Abstract
Recently, higher education and student affairs entities have been engaged in conversations about racism and White supremacy in meaningful and material ways. Through this chapter, we suggest that conversations around anti- Black racism are either peripheral to or simply nonexistent in the student affairs racism discourse. We offer a story from a mid-level administrator who had to manage anti-Black sentiments and behavior from student affairs professionals of color (POCs). In addition, we offer our musings on the implications of those ideas and beliefs. Conceptual considerations for a critical framework that centers the pervasiveness of anti-Blackness and its implications for student affairs are suggested along with strategies to persist.Â
