Just the other day I interviewed Marcus Carter, entrepreneur, author, real estate investor and creator of the website theblackwealthbuilder.org. I ended up having a frank and refreshingly positive conversation about racial issues and real estate investing.\xa0
I don\u2019t really think about issues of race all that much. The color of a person\u2019s skin is such a silly thing to worry about in my humble opinion. I know that it of course is a hot issue in our society but I\u2019ve been unsure what, if anything, I can do to help. My good friends Ramon Tookes and Glen Glasper and I did a YouTube show with me titled, \u201cAn Honest Conversation About Race.\u201d Well-meaning white people are being pushed into a no-win situation by some of the shouters out there. If we go about our business as usual, we are accused of being racist. If we say, \u201cI\u2019m colorblind\u201d they will say, \u201cif you have to proclaim it, that just proves you\u2019re racist.\u201d So what are we to do? Carry on as best we can, live the truth we believe and let our reputation over time speak for itself.\xa0
But today I had one of those moments that interrupt \u201clife as normal\u201d when I spoke with Marcus Carter today. We started talking about issues of race, wealth, and real estate, and well - got off topic for a bit.\xa0
Marcus is coming up in a few moments, but before we go there, we need to go here. Our guest-host Starr Keels is here with us today. And we\u2019ve never discussed this before, but Starr is black.\xa0
