Chicago Tribune Columnist Enjoys Vacations, Spending Time with Friends, Crowbarring Race into Every Conversation

Local Chicago Tribune columnist, Dawn Turner Trice, enjoys waking up each morning, sending the kids off to school, eating a hearty-breakfast, and crowbarring race issues into every possible situation.

“My job as a race-issues columnist is a vital one in our race-conscious society,” Trice said. “Whether it’s buying some gum at a convenience store, playing flag-football in the park or even making love to your significant other, race-issues are at the forefront of every American’s mind during every waking hour of the day.”

Trice has been especially active as a result of Senator Barack Obama’s nomination for President of The United States. A few examples of the hard hitting questions on race Trice has recently covered in her column include:

Why are White People So Fascinated by African American Hair?

Is Obama Really A ‘Black Man’ When Some of His DNA Comes From a Caucasian?

What Would Martin Luther King Have Said About The Collapse of Bear Stearns?

“Sometimes, late at night, I worry that I’ve wedged race into every conceivable topic and have nothing left to forcibly and awkwardly inject race-issues into,” Trice said. “But then that Don Imus character says yet another crazy comment and breathes life into my column once more.”

When asked about whether he personally spends time caring about things that Don Imus says, or how Martin Luther King would react to said statements, DePaul film school student Marcel Johnson said: “Um…who’s Don Imus? Sorry I don’t have time to talk, I need to get to class.”
