Re: “Straight Outta Compton may be a great movie, but at what cost?”
Hi Charles, I had to take a moment and let you know your recent article, "un-conscious", was in my opinion, one of the best things I have read in quite a while. I appreciate your insight and intellectual perspective coupled with emotional intelligence. Unless we as a people, decide, that me as a person needs to care more about the elevation of community, then the struggle will remain with the many and the power with the few. Grateful for your words and spirit. Mike Watson, emcmike.com
Re: “Rude or racist?”
Love the article Charles- bringing awareness is always necessary- I especially appreciate that your sister engaged the "sitter" in a positive way showed character and strength, the fact he chose to be ignorant, dismissive, racist, rude or just 'special' (bless his heart) is his issue, that because of your positive approach has no strength. As an observation on American culture- I agree that we are becoming not just culturally insensitive but socially unaware, I often stand in line waiting to be acknowledged or checked out at Harris Teeter while the cashier talks loudly to her friend 3 aisles down about her night out, what food she just ate and what an ass her boyfriend is, the whole time consciously ignoring me- I am 6'4" with tattoos, bald, and white also tough not to notice- and this abject conscious decision to ignore me and not do your job in the service industry happens all the time- my favorite is when they begin to ring me up and continue talking over me and past me to their friend while smacking their gum. KEEP up the good work- love what you do
