"my appeal is to urge us all to awake, awake and listening, awake and operating deliberately on codes of better conduct in the interest of keeping our boundaries fluid, our discourse invigorated with multiple perspectives, and our policies and practices well tuned toward a clearer respect for human potential and achievement from whatever their source and a clearer understanding that voicing at its best is not just well-spoken but also well-heard."

wow, she went to long sentence school. I would like to know if this is considered a well structured sentence, if so why? But jokes aside it makes some good points and kinda sums up the paper, does it not? She is telling us that people should be more sympathetic when writing about different communities, also not to write in an authoritative voice when writing about other races you are not apart of. i agree.
anywho, what is this about? Well in her article she says a writing is not just reading and or seeing but also listening. Her other main point would be how can a writer talk about 099deeeeerwwwwww3788888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888.......that was my cat by the way, adorable. As i was trying to say before i was so rudely interrupted her other main topic is cross boundary discourse and how more often than not is does not work. or should not work. I see her point, I mean i could write about the native Americans and their struggles but not in an authoritative voice telling my reader what they thought and felt. So i guess she kinda exlpains how to remedy this problem through listening. But i most be honest i did not understand this article as well as i would like to and Im really tired, its snowing and i have to walk six miles uphill in that snow. I am looking forward to reading my peers responses and hopefully they will enlighten me.
