The Pleasures & Perils of Race in the Post-Race Era

[felpaluche]

Life is a race. It will always be.

[LiveWisely]

The ironic thing is that I learned how to be post race via trying to be a Southern gentleman. I no longer define myself as a Southerner (nor by gender), but being gentle means to have manners: to be respectful of all (think PC without the attitude), to think of the needs of one's community, to believe in and require the best in oneself and others (thus dress, move, eat, etc. in a fine way), etc.

This allowed me to be drawn to the character-based gentleness of Mother Teresa, Gandhi, MLK Jr.
