you are not the only black member here, i know of at least 2 others.
-Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull

That's actually kinda funny. Thanks for making me smile.

As to being famous for being black, I really don't think that's my motivation for periodically raising the topic of race on Mudcat's discussion forum.

As to blaming day to day problems I may encounter on my being Black, nope. That's not me either.

And as to race not being relevant here on Mudcat, I think the very fact that this subject keeps coming up {and not just in threads I start or posts that I write} means that it's a topic that Mudcat members and guests feel the need and/or the desire to talk about...

Maybe that's because race is a part of life that needs to be addressed and needs to be worked through until it becomes as irrelevant as you think it is.

But how do we get to the point where race is irrelevant? Perhaps there are times that race does need to be talked about. Perhaps talking about it helps people to work through what old ways of thinking.

But Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull, I agree with you that I am to blame for feeling that I have to respond to others' comments about race.
I agree that I have talked about race too much on Mudcat. From now on, I will not talk about race as much as I have before-unless my spirit moves me to do so.
