Survey data from pollsters such as Gallup and Barna suggests that, in general, whites tend to think race relations are better today, and that blacks and whites disagree sharply about the effect and degree of unfair treatment based on race. What may be important to you may not be as important to someone of another race. A white person may think of race and equality as social justice issues, but to African Americans these are issues of survival. This is not a category this is what I deal with every day. I may be discriminated against in some way, and not because of my gender because of my color.
Culture is like software to a computer.
When our software is different, communication becomes difficult. The great news is software can be changed and updated. All you have to do is put new information in, and that s as easy as learning about another person s world. Don t talk to a race. Talk to a person.
