Quote of the day | Dwayne McDuffie on race and writing
Dwayne McDuffie
“I’m conscious of race whenever I’m writing, just as I’m conscious of class, religion, human psychology, politics — everything that makes up the human experience. I don’t think I can do a good job if I’m not paying attention to what’s meaningful to people, and in American culture, there isn’t anything that informs human interaction more than the idea of race.”
– Dwayne McDuffie, addressing how conscious of race he was while working as a writer, story editor and producer on the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited television series

Man, McDuffie’s a good writer and an interesting guy. I wish the climate at DC was different so he could be kicking ass over there.
