\There are two black men who post here pretty much daily. Are they supposed \to preface their comments with "Hi, my name is ____________ and I'm a black \man?"

good idea, Kelley. just like AA, "My name is Joe and i'm an alcoholic." ;-)

if we're going to discuss race, it should be apparent from the comments what a a person's race is. one would hope that person would share his/her perspective.

\Recently someone said that no blacks posted and I was a little insulted for \the 2 men who post daily and the one who posts pretty regularly to scorch \our asses. :)

if they're interested in a thread about racial issues, we'll know.

I think "dominant" means things like I don't have to spell out words or explain who politicians are because I assume everyone will know, while someone from elsewhere is going to have to constantly think about whether or not they'll be understood.
