Coffee and Conversation: Race

Join us for a monthly gathering of friends and neighbors where we sit for caffeine-and-donut-fueled conversation around a different topic each month, sometimes thorny, sometimes light, typically timely. We may not always agree, but we can always respectfully listen and share. This month’s topic is Race. Is there such a thing as racial divides among us? To what extent must we socially uphold the construct? Are our nation and social systems designed to uphold white supremacy? Can there be a culture around a racial identity without stereotyping? When and if we obtain true equality at last, will we still need race? How can we celebrate our differences without othering one another? How can we recognize our sameness without whitewashing one another? These are a handful of the questions that we may explore.
