Race does Matters...

So, it's been along time.
I know. Life has been busy and the world has kept going despite of the fact I haven't blogged in more than three months. However, today I was moved by a horrible story from West Virginia that took place earlier in September. Many of you may know of this; however, I'm just hearing about it. Check it out. Story
Here's a rundown: A 20-year-old black woman raped and tortured for a week by six white people. Enough said, right? I don't know what's going on in America, but I do know that racism is still alive in 2007. We have to realize that we only are nearly 50 years removed from the end of segregation and Jim Crow. Look at Jena 6 in Louisiana and Genarlow Wilson in Georgia. There is too much going on surrounding race that is just unacceptable and I can't stay silent anymore.
