Racism Laundering
from Orchid Blooms Podcast · host Orchid Brown
This episode explores racism laundering, the process by which racist harm is repackaged through professionalism, policy, and “neutral” language so it can continue without being named. Building on the themes from Weaponization of Black History, this conversation breaks down why many Black people and people of color avoid using the word racism in professional spaces, how workplace abuse gets universalized, and how proximity to diversity is often used as protection rather than accountability.
