>> There's a BBQ joint in White Center you'd be comfortable with.. Mike and his staff are definitely of the dark chocolate persuasion. <<
Yeah, we lean that way for good barbecue too. I am a fan of mild to slightly spicy sweet sauces, especially fruit ones. My partner Doug likes hotter ones.
>> No it's not I have to figure out a way to make sure it's Not Okay in the workplace, too. It's *hard* when the culprit is two pay grades above you. <<
Sometimes it's possible to use corporate materials if there are some. Other times subterfuge is necessary. A highly effective tactic is supporting people at or below your level whom the management would like to wash out -- a lot of places create a hostile work environment for women and people of color, etc. You can undermine that goal just by patching the leaky pipeline with social support of those employees.
>> In *both directions*, too... as I posted elsebook, people in Turkey and Egypt were tweeting hints on dealing with tear gas and rubber bullets to the folks in Ferguson. <<
Yep, that's memorable.
>> As the OP said, there is both shame and solidarity in that.... <<
I don't feel ashamed of other people's actions. Disappointed in them, yes. But if it's not something I have the power to stop, then it's not my karma. I don't feel compelled to associate with people just because our meat looks similar. My affinity is for the brown people.
