TRMS: Melissa Harris-Lacewell is brilliant

[Coexist]

on inter-racial marriage and gay marriage, "minorities understand what separate but equal really means".

This is fantastic. I hope the clip is posted soon.

1. Yes, she is.

Also, she mentioned the fact that there was very little outreach in the black community, which doesn't surprise me, considering the tension between blacks and gays (also racism in the gay community against black gay people) in my city in Ohio over the years when it came to boycotts and other issues.

3. hopefully, this whole thing will be an awareness raiser

and people will begin to understand.

It sounds cold, but the next generation could care less about who's allowed to marry. Old people and their bigotry on nearly every subject depress me. In twenty years, this country will have as close to a clean slate as they can get on issues of equality.

4. I've seen her on Rachel and Keith's show a few weeks ago.

She's brilliant, good-natured, incredibly well spoken, seems to have a very good sense of humor and is really, really nice looking.
Also very adorable, if that can be used in conjunction with really, really nice looking.:-)
