Interesting thoughts that I relate to….

trinilikesalt:

My post last night initiated two conversations with other bloggers about race and racial co-mingling, and they (as good conversations do) got me thinking about random stuff on the topic. So, of course, as I’m sitting in front of my Mac ready to do productive stuff, I’m inspired to jot them down…
