“If you’ve got time to judge, you’ve got time to love.” Very nice. Thanks, Eternity.

Race, gender and sexuality are serious issues in America…indeed, around the world. Myself being a non-hetero black male, I can certainly attest to that. And yet there are those from every walk of like who have something worthwhile to say, something much needed to give. This article was written by a white woman who clearly understands this dynamic. She has risen above the fray, attempting to enlighten us all with good news–doing us proud. We all have our crosses to bear, but if you’ve got time to judge, you’ve got time to love.

You can find black art on building walls downtown, overpasses, and in the ‘hood. Who needs a freakin festival when black art is all over?

And this is why we need a National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta and across the United States. Is it 2009 or 1909?

Sorry Jamie…this is supposed to be about fun things to do in the ATL. However, until people overcome their fears and lack of knowledge about other races and also seek more exposure to other ethnic groups and traditions, there will be very little racial change in this country. I didn’t see anything in your blog stating that this festival was only for black people…

Pete: totally inappropriate. Treat it like a discussion between mature adults, or don’t talk. Take your hate elsewhere.

How about a black violence history month. You excel at that.

I agree with Chris. You people want to be equal, but have this festival, BET, Black history month, etc. You people are your own worst enemies.
