Monday, November 30th, 2009

WHERE LIES OUR TRUE FIGHT? With people of different skin tones? With people who use different word sounds to express their dreams, their pain, their hope, their hunger? Or with those who move hugely and cloaked over with flag and legal document, drawing blood worldwide?

A Plush Destiny for Yet Another Pawn…

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

CRIMES IN LINE WITH THE DOMINANT PARADIGM are not seen as criminal. Others rouse fury and command milkbox galore. As Noam Chomsky said about terrorism being a simple distinction on which direction the guns were pointed in, so goes the justice system and media in the USA when it comes to people of color and whites.

IF YOU’VE NOT SEEN IT around yet, I suggest you check out the new series by Colorlines called “Torn Apart.” Investigating the effects of deportation on families of color, their reporters travel to Jamaica and connect stories that span two countries and illustrate why keeping a national soul means swiftly enacting reform.
