My dear Chancellor:
When are you opening the mulatto website/forum for us mulattoes? (and what is the web address?)
Thank you!
It will be open in march of 2008 (early to mid march hopefully before March 20, 2008, I want to start the year off fresh, and new, a total new year. I am letting 2007 go out. I am also, thinking about having a part on the forum that will be for creole topics. Creoles will have a forum section titled creole where we can post topics, essays, photos, etc about creole culture. Cajun can be posted there too. The mulatto website will open. In 3 months. I will also have a link here at this blog. I will also announce it too. I will try to keep the link where it can be seen towards the top of this blog.
Also when march rolls around try to remind by emailing or leaving a comment here saying this is March coming up will the mulatto site be open this March. I am also seeing what needs to be added to the forum. Commenters will be able to post topics too. So March 2008 is the month.
It will be a forum for people to post topics, and I will have a content management system also for news updates about mulatto and creole subjects, and posts about news from the general media. In the future audio, pod cast possibly will be added too. I want us mulattoes and creoles (mixed race) to have a space for us to all come together on the Internet an share. I plan also to contact media organizations and let them know we exist. Other ethnic and racial groups are welcomed too.
I have been semi sad because I see mulattoes go to websites , blogs, and forums that allow you to talk about mulatto topics — but there are some problems I have noticed. I will try to avoid these problems that these forums and websites and blogs have. I have noticed, that mixed race people need to feel protected also, from other people who try to insult, ridicule, and discourage them from self identifying as mixed race. I have a couple of domain names I am trying to decid which one I will use. When I open the site right above where it says recent comments on my blog. I will have the link to the domain (mulatto website) there.
March of 2008!
Great – and thanks! I will certainly leave a “reminder message”, as I am looking forward to this new site.
p.s. I know EXACTLY what you mean regarding the need to feel “protected”…
Thanks and be on the look out!!!
