[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you in support of these activities and audits, where is the evidence showing it helps? Frankly I find myself so overtly skeptical of this whole new industry that I find myself less inclined to want to help anyone. I miss MLK, Jr.’s message. I am not sure I completely buy into the message that focusing on race is better than trying to move beyond it. [b]Change is slow and we have come a long way. Suddenly it’s not enough and we need all this training[/b]. Why? Is it helping? Who is it helping other than these new trainers and auditors?[/quote]

Just because we’ve come a long way doesn’t mean we’ve reached the goal.  And it’s not suddenly not enough, it hasn’t been enough all along.  And what’s the measure of a long way?  No longer allowing slavery? No longer have  separate White’s and Colored bathrooms or separate schools.  Make no mistake, there is still dramatic differences to how students of color are treated in classrooms and what they and their parents are informed about in term of opportunities. You not seeing that is actually the point.  The racism or problems are not all resolved, folks have just gotten better at hiding it.[/quote]
