Progress, Not Perfection
Okay, click the link below and read it. It is mostly aimed at straight white men, but I think there is something in there that can be learned by everyone. I read it first thing this morning, okay, first thing after I was done in the shower, but still.
I hope it makes you think a little bit before you open your mouth today.
Shut Up and Listen « Whatever.
Welcome to the new website. It took me about a year to decide on whether or not I wanted to do this. You see I already have a website, but it is a sadly unattended thing at this time. Life got away from me and the last three or four […]

I’ve also never had an advantage in being white. I know this paradigm exists for others but nothing ever fell on my plate because I was Caucasian. Unless you want to include being moved to the head of the line for a supermarket job (ahead of the Hispanics from my neighborhood) when I was 16. I remember going to the financial aid office in NY Tech and everyone looking at me like I shouldn’t be there. I’ve found that life is less about color and a whole lot more about status.
