Reflections on Race: An interesting discussion at washingtonpost.com

We thought DNWA supporters might interested in these reflections on race in a discussion hosted at washingtonpost.com.

...Dr. Cornel West, renowned scholar and professor of religion at Princeton University, was online to discuss his upcoming socially conscious recording project, "Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations," (Hidden Beach Forum) which explores the issues of race, the use of the "N-word" in popular culture and hip-hop and the current state of the world...

There are some interesting questions, and answers that reflect on the issues raised by Dare Not Walk Alone. Consider:

"The race problem in America has always been, in part, a class problem and it remains both a matter of economic deprivation and color prejudice."
