Racism & Sexism in the workplace

I was born what some may describe to be a double sided sword. I am an African American Women in a male dominated economic society. As decades have pass women have seen doors open, yet very slowly, on their dreams to own or be a head of a monumental company. On the other hand doors have opened slowly for African Americans as well as women but far much slower than usual. When combined with both of these identities the prospects of being choosing for some opportunities are slim. Michelle Obama opened the door for Black women politically but she alone will not diminish the struggle that has happened for decades to come. Racism in the workplace specifically in some ways may be unrecognizable. Emphasis should be put on how mere instances such as making stereotypical comments about someone's religion based on their race can be seen as racism. What can also be noted is the reason behind women being denied specific occupations. on the other hand notes should be taken on men also being denied a position based on them males, such a being a nurse, or waitress.
