Is justice colorblind?

The Artdog Image of Interest

Normally, it's not a good thing to be "colorblind" where race is concerned. That can make it too easy to pass over injustices and put-downs (both "microaggressions" and the more macro sort).

But, as with so-called "blind auditions," sometimes it's only justice, if it IS colorblind, so everyone is treated equally.

Can the New Year bring new attitudes?

The Artdog Quote(s) of the Week

I'd like to wrap up our month-long focus on homelessness in the Quotes of the Week with some thoughts about the future: specifically, the generation that is growing up homeless right now. What does homelessness do to a child? It's devastating. And the ill-effects can last for decades. Even a lifetime. Complacency isn't an option.

Can we do a reset? I fear it's an uphill battle. But another year is coming, a whole season of fresh starts and new beginnings. Can we have hope?

Better to ask: can we dare (or bear) not to have hope?
