Think again. That would be my longtime cubicle chum, Steve Blow, and me. And if you don't know what I mean when I say, Talking Race, well here's a primer. Weed it and reap, or something like that. Tune in,...
Steve and I said what we had to say about all the race-related talk about President Obama. Now we want to hear what you have to say. So click here to get ready for our online chat today. We're supposed...
The issue exploded last week with respect to Obama's opponents. That, in turn, set off howls of protest over "the race card" being played. I sure agree that race shouldn't be injected into a debate lightly. But what do you...

Much comment today on the story of GP chief Joseph Showell, who called an exclusive meeting with 60 black students with borderline or outright failed TAKS scores, and exhorted them to do better. Over at DISD Daily Dish, mi amiga...
Hey, Steve, as much as I appreciate our calm cubicle chats, it may be time for us to take a page from South Oak Cliff High School and stage our own cage match. I noticed that story has about 100...
"What's that old saying, if at first you don't succeed, blame the white man." -- James Ragland, bantering with Steve Blow in their "Talking Race" column. Calm down, folks. He didn't mean it. He even says so. Here's the rest...
That's the question that's being explored in some circles, according to Richard Prince's Journal-isms, which I read religiously. Of course, Steve Blow and I tackled this toxic topic on Friday, and we're still getting emails and phone calls, most of...

Well, at least I hope we've heard the last of the Dallas Mavericks' once-promising young player, whose star is no longer shining so bright in Big D. Sorry it took me a while to get around to talking about the...
Reader comments are running hot and heavy to our Talking Race column today. It's currently right at the 200 comments mark. I haven't found any input yet from the Josh Howard Fan Club....
In the Shameless Plug Department, James Ragland and I will be guests on Kris Boyd's "Think" program today at noon on KERA (90.1 FM). The topic, naturally, is about the only topic James and I have been discussing with folks...
Steve, I thought this reader response to one of the Talking Race questions might be a joke. But sadly, I don't think it is. The online question: What is the greatest obstacle to black progress today? A reader response: "Manors...
James, we hoped our friendly dialogue about race would prompt more such discussion. It's sure working over at The Observer. Jim Schutze stirred a lively discussion with his statement that old white guys like me and him are incorrigible racists...
Well, it was a good plan -- having you join the candid conversation James Ragland and I are having about race. Unfortunately, none of your answers to today's question are appearing on our web site. We asked you to tell...
