Thanks, Warren -- I look forward to reading the article. Based on the piece you sent out, there are some important points to be made, and they apparently have been made very well.<br><br><font style="" color="#8064a2"><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><font style="" face="Verdana">Keely<br>www.keely-prevailingwinds.com<br></font></font></font><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: whayman@roadrunner.com<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:11:33 -0700<br>Subject: [Vision2020] Interesting read on US culture, politics, and the "social construction of race"<br><br>

invested in believing that racial categories are stable, meaningful and

disrupts whiteness, because whiteness has been the identity that defines
citizenship, access to privilege and the power to define national
history."</div>
