Vanilla City, Chocolate Suburbs?
Reader Comment of the Day:
In response to my Sunday column:
Subject: “Chocolate City”
The song was not a hit. It reached 94 on billboard and 24 on black music charts.
But thanks for reminding the white community that the blacks have moved to the burbs and brought their criminal ways with them.
Just ask Evanston, Riverdale, etc., about the jump in crime.

My Thought:
I maintain that the song was a hit and it soon became a classic.
Although apparently not in YOUR neighborhood.
Cheers,

I just read your piece entitled "New Benchmarks of Social Change" and appreciated it.
I would advocate for you to avoid using the term "mixed" when referring to Racial identity and use "multi-racial" or "bi-racial."
I find the term "mixed race" hails from a time when some people were compared to animals, ala 'what breed of dog is that?' It's a 'mixed breed.'
Again, thanks for your commentary.

My Thought:
And thank YOU,
I guess I’m just old-fashioned.
Best,
