How Much is Too Much?

If it were a perfect world, I would like to think that the most recent attacks on young black millionaires are just a coincidence. In a perfect world, the success of blacks would be applauded as a plus for the country. Unfortunately, American history is littered with incidents of racial...

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the Critical Race theory

Oklahoma’s right-wing politicians would like to erase history because that’s what they do, whether it’s the omission of facts or rewriting them to favor those in power. Historical guilt and its associated media effects cooties can’t be part of public school curricula. H.B. 1775  implies that the past prior to 1776...

How/Why Unilateral Disengagement became an Oppressive/Enforced Segregation [In defence of AOC].

Some historical terms should not be used lightly. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the term Apartheid to describe the Israel/Palestine reality, this shocked some people. I hate the word Apartheid as it brings back to too many  precise historical racial connotations with respect to South Africa. The term segregation holds similar memories...

Eco-fascism and ethnic cleansing aren't strange bedfellows and it gets amplified by Fox News

Not about authoritarian horseshoes or even close hand grenades. The “environmental” claims of RWNjs or even wise use advocates is also about corporate land use, private property NIMBYism/sovereignty, and constraining minority populations via immigration. Even the New Zealand terrorist’s manifesto proclaimed a ecofascist threat was largely about fearing indigenous people because of...

The Most Segregated City

35b72-racist2bomaha2bad.jpg

To many, Omaha Nebraska is where you could buy insurance from the company that sponsored the Wild Kingdom TV show.  Henry Fonda and Johny Carson were from Omaha.  The liberal billionaire, “Oracle” Warren Buffet, lives in Omaha. Yet for 50 years, Omaha also became the most segregated city in the US,...

Corey, the DNI and a Culture of Lying

Former Trump body-man/adviser/enforcer Corey Lewandowski spent or wasted hours of the taxpayers and Congressional Democrats time and money yesterday, auditioning as the opening act for the Donald Trump troubadours. When he was not being openly disdainful for the process of American government, tossing out one-liners or admitting that lying is...

Pence Equates MLK's “Promises of democracy” to Trump's Campaign Bile. Even He Ain't That Stupid.

So Mike Pence went on Face The Nation this morning and compared Trump’d hateful campaign boilerplate about building a wall to MLK’s stirring oratory challenging this nation to fulfill Jefferson’s promissory note that “all men are created equal.” x Pence quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have A Dream” speech to...

Cindy Hyde-Smith attended 'segregation academy' to avoid newly integrated schools

The Jackson Free Press has published a blockbuster story about the Republicans’ too-racist-even-for-Mississippi Senate candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith. Seems she comes by her antebellum attitudes about race at least in part via her secondary-school education. The paper reports that Hyde-Smith attended a “segregation academy” whose primary purpose was to allow students...

GA-Gov: Jimmy Carter Hits The Campaign Trail For Stacey Abrams (D)

Always glad to see him active: Stacey Abrams had one consistent message when she joined former President Jimmy Carter on Tuesday outside a rural health center in his hometown of Plains: Expanding Medicaid in Georgia will be her top priority if elected governor. But her campaign event with Carter sent...

'Freedmen,' an alternative to HBO’s alternative history, 'Confederate'

What if the South had won the Civil War? Hardly a new question, and it’s doubtless one of the most common counterfactual thought exercises in American history. It’s also already been recently asked—though not answered seriously—in the 2004 mockumentary, CSA: The Confederate States of America. Nevertheless, HBO is turning to some...

20 Years An Expat “I just don't get it anymore”

It has been longer than that if you include my school years [St George’s Edinburgh, it would be 26] but 20 years a full time expat split between the UK and France, so over half my life. The reason I bring this up? I think that it is really this...

I'm sick to the back teeth of “I want us to take our country back” [rant]

This is the mantra of the right on both sides of the pond. It’s the xenophobics and racists mantra, without the inherent toxicity of their usual bile. Who is us? Who is them? Where do the rest of “us” fit into “their” country that they want to take back? Once...

Racism Blinders, Public Education, and Civil Rights: GLEP Is The Problem, Not The Solution

After three additional tweets trying to explain what he meant by the meme to compare Michigan State...
