I think Damali Ayo has come up with a spectacular "in your face" approach to talking a about race and racism in America! Although I have not read her book yet I did catch her Bookreading on C-Span. The woman is BRILLIANT! I have been on a sliding scale I racism within my young life here on Earth. I beleive mand of my most racist moments are within the confines of the "Policcally Correct" scenearios. She really does point out a lot of those idiosyncrasies that the quintessential "White folk"
tend to bring out! This was just a subject I've recently touched on with other colleagues. I find the book is alluding to being absolutely hilarious because it's true. I don't believe her book and it concept is derogatory in any way like I'm sure others have or will. She is progressive in her work and I intend to support her efforts in what she's doing. I haven't read the book yet but I'm on my way to the store to snatch a book up! I'm glad she's really taking "the bull by the horns."
I'm looking foward to more from Damali!

Yes, thanks for stopping by.

I caught a little bit of her bookreading on C-Span last night as well. I really like what she's been putting out there. I'm also looking forward to seeing and hearing more from her.
