Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

I have to do something with this

This Identity Blogging discussion is interesting as hell to me. That's why I've continued searching out responses. And it's gotten a little more interesting now that we have some white folks writing about being white instead of just how to respond to Black folks. It makes me wonder how those who wrote about responding to Black folks would explain their own experiences.

What brings this up is Aldahlia's essay.

I don't know, maybe it's just this particular set of women that do long, honest, well-written stuff. I'm just finding I don't want the discussion to disappear in the distance.

I'm in the process of recategorizing my posts that address racial and identity issues. I'm strongly considering a page that indexes them all. And now I'm considering opening up the category to trackback pings, and listing them along with my own stuff. It wouldn't be embarrassing if no one decides to ping the category since I'll be writing my own stuff anyway.

If I do this, it wouldn't be limited to Black issues, though that's basically what I'd be writing myself. And all haters would be deleted.

Not quite the tree structure I mentioned the other day, but you have to admit it'd be hella interesting to browse.
