RACE, TERMINOLOGY AND SELF-IDENTIFICATION


here is a thoughtful observation and comment string on how society regards individuals of mixed racial origin, and how those individuals regard themselves. it was posted at one of my favorite blogs, The Angry Black Woman. please note that in this case, anger does not equate with being inarticulate, irrational or out of control. the posts here are eloquent, informative and thought-provoking. check out both the post and the comments which follow -- a respectful and intelligent discussion.

and for what it's worth, here is a set of guidelines from today's post at TAMW blog, on the do's and don'ts of being a good ally. worth reading, and reading again.
