Racial tension, racially related cruelty, racially inspired violence "must end" shouts millions of protestors during May and June 2020. White-skinned Americans need to listen to the realities of cruelty facing dark-skinned American. Eden Warner, successful Corporate leader, entrepreneur, new author, devoted family man and African American helps us listen and understand the centuries of racial violence and the recent protests. Complexities of the past will bleed into our future attempts to create equality that is equal, fairness that is fair, and justice that is justice for ALL. More we understand these complexities of racial differences, cultural diversity, and human uniqueness, the more we will be able to create a functional society. The feverish nature of antagonistic nonPotus idiotic remarks that divide and inflame now need to be countered with tempered explanations and guidance that create synergism without a loss of individuality.  Eden Warner, a previous guest, speaks from experience, from the heart, and with the reality to all how care to stop what happened to Mr. George Floyd and thousands like him subjected to cruelty, injustice, and racial terrorism.  Join host Dr. Carol Francis for this pithy and compassionate conversation with Mr. Eden Warner.

Brutal murder of George Floyd deserves an uprising of all people, an uprising against racially driven brutality and cruel inhumane disrespect. Since May 25, 2020, marches and riots occupy cities across USA, some peaceful, others violent and destructive. Some looters are not part of the meaningful marches and seem driven by greed, or worse yet GOP tricksters rousing up more racial intolerance and resentment. Our Nation needs deep repair of damages caused by the hate-messages of antagonistic Trumpisms, White Supremacists, and cruel greediness. These grievances against people of dark skin extend much farther than our current political debacles, however. For centuries, our society has needed to recalibrate over and over again. It needs to reshape its social structures until humane respect is uniform across skin color. How do we help this movement however without destroying what good exists in the businesses and homes of ordinary well-meaning people? How do white people help? How does media need to help.  How do voters need to help. Guests today include highly educated and conscientious individuals who have some ideas for each of us to consider.  Join Dr. Carol Francis and her guests for a pithy, respectful, and soul searching conversation.  We can not be passive! We need to be constructive. But how? Video: https://youtu.be/Nqv9k3jbtYU
