I’m with you Erica. This is one part of history that shouldn’t repeat itself. Thanks for adding to the convo!

I’ve always heard that history repeats itself. Unfortunately this issue isn’t an exception. I’m in my early 20s and i can tell that there has been an uprising with this issue. Its unfortunate but true.

Everyone should learn to appreciate our differences. Thanks for posting.

The Detroit area, where I live and work, is one of the most racially divided areas in the country, thanks to a whole laundry list of reasons.

But I was encouraged by reading your post today, and then going to a seminar on strategic change management hosted by my local SHRM chapter. Of the 100 or so attendees, it was a pretty ethnically diverse bunch. We had lots of men AND women, and many of the women were African-American. There were no African-American men, but things are definitely changing. I think a lot of that has to do with an economy that has thrown everyone together on the bread line – or a step away.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

@RMSJr. – Agreed. In order to listen, you have to open your mind to what the other person has to say. Thanks for commenting!

@Grace – Thanks for commenting. Sounds like you work at a pretty cool place.

I agree with you. That is one of my favorite things about where I work. We are incredibly diverse as a whole.
