Blago playing the race card, and local YWCA workshops

Rep. Bobby Rush’s comments yesterday are widely seen as “playing the race card.” He said people should not “hang or lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer.” He was referring to Illinois Gov. Blagojevich’s appointment of Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat.

We can all learn how to improve race relations in our own communities and workplaces, and the YWCA of Rockford stands ready to help. Check out the YWCA’s comparatively new racial justice workshops and round-table discussions.
