We talk. We all talk and take each other seriously. Admit we have biases and prejudices. That’s where we start.
We re-read history…if’n you are serious, read Studs Turkel, and Linda Stout…they all address class. Read Cornel West, Angela Davis, Sherman Alexie, Sandra Cisneros…they have a lot to say about racism. Ronald Takaki and Howard Zinn re-examine American history…go to powwows and listen to the honor songs, go to the various festivals…White Center has a lot of them.
Oh, I have a reading list for everything. So many books, so many people to listen and learn from…so little time.
BTW, I don’t like football either. But I do like beer. And if you come to the pub, we’ll talk more.
