A Vancouver-based leader of Black Lives Matter has taken to Twitter in an attempt to expose the concepts of "reliability" and "loyalty" as part of "capitalist white supremacy" that must be resisted and rejected.
Cicily Belle Blain, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Vancouver, explained her theory to Twitter followers in a thread that takes on the hateful concept of doing a job "well."
"I want to problematize the concepts of 'reliability' and 'loyalty' as desirable qualities in an employee. It's part of capitalist white supremacy to believe that people should love their job or do it with enthusiasm, or even do it consistently 'well' if their needs are not met ...
"'Reliable' is code for follows colonial notions of time, puts job above all else, is unhindered by factors like systemic racism, must work to a consistent high standard (set by white able bodied middle class ppl) with stoicism, 'the customer is always right'...
"No average person is being paid enough for this to be a fair trade off / in an anti-capitalist alternative no amount of money should be traded for mental + physical health, community, family, morals, identity, sovereignty."

You did not get where you are because you worked hard everyday, were reliable and honest, found new ways to improve operations, and all that stuff.
You only got to where you are because you are white.
In Obamas words, You didnt build that!
Her views are not even unique.

I’m really beginning to think that there really are reasons for bias and generalities.
This is satire, correct?
“Problematize”...is that a word?
