The Race Card Project ™
by Michele Norris
My idea was to use the postcards to get the conversation started but I quickly realized once I hit the road on my book tour that I didn’t really need that kind of incentive. All over the country people who came to hear about my story wound up telling me theirs.
Despite all the talk about America’s consternation or cowardice when it comes to talking about race, I seemed to have found auditorium after auditorium full of people who were more than willing to unburden themselves on this prickly topic.
So the postcards that were supposed to serve as a conversation starter wound up instead serving as an epilogue. People took the cards with them and mulled over the assignment. I hoped that a few might send them back to me via email or through the U.S. Postal Service. I tried to be realistic, set low expectations and then held my breath. Well, much to my surprise an awful lot of people took the bait.
Dozens of those little postcards started arriving in the mail every week and bit by bit more and more of those little six-word “essays” piled up in my inbox from all over the country, and them amazingly from all over the world. I’ve heard from people in Australia, London, Chile and Abu Dhabi.
They are thoughtful, funny, heartbreaking, brave, teeming with anger and shimmering with hope. Some will with make you smile. Others might make you squirm. And there are a few that might make you wonder why they deserve a place on my website’s Race Card Wall.
Here’s the answer. If the intention is to use these cards to get a peek at America’s honest views about Race, then I must try to honor those people who offer up candor, even if what they share is unsavory or unacceptable in some people’s eyes.
Go ahead.
Give it a try! Scroll down to the bottom of the wall to fill out your own card.
I’m listening,
Michele

You still have to be better.
-Kimberly Walker
Beltsville, MD
I’m certain that my feeling about how racism affects me (it’s like having a second job) is much easier than my parents, who were both born in the segregated South (it was like having 3 jobs), but I just wish it were easier to explain it to people who think the definition of racism is to point out racism.

-Yvette Perry

Title of my (former) blog–coincidentally 6 letters (depending on how you parse the hyphens). At the time, around PBO’s election as POTUS, I thought that maybe we were “post-racial” for only a moment. (A very short moment…) If so, now we are “post post-racial.

All 5th grade girls except Mavis.
-Phoebe Ruona,
Minneapolis, MN
I went to a little 2-room country school in MN. There were 3 black kids in our school. Mavis was in 5th grade with me. My parents threw a surprise party for me and invited all the 5th grade girls except Mavis. I remember being angry and sad that she was left out, and I knew it was because of her skin color. I didn’t know how to apologize to her. Mavis, wherever you are, ” I am sorry.” |

Here, interracial marriages are often racist.
-Suzie W.,
Minneapolis, MN
Growing up in Minneapolis I have many stories of being exposed to African American males and Caucasian females who have this in common – they both hate African American women. The worst sting of racism has come from this. Any equality gained from sexuality is no gain. We quote interracial marriages like they have anything to do with the color of boardrooms – still mostly white. |

Race for the cure to Racism.
-Charles D. Scott,

Racism is the cancer of our society.
We have been lied to about who we really are. We have been lied to about how the “so-called” Races have come about.
Are whites better because they lack the capacity to naturally protect themselves from the sun?
Are blacks of a lesser degree because they can produce melanin?
It is all utter nonsense and propaganda that divides a nation of one people. |
