Diversity Training

I felt the need to wait and let the " Diversity Training " sink in.

This is really all I will say about it. The conversations that were started there were important. Do I think anything will come of it? No. The power structure at Ye Olde is such that it would not benefit them to actually implement any kind of actual changes.

There were some in Senior Staff who couldnt handle the fact that the "others" , the regular staff members could see the truth about the situation. The fact that the top four people in the organization are white, over 40, highly educated, gay and male. One Senior Staffer blew his top when that was written down and the whole group agreed. As if some how it was untrue! LOL That sort of sums up the day.

Human beings all like to think that they are open minded and that they dont behave with any bias. We all want to think we see the world for what it is - but we see things the way we want them to be. It happens all the time. All we can do is try to be open. We can try to do better.

I dont know that there is anything that can be done at Ye Olde. I can only pray for those in power and for those of us who work day to day. That's the best I can do.
