I guess I need to be more clear.

Clarification

I've had a few questions and I figured I'd just say flat out that my goal is to get as many people as possible involved in a true and honest conversation regarding race relations in this country. It seems super simple on the very surface but it's not. It's difficult for all involved because everyone has views they aren't comfortable having challenged and to listen to those that have experienced things you never have and to admit that you don't know as much as you thought you did is very difficult. Hell, it's scary. However I'd like to make it not so scary.

I have plans right now. I'm in the very beginning stages but if I can make this get off the ground I think a lot of people would benefit from it. I think it could be a VERY good thing.

 There are many that seem to think that laws in place are there to protect minorities from bigotry and it's enough. It's not. Those very laws are threatened in new and crafty ways all the time. But even so laws don't govern thought nor should they.We can't expect laws to be the only thing keeping people from being treated poorly due to some bigoted reason. The best way to fight bigotry is through understanding.

My dream and my hope is to get different people to understand each other.

I haven't forgotten...

I know I just started this blog and already I've gone a week without posting anything. Well That's gonna change as I have a LOT of thoughts brewing in my head. Things like the ridiculous notion that legislation can curb racism, how I have a new found respect for the X-Men and thinking of maybe doing something more than a simple blog.

Lots of thoughts I want to share with you guys... but that will have to wait until after the weekend. I'll be out of town for a couple of days but when I come back I'm sure I won't be able to shut up.

The X-Men thing isn't what you think... and I still don't like the movies.
