What the Media Forgot to Report on Jena


I hope the media will spot and report the real story behind Jena, Louisiana – because it affects all of us ... and business benefits are far more than you may think. Check out the video to see tension in Jena’s story ... played out in yours. Does the media get it? Do you? Diverse.png

When thousands of Jena marchers hit their mark today, I hope they’ll create racial respect where you and I work…. For that reason I’m asking both marchers and media 5 two-footed questions.

1. Are you marching with a war or peace plan in mind for all people?
2. Do you bring winning solutions and the guts to inspire others to try these?
3. Will you model tone today to turn differences into deep respect for all humans?
4. Will you vent today, or build a new legacy of trust and care and collaboration?
5. Would you consider powerful prosperity in Ireland now as a result of peace?

Hopefully somebody will answer my questions in a way that helps us progress together. Oh… by the way … racism's not what we’ve been told either. In reality, the human brain is shaped literally by every action we do ... and rewires daily for more of the same. What if today’s march for Jena shaped the coming together of positive differences where you work? 

I hope marchers check out out racism pools in the human brain... before they begin, though. What do you think?

Thanks for the post, Ellen. Racial and gender discrimination really hamper a person and their ability to reason and grow. I really hope such incidences in our country help more than they destruct.

Thanks for stopping by and for your insights, Dan. I have a question though. What do you visualize could narrow the gap between respecting differences and subtly discriminating in modern workplaces? Thoughts?
