All remember that the goal of this group:
- is to help others understand YOU
- to help YOU understand OTHERS.
- our highest goal is full understanding of the each other leading to empathy

It’s unlikely that you would change another’s mind via this forum

From the Moderator....

Week 1: July 19 to July 25

Anyone else keeping an eye on the hearings and thinking that if this would have been Obama instead of Trump, they would have already had him locked up?

From the Moderator:

How do we feel about Joe Biden:

(A) Declaring before hand that his VP would be a woman
(B) Selecting a black woman

Should organizations take similar action? For example declaring that their next CEO will be a woman.


All views welcome

I created this group because: there are both black and white people afraid to say what they really think. I see this as a problem because unless we can say what we truly feel we can’t identify differences and come to genuine solutions.

Suggested Format is we will deal with 1 question or topic per week. The question will be from participants. I will try to simply be a host, moderator and translator. We will lay out some ground rules to make it safe for all. I will enforce these.

Purpose of this group:

- A Place for everyone (black,white,other POC) to share agreeing AND disagreeing views on racial topics

- Format will be one topic each week. Please reply to this pinned post with topic suggestions.

- Moderator will put up topic weekly and be watching to promote respectful and engaging conversations including ensuring popular and unpopular opinions are welcomed.

JOIN US! converse with us, agree and disagree with us, learn with us... your voice is needed.

Is it culturally racist to be against cultural artifacts that are counter to your values? For example glorification of murder in outlaw southern rock, heavy metal, or some hip hop.

From the Moderator:

Week 3: August 2 to August 9

Question of the week

Pretend You’re an NBA player...

(A) Would you stand for the national anthem or kneel?
(B) How would you feel about your other players standing or kneeling?

As a reminder our goal on this bowl is to fully understand other people’s POV and to share your POV effectively so it’s fully understood. So that empathy can happen...not necessarily to change someone else’s mind. This may or may not happen.

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.
