What Not To Do When Talking About Racism
Ever since the Obama/Rev. Wright incident, people have been talking about ways to initiate a conversation about race and racism. One of the commenters on Karnythia's post at the Angry Black Woman, A. (I'm not censuring; that's her/his handle! ^_^), suggests:

Rules:
- Be constructive: This will not become "The Angry White People Show". Only reply if you are genuine, and not looking for a place to air your grievance about what pisses you off about other races. This goes for POCs, too. Leave the stereotypes at home.
- Be sympathic: Guess what? Just because your life is all "buttercups and daisies", doesn't mean it's that way for everyone. Please, conscious and considerate of that fact.
- Be open-minded: ^^^See above.
And above all, THINK BEFORE YOU POST!
