By using myths <strong>as</strong> an escape for reality, we promote myths <strong>as</strong> the ultimate<br />

reality. This is <strong>to</strong>tally insane <strong>and</strong> detrimental <strong>to</strong> our well-being. This is the<br />

re<strong>as</strong>on why Tom Peter's book called for Crazy Ide<strong>as</strong> for Crazy<br />

Organizations. This is the main re<strong>as</strong>on why any theory h<strong>as</strong> a chance <strong>to</strong> be<br />

promoted in a book will e<strong>as</strong>ily make the New York Times' bestseller list, <strong>as</strong><br />

long <strong>as</strong> the book is written by a white person. Non-whites are not supposed<br />

<strong>to</strong> produce theories or offer solutions that would have a severe effect on the<br />

balance of power in the world. Despite the growing tendencies of whites <strong>to</strong><br />

discount the fac<strong>to</strong>r of race <strong>and</strong> its influence in the business world, it is overly<br />

apparent that the racism that we experience in <strong>to</strong>day's contemporary world is<br />

more vicious <strong>and</strong> insidious than ever before. The degree of sophistication of<br />

this type of racism <strong>and</strong> its origin h<strong>as</strong> been recognized by some scholars <strong>as</strong> a<br />

permanent part of civilization. If this racism is continued <strong>and</strong> allowed <strong>to</strong><br />

st<strong>and</strong>, there is no doubt that its resulting effect will destroy the economy of<br />

the entire world. We will also destroy <strong>and</strong> chance for progress in such vital<br />

are<strong>as</strong> <strong>as</strong> health, education, politics, business <strong>and</strong> the overall welfare. It will<br />

cause, a continued rise in poverty. The tree is known by the fruit it bears.<br />

What is so disturbing about this racism is its <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>and</strong> unequivocal rejection<br />

of ide<strong>as</strong> that are presented by blacks <strong>and</strong> other people of color.<br />

New concepts <strong>and</strong> theories by people of color can have an enormous effect<br />

on the enhancement of disciplines such <strong>as</strong> medicine, physics, science, <strong>and</strong><br />

other major fields of study. The contributions that Africa <strong>and</strong> Asia h<strong>as</strong> offered<br />

the world are no secret. However, most concepts <strong>and</strong> ide<strong>as</strong> are tainted <strong>and</strong><br />

discounted for the sole re<strong>as</strong>on that their crea<strong>to</strong>rs are non whites. This practice<br />

must be eliminated so we can do business in an effective <strong>and</strong> efficient<br />

manner. The level of operation is endless if we s<strong>to</strong>p doing business <strong>as</strong> usual<br />

no matter how lucrative it appears. This form of intellectual racism is<br />

supported <strong>and</strong> reinforced by academia, media, government, religion,<br />

business, <strong>and</strong> all are<strong>as</strong> where decisions are made <strong>to</strong> affect world policy. What<br />

is so appalling is the gall of whites <strong>and</strong> their mindless support of these racist<br />

practices.<br />

In a global business world, it is neither polite nor considered appropriate <strong>to</strong><br />

discuss racism <strong>and</strong> its continuous <strong>and</strong> damaging effects. It is not politically<br />

correct or good business practice <strong>to</strong> do this. The only code word that is<br />

acceptable in the global business community is diversity. This term h<strong>as</strong><br />

become comfortable <strong>and</strong> an acceptable p<strong>as</strong>sword for entertaining the ide<strong>as</strong>,<br />

out of necessity, of non-white workers in the global economy. What does<br />

diversity really mean? People of color <strong>and</strong> women are dealt on defined terms.<br />

This limits the extent of business dealings. In other words, because whites are<br />

a minority, it will become next <strong>to</strong> impossible <strong>to</strong> keep the global majority,<br />
