If we truly had a conversation on this subject, we could all understand why some believe that the field has been leveled and why some believe that it has not and why some are indifferent to the topic.Harold Michael Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827668947854084930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622181110129009774.post-49239144671152716912009-03-26T07:43:00.000-07:002009-03-26T07:43:00.000-07:00I'm from Alabama and like you, my dad hired a blac...I'm from Alabama and like you, my dad hired a black disc jockey in the sixties amid all the Jim Crow laws of the South. I was raised to be open-minded and to have integrity. Mobile recently elected a black mayor, which never created a ripple in the pond of life here. My friends in New York City thought it was something special. We've had black mayors all over the South. It's no big deal. I agree, the dialogue needs to open up between the races. The field has been leveled, now it's time to play ball by the same rules as everyone else.deelightfuladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297874132259443367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622181110129009774.post-13316823255882134452009-03-09T18:45:00.000-07:002009-03-09T18:45:00.000-07:00I disagree.

What the country need is a good conversation on Race, where the participates actually talk with each other. <BR/><BR/>Will you join me in convening such a conversation this year?Harold Michael Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827668947854084930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622181110129009774.post-47582439737867507672009-03-07T16:10:00.000-08:002009-03-07T16:10:00.000-08:00Warren,I have nominated you for a Premio Dardos Aw...Warren,<BR/><BR/>I have nominated you for a Premio Dardos Award.<BR/><BR/>you can see what it is all about on my blog, http://writingspace.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Best, KimKim Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933746166088034102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622181110129009774.post-7071170466538331062009-02-28T21:23:00.000-08:002009-02-28T21:23:00.000-08:00Thanks for your comments!Thanks for your comments!Warren Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960431327727799196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622181110129009774.post-1795802104149764652009-02-28T13:56:00.000-08:002009-02-28T13:56:00.000-08:00Hubby and I were SO Offended!!!
