The Round Table as the name implies isn’t just about one person. We are a group of people who decided that enough is enough. We are fed up with some of the things that we see in our society and we want to not only speak out against them but try to do something about it. We are people of different ages, different colors, different personalities, etc. What we do have in common is our need to do what is right.
We aren’t a political group and we aren’t trying to push an agenda on anyone. We have no ulterior motive except that justice prevail. We were all individually fighting this fight till our paths crossed. The Round Table was born from this chance meeting. We don’t have a particular arena or category that we are focusing on. We’ll chime in on whatever needs to be talked about. You are welcome to join us on our quest to change our world. We need all the help we can get.

I’m with you all the way!
Currently working on a series on prejudice at another site and for a book I hope to leave my generations.
The movie, The Great Debaters, is a great history-based presentation.
Gordon Allport’s “The Nature of Prejudice” really helped me understand the prejudices that challenge us internally and externally.
The Wikipedia article entitled “Allport’s Scale” shows how prejudice moves from “speaking against” to group actions against the targets of prejudice.
Your point about Clemens-Bonds is dead on.
Question: How do propose that we promote Roundtable84.wordpress.com?

Welcome to all. looking forward to reading learning from you all. Hopefully, I have something worthwhile to add. If not, I know a couple of good jokes and I’ve got some wonderful pictures of my daughter and me! Seriously, how precious a gift is purpose? Let’s not lose sight of that as we embark on this journey. And remember, the journey is the point.

I found this link frm BGPHOUR & just posted my 1st comment ref. New Hampshire Blog and have spent a few minutes reading several blogs, including the Sean Taylor Tribute: very nice,fitting & on-point. I’m a 32 yr-old SWF (single white female) from the state of WV which, if all stereotypes were true and applied, I’d automatically b perceived soemthing I am not. I guess I’m suppsd 2 b a hillbilly w/no teeth, no running water & hate everybody xcept 4 white folks! Oh, and live in a trailor that “aint got no” road to it nor a phone so I’m lucky that I rigged up a connection off my neighbor’s satellite dish 2 hook up to the internet somehow, lol. And, I watch TV with these rigged bunny ears I got from my husband (who is also my daddy’s brother) On a serious note, it sounds like the Round Table is something I would very much be interested in being a part of and concur with its Mission. I have zero tolerance for racial, sexual, religious, or other types of categorical groups that are discriminated against. Injustices and/or views that are discriminative in nature b/c of one’s status or lackthereof is disheartening. Appears 2 b a great venue 2 share & hopefully problem solve, inspire, give hope, open minds, change others’ views, or at a minimum simply allow those 2 vent in a forum where ur encouraged, supported or even “agree to disagree” in a healthy, respectful manner. On a lighter note, I luv 2 compete no matter what the competition might b, am an avid sports fan, played b-ball in college, worship Michael Jordan despite his very few flaws (we all have flaws) and am blessed 2 work 4 an org tht I love & believe in both our vision/mission 100%. In closing, I look forward 2 da Round Tables’ topics & applaud those who created the concept and THX 2 bgfour 4 sharing the link 2 begin with!
