    Shame is an outstanding social change tool. Trump is supremely popular with a certain segment because he lacks it. He enhances a lack of shame in his worshipers. It's good your not one.

    No he’s probably talking about the isolation from their peers that they feel. I also see it happen where others assume a black coworker has a menial position and then act surprised that a black coworker is a qualified professional.

    Our manager of our IT department at work is black. He’s 6’7” with Dreds and two gold eye teeth and tattoos all over his arms. He has an IT degree from Stanford but talks, shall we say black urban, in casual conversation. The guy is brilliant.

    I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the white preppy types make complete asses of themselves talking to him. They talk to him either like he’s a six year old or a janitor. The worst part is they don’t realize they’re being dicks. He ignores them of course but you can tell it bothers him.

    Sooooo, when's Don Lemon getting fired?

    Did you know Cesar Chavez referred to illegal Mexican aliens as "wetbacks"? He did, back in the day, when Democrats actually cared about illegal immigration.

    Hospital worker fired after wearing Confederate shirt with noose to polls

    A hospital worker from Mississippi went viral this week — and is now jobless — thanks to his outfit choice on Election Day.
    Clayton Hickey, of Olive Branch, thought it would be a good idea to wear a Confederate flag T-shirt with a noose and the words “Mississippi Justice” emblazoned on the front.

    Is there a class white people can take to learn not to be so white?

    they are people like you who don't think they are racist but are racists

    He opposed illegal immigration, and referred to illegal Mexican aliens as wetbacks. Period, end of story.

    Not a class per se, just getting out and living a full life works wonders.

    I’ll forgive the sarcasm but these differences exist in any situation where groups of different backgrounds need to work cooperatively. The greater the disparity between groups in numbers the greater the sense of isolation and alienation the minority stake holders feel.

    So yea... there is training, planning and strategies that can be implemented to improve awareness and change behavior.

    How do you think I know this? It’s from training I received at work that all employees, including senior management take.

    I’ve certainly never thought of myself as racist and I doubt that my marriage to an Asian woman would have lasted 14 years if I were but in terms of understanding what behaviors can be offensive and which are not I learned a lot from that training at work.

    I don't disagree. My last firm had maybe 30 people but at least 8 were from different countries. We were like the U.N. We had one black girl in the group. Her team consisted of seven people. She was American and the rest were from either India or the Middle East. But to your point lots of different cultures coming together.

    Can "sensitivity training" make people more aware? I don't know, having gone through multiple sessions of it I'm skeptical but maybe studies show they work.
