tragedy at Starbucks this morning...someone stole my Americano. I could of course, care less as they just made me another one...but the pour sole who probably ordered a grande skim white mocha latte with a dash of carmel is likely driving to work in disgust. Ha!
Time at Strabucks creeps me out...but I was forced this morning to take an appraisal of the place. I read the cups they were handing out. "Today our schools are just as segregated as they were in 1969, the year after Dr. King dies. Race is the biggest challenge we face, and we have proven unequal to facing it" Nice thought...but I thought the whole campaign about these "the way I see it phrases was suppose to provide a forum for average americans to enlighten average americans. For some reason, the board chairman of the NAACP doesn't seem to fit into this category. Question: are they handing out cups with these phrases in the deep south?

yeah i just read one the other day..and i live in texas. i dont appreciate how you automatically associate the fact that racisim with the south. I live in the woodlands, 35 minutes from Houston. i go to school with a diversity of students and have friends of many races. Statistics have proven that race does influence economic oppurtunity in the white-collared jobs. Why dont you question big cities? just realize that if you autamatically connect the south with racisim, you yourself are supporting a sterotype and the begining of a form of segregation. we need to learn to find the truth for ourselves rather than depend on others for our opionons which is the real definition of a stereo type. if you feel as though only one area in america is faced with racisim then im sorry you havent chose to face reality.
adriana...as I read through this entry...I wonder what my true intent was with this statement....it was a while ago...so I am unable to defend my remark which may seem a bit callus...it seems callus to me now that I re-read it under your lens.
