Westboro Baptist Church coming to Charleston

There has been a flurry of activity on  email for the past week about the upcoming visit of a hate group to Charleston, WV  (and Wheeling).  We need to share our story here on NIOT!  I encourage all of you to post some of the things you have shared, your plans, and so forth here on NIOT where we can share our counter protest with a Nation of people who are working toward the same goals.

Visit an Amazing blog about race called Racialiscious (where race and pop culture meet)

The most recent post on Racialiscious blog by Carmen VanKerKove is a very well written article regarding the absence of discussion about race in Obama's latest speech. 

http://www.racialicious.com/

Obama isn't the only person staying silent on the topic of race these days.  We have been very silent here on this site. 

I challenge all of you to say something about race, something about this site, soemthing about the article or about yourself here.

Let's start talking!
