Coming soon in the race conversation



While the conversation we have been having here at MoreMonmouthMusings about race has been educational and enlightening for some, for the most part it has been just a bunch of white folk arguing over the N-word.

I've started a dialog with Reverend Manning and others in the hopes of taking this conversation to the next level and expanding it to the black community. As I said in the very first post about this on July 17, changing vocabularies alone will not foster better relations between the races. Understanding and acceptance will.

I've also posted ads on craigslist looking for talent who will conduct "on the street" type interviews about race relations and the N-word. I have several applicants already and hope to get that project started this weekend. If you know someone who would be good at that, have them send me a photo and resume to artvg@aol.com.
