<br />Once kids off school ground whose problem is it? Example – LCC – M. Spilde says “this <br />is what happened and it is not okay” which at least informs the community. <br /> <br />Is there a way for the Mayor and/or City Council to make these things public without <br />harming individual rights? What about a regular article in the RG? <br /> <br />We need to identify the behavior we want to encourage. <br /> <br />Information needs to be more realistic. <br /> <br />Asking for oversight in EPD cannot rest on the guy on the bottom. Hard to get things <br />changed. <br /> <br />I admit there is a problem. <br /> <br />Admitting what the problem looks like, respect the story, integrate that perspective. <br /> <br />I’m talking about issues as “our” problem. <br /> <br />Who is defining what the meaning is. Example: During the Katrina aftermath people <br />identified as refugees. Whose diversity are we going to work on? <br /> <br />Think about having to have an ID card to vote. It’s going to hurt those who have no <br />records. <br /> <br />Yes it still keeps those poor and of color from voting against status quo. <br /> <br />How could we structure community discussion to define diversity? <br /> <br />Minorities learn not to make waves; I do and use the chain of authority. In know I can go <br />to governor but how will that really be of help in the community. We build <br />allies/relationship groups and are coalescing. We are using survival techniques. <br /> <br />Issues identified by the group: <br /> <br />Talking is good but action is needed. <br /> <br />Need to address issues head-on <br /> <br />Need a course of action – teaching about multiple perspective models particularly in <br />education. <br /> <br />Training people who “need” it don’t want it. <br />Leadership is necessary to move ahead. <br /> <br />Critical Issues: <br /> <br />Communities of Color 37 July 12, 2006 <br />
