stand out there. Now sometimes not only person. Want to make Eugene good place for <br />everyone. See change - but, small increments. <br /> <br />Need to be understood if come from different places. Employers need to understand - <br />some cultures quiet - don’t speak up. Don’t ask to be promoted. Need education for <br />everyone. About speaking up. Community involvement very important. Taught my kids <br />that. Three ways to get ahead - for doing so - receive things back. <br /> <br />Don’t’ want to spend time dancing around things. Want to talk about obstacles. <br /> <br />Participated in a lot of these. Trying not to do the complaining thing. Maybe helpful to <br />go through, but tired of saying them. Done it for last four or five years. <br /> <br />Affects everyone differently. Get frustrated to have dialogue - if not have follow-up. <br />Frustrating. Whether we like it or not have community growing. <br /> <br />Don’t have perceived idea where we go next. Want some concrete ideas of where to go <br />next. Feel disadvantaged about these discussions. Handicaps me. Naïve. <br /> <br />Incident - woman - told me she was abrupt. Teacher of son. Asked me about my skin <br />color. Thought it would be serious discussion about my son. Teachers need to be taught. <br /> <br />Lots of community working on issues, but not working together. School district. <br />Community. If not connection won’t be as much as help. Great to have forum. Taught <br />how to deal with things - deal with it in my own way. Don’t see how City connected <br />with others to deal with it. School, businesses. <br /> <br />Question - if Human Rights can serve as connection. <br /> <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - school district, City - around issues, not sure, <br />how they use it. Don’t know if it could be vehicle. Don’t know how they use it. <br /> <br />Need to let community know it exists. <br /> <br />Don’t share information. Did have training on privilege as part of MOU. <br /> <br />Needs to be advertised. <br /> <br />Point I heard a lot -people don’t know they have avenue or recourse. Venue. Place for <br />complaints. Don’t go anywhere. <br /> <br />Have complained. Friends have. Get tired of doing it. Just hear okay. Want to hear <br />something. Just want it to be equitable. Level playing field. <br /> <br />Do have to make things known to get there. My goal is my kids to live in better <br />community. Not in my lifetime. <br /> <br />Fear of complaining. Afraid to lose job. <br />Communities of Color 26 July 12, 2006 <br />
