POST-SHOW DISCUSSIONS
An excerpt from “Constructing a Conversation on Race” by Charles M. Blow
—The New York Times, August 20, 2014
“A true racial dialogue is not intra-racial but interracial. It is not onedirectional—minorities to majorities—but multidirectional. Data must be presented. Experiences must be explored. Histories and systems must be laid bare. Biases, fears, stereotype and mistrust must be examined. Personal—as well as societal and cultural—responsibility must be taken. And privileges and oppressions must be acknowledged. We must acknowledge how each of us is, in myriad ways, materially and spiritually affected by a society in which bias has been widely documented to exist and in which individuals also acknowledge that it exists.”
