26Findings from the survey suggest some commonalities and
distinct differences across races. For example:
Whites and Blacks who participated in the survey
shared similar perceptions towards the state of race
relations.
Nearly ½ of all Black and White respondents believe
race relations are getting worse.
Alternatively, survey responses indicate disparities in
how Blacks and Whites experience race and feel
understood in the workplace.
Fifty­three percent (53%) of Blacks believe their
co­workers have little to no understanding of their
feelings around recent events.
Whereas, 75% of Whites believe they somewhat or fully
understand their coworkers' feelings.
33With these findings, it is clear that dialogue needs to be
a priority in workplaces, families and educational
institutions.
