women’s lack of respect in business to trick them into agreements based on solidarity. Yet, when the other person excels above and beyond, these women gaslight value contributors, not just to break them like they’re on a sorority line, but to stretch out complaints simply to delay payments they usually were not prepared to ever pay.

Tactics

Its important to know many Black women have purposely not been trained to protect themselves in business. Colleges have unfortunately brainwashed Black women that academia success translates to the business world, and it doesn’t. Academia trains Black women to be servants to a system. Due to this, many Black women learn and even become conditioned to abuse in college. So when they try those tactics in the workplace or in business, shit is cringe how crazy they move.

They are aggressively hardheaded because academia (usually white serving) told them it was okay. And that really helps them validate, “this is how they have to move to survive.”

To recognize these types of business-work abusive women, consider the following tactics:

• They start talking real slick to people who should be peers not subordinates
• Too many stories about how THEY paid someone for work they didn’t feel was done correctly
• They’re aggressive or extremely defensive when receiving professional recommendations
• They refuse to answer emails or provide clarity on project deliverables
• They see the idea of intakes as ignorance or being incapable
• They want to meet in a restaurant (not even a coffee shop)
• Their social media is a lot of back and forth over celebrity gossip or stan culture
• People you respect, that know them have NOTHING to say about them (not even bad or good)
• They have terrible stories about other people, never any good news or encounters in business
• They will try to get you to chat on the phone for hours barely getting to the project needs (usually to drain you)

It’s best for Black women in business, even more than the workplace to see any business opportunity as a man they’re trying to date. If the other person is operating in ways you wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable with as a man, those gut instincts will never lie.

Workplace relationships need to be translated as a family gathering. If you need that job for financial security, you gotta start going back to how you’ve been trained to operate around an abusive Aunt or sibling. Distance and document is your only weapon.

For men, you will get sued, lied on and even have your reputation put in a bad situation. These women will paint men as abuser when they’re exposed so, it’s even more important to notice these behaviors to separate business from pleasure.

If your working with a Black women who finds nothing wrong with obvious problems that need to be addressed, watch them. Sure things can go wrong for any and everything but, Black women making a big deal on some Belle Collective vibe, turning anything into an assassination attempt, even before the project gets out of hand, it’s a hard no. As nice as they present, they might be too crazy and unstable to build anything, let alone a professional and healthy environment for business.
