Summary of Robert Livingston's The Conversation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was invited to conduct an antibias workshop with a department of employees located in Appalachia that was roughly 98 percent male, 99 percent White, and 100 percent rural. I was worried that the attendees would not relate to me, given our differences in background. But they ended up becoming very comfortable with me and called me Doc. #2 The next day, the group was more somber as they discussed the answers they received the day before.
Some were annoyed, while others were sheepish. But it was clear that facts had been absorbed and learning had taken place. #3 The tension between the desire for greater equity and inclusion among some executives, and the perception among many employees and middle managers that there is no discrimination in the company, is common in most corporate diversity training sessions. #4 There is a large segment of the White American population that believes that Whites are being discriminated against more than Blacks.
And many believe that racism is a zero-sum game, meaning that the decrease in discrimination against Blacks means the increase in discrimination against Whites.
