For more than 10 years, some Basecamp employees maintained an open list of customer names that sounded “funny” to them.

Last year, amid a broader reckoning over diversity and inclusion, that list didn’t seem quite so funny any more. And employees wanted to talk about it.

A new vision or inspiration is often preceded by a trial by fire. Before any growth comes the pain of change. For leaders working through DEI issues, this pain can feel particularly acute. It may seem safe to retreat. We saw a retreat today....

#BASECAMP wants to stop paternalism. Employees who want to know what is acceptable political discussion at the company should simply ask the two white guys who made all of these changes. Because daddy knows best.

"The category 'white' was developed in large measure to deny social or political equality to Black people, identifying with that category seems to put you in the business of maintaining white supremacy. " #racism #antiracism #outofprivilege #whitesupremacy
