The youth had no prior arrest record, and the hall monitor–a 58-year-old teacher’s aide–was not seriously injured. But Shaquanda was tried in March 2006 in the town’s juvenile court, convicted of “assault on a public servant” and sentenced by Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville to prison for up to 7 years, until she turns 21.Read [...]
Buy the Supple Mama Book I don’t know how I feel about Buffie the Body…on the one hand I feel she is a modern-day * Sarah Baartman, but on the other hand I feel she should go for it, make as much money off it as she can. My rear is not as big as [...]
This video is TOO FUNNY!http://youtube.com/watch?v=924zmIi55P8
From my friend Gloria’s Blog:Mamis, you need to share your stories! Our organization got contacted by the same group who publishes the now-famous women’s health books “Our Bodies Ourselves”. The oddest thing is that I JUST wrote a piece a few days ago on the Boston Women’s Health Collective (the group who started publishing these [...]
There is great power and affirmation in raising black children in a racist culture who are conscious and proud of who they are, who have no desire to be white or look white or ‘act’ white, any of that. And by acting white I don’t mean what you sound like or what kind of music [...]
How easy is it to group people into “races” based on appearance? What about using individual traits? Does everybody classify the same way? Try your hand at “sorting” individuals and see if it matches how people think of themselves. Or explore how we might sort people by physical traits. I only got 2 right. http://www.pbs.org/race/002_SortingPeople/002_00-home.htm
The Strange Case of Cory MayeBy Keith BoykinDecember 15, 2005 01:03 PMin politics Picture this. You’re a black man asleep in bed at home in Mississippi. It’s the night after Christmas 2001, and no one else is in the house but your 18-month-old daughter. You hear a loud thud and suddenly the sound of feet [...]
This is great, I love it! This Response to Bill Bennet was written by a white guy and makes great points, including: One can find a plethora of deadly and pathological behaviors uniquely prevalent among whites who look just as ordinary as you and me. Most notable among them are spree killing, serial murder, and [...]
Bill Bennett is an asshole: “You could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” Freedom Rider sums up my feelings pretty well: Thank you Bill Bennett. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. I knew that you, like moralizers everywhere, are a freak. I knew that you [...]
I was paranoid before the hurricane about a whole lotta stuff, now I am ultra-paranoid and feel we have to be prepared for what comes next. ‘Cause I feel another big tragedy is coming real soon for black Americans, either man-made or manipulated after another natural disaster. But, we should have been better prepared to [...]
The Olatunji Foundation for Pan-Africanism (OFPA) is a non-profit organization with the aim of promoting the cooperation of all African people towards a just society. Our philosophy is Neo-Garveyist Pan-Africanism. Neo-Garveyism is a refinement of the philosophy of Garveyism as formulated by Marcus Garvey. It’s principles are of the economic, social and political cooperation of [...]
Well I feel like a big dork. HOW could I have missed this? Loving Day From the site: On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples became legal thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up [...]
So I just watched Good Morning America and they were talking about how Bill Cosby slammed parents who speak poor English at a Washington,D.C. event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. He was talking about not being able to understand some kid, and then he heard the parents talk and realized [...]
Perhaps the most irritating thing/reaction about being married to a white man is the assumption on the part of most people, of whatever color, that white is synonymous with racist. I can understand this on some level, just like I can understand people of any gender thinking that man/male is synonymous with sexist. After all, [...]
Just read in today’s paper yet another article about the dot-com bust. I can’t believe there are all these venture capitalists, banks, and finance firms still whining about losing so many millions of dollars. The fact that so many dot-com companies were able to get so many suckers to invest is a prime example of [...]
