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.

"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos
" dung droppings" ~ commenter on Frank Pallone's facebook page.
"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~Scott Sipprelle,future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman
"The most influential conservative in Central Jersey and Dean of the N.J. Conservative Blogging Caucus. First site I check every day... after my own!" ~ Matt Rooney, SaveJersey.com
"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.
