The Issue of Race Part Two: What Defines Race
Have you ever have difficulty describing the race of your characters when writing your novel?
My daughter, Nickay , has written a series on her blog – The Pink Ravyn Writes – on how to professionally address race and ethnic diversity in your literary work. The Issue of race Part One (Introduction)Nickay states that your writing should not be “color blind,” but writers must know how to skillfully describe their characters so that the readers will automatically know their race without having to use generic terms such as “Black” “White” “African-American” or “Latino”
Nickay series will give you a clear definition of race and a guide to describe skin color in your novel.

Hi Lovelies,
Last time, I introduced you to one of the largest issues that I see facing the writing community: race. However, in our little world, race is often defined by skin color (or ethnic background), and this is where things get tricky.

We can embrace others but do not need to ignore we have some differences. In the church, Christ has broken down to dividing wall. In the church we can acknowledge differences in race and culture yet embrace each other and learn from each other.

That is so true. When I listened to the debate last night all you can hear is black and white. Why cant we just say people or person regardless of the color of the skin?
