Kind of long-ish, but worth a read. My favorite, and one that I have been following closely due to my work on a college campus, is #6 "Racism on college campuses."

What "trends" would you add to this list? Which ones do you disagree with? What do you see emerging in '07, perhaps especially with Obama's pres "exploration" in full effect?

BTW: Just in case you do not follow every link, please do not miss this one: http://www.ebogjonson.com/archives/2006/09/should_i_use_bl.php "Should I use Blackface on my blog?" It is a satirical flow chart that is just hilarious!

"Dr. Phil did a god-awful episode about race in which he forced a white racist to spend two whole days with a black family in an effort to "cure" him of his racism"

This one was the WORST IMO. The guy looked nothing like a African American, but instead came out looking like a monster with mud on his face.
