French overutre

I dare to write some lines about a phenomenon, that cannot be correctly depicted by someone from the outside. I have never lived in the suburbs, and only had a few (tough) contacts with it.

But I feel deeply sad about a situation that grew from the early 60s, that politicians at best managed to stabilize. But here is not my point. I want to write here only about things that we, executives in a close future, could change. Something that will spur on the determination of the young underdogs from French ghettos to try their best at school, to show the way to their little brothers and to give an end to the gap between inner citys and their suburbs. I mean something that goes beyond tolerance, the end of discrimination at work in terms of origin, place of living or colour of the skin. Too many French firms do not reflect the diversity of our population. We have the means to change this in a good way, I think.

As a conclusion, here is a few words from Haile Selassie that became a famous song from Bob Marley :
"What life has taught me, I would like to share with those who want to learn...
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. That until there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes..."
