Project RACE Declares War on the World
(or Letting Your Ego Run The Show)

On April 14, 2000, Project RACE Executive Director, Susan Graham decided to take some potshots at everyone else in the “multiracial” community. Being grownups, we chose to ignore it and treat her remarks for what they were – childish and petty. Further, it wasn’t really surprising, as few people in the “multiracial movement” are willing to work with the caustic Ms. Graham anyway. Now she is at it again. In a March 9, 2001 posting to Project RACE’s website, she once again declares war on everyone else affiliated with the “multiracial” movement. Either you toe her line or you get fragged in the style of Vice President Cheney – “Big Time.”
I’m not sure I get the point, she keeps talking about what she’s continuing to do for the “multiracial” community, but all I’ve seen on Project RACE’s website since April 2000 are a few letters to editors of various publications and attack pieces on everyone else in the “multiracial” movement. Attack pieces don’t seem like they really benefit “multiracial” children. They seem more like a benefit for Ms. Graham’s frail ego. Apparently, when she has nothing else to do, she picks fights with former comrades who’ve decided to take a different approach than her.
I’ve been searching and stretching and reaching, but I’ve yet to figure out how these attack pieces do anything to help “multiracial” children. Maybe I’m just too dense to figure it out. Or maybe it doesn’t make sense.
If you haven’t done so already, please take the time to read for yourself:
