My Blu Tinted Glasses: White People Study: Some Analysis »
Something I’m noticing while reviewing my data is the misunderstanding of what racism is. It feels like a lot of the test subjects seem to think that in order for a white person to be considered racist, they have to burn crosses, wear white robes, scream “white power” while…
All what is stated here is a clear cut example of white privilege. AND cognitive dissonance. White people along with every race of human on the planet need to see themselves in a positive light. The problem is that in America there is an overwhelming reinforcement of white supremacy as a good and proper concept. Therefore when you confront a White about this, you are not only displacing their concept of what white society tells them about racism but also their personal view of themselves. The average ego cannot deal and therefore cognitive dissonance plays in and protects the fragile ego. As we know as damn near truth white folks have egos as fragile as Bush’s foreign policy. Which is why its so damn frustrating to discuss race with them.

From The Skerries: Trayvon, Marissa, Diane, Daniel and the things we "forget" »
All of the the above did exactly what they are being accused of.
( apologies for the huffington post but they have multiple relevant links)
Trayvon was black , young, tall and had some weed.
Marissa shot a gun.
Diane missed school.
Daniel was trying to get baked.
These are all incontrovertible facts, with school logs, autopsies, confessions to back them up.
Chillingly precise
WikiLeaks: U.S. troops Handcuffed Children and Shot Them in the Head »
According to a diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks, U.S. troops willfully massacred an Iraqi family in the town of Ishaqi in 2006, handcuffing and then shooting 11 people in the head including a woman in her 70′s and five children ages five and under.
McClatchy is reporting that the soldiers then called in an air strike on the house to cover up evidence of the killings.
This account differs sharply from an official version of the 2006 incident, which indicated that coalition forces captured an al Qaeda in Iraq operative in the house, which was destroyed in a firefight. The WikiLeaks cable, however, corroborates accounts by Ishaqi townspeople and includes questions about the incident by Philip Alston, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
The cable is dated twelve days after the incident, which took place March 15, 2006. In it, Alston says that autopsies performed in Tikrit on bodies pulled from the wreckage of the farmhouse indicated that all of the dead had been handcuffed and shot in the head.
If true, this action, although not as egregious as the My Lai massacre of March 16, 1968, wherein 347-504 unarmed civilians were shot to death by U.S. forces during the Vietnam conflict, still speaks volumes about war and the atrocities committed for war’s sake.

African migrants rested at a playground in southern Tel Aviv on Thursday May 24, 2012. Violent race riots shook the area overnight after protesters called for the expulsion of blacks—some shouting ‘Blacks out!’—and accused them of bringing crime. An interior minister demanded that Africans illegally in Israel be imprisoned.
illegal immigrants? coming from Israelis???
ain’t THAT the pot callin the kettle Black…
Real talk
Isrealis are fucking up.
Atlantic City Boardwalk, 1950s
History Time! (which I feel is necessary since we can often look at photos like these without truly investigating what we see)
The success of the Atlantic City Boardwalk was built upon its exclusion of Black people.
The Atlantic City Boardwalk was where “working class Whites of all ethnicities came to make public performances of feigned upper class status.”
But this status depended on a constellation of racial segregation statues, heavily scripted settings, and White supremacist social mores so that Black bellhops, Black entertainers, and Black conductors of American style of rickshaws could perfectly pamper their racial and social “betters.” More than that, so much of Atlantic City’s status as a White getaway depended on a vibrant and racially integrated jazz and after hours scene where Blacks would, in many ways, perform their exoticism and where Whites, in just as many ways, would take social and sexual “risk-less risks” that they would never consider in their more conventional daily lives.
Thus, during the boardwalk’s heyday as the “Nation’s Playground”, Blacks were kept off the boardwalk and off the beaches. Immigrant White families came to the boardwalk to prove that they had achieved the American dream.. They had “made it”… because “making it” meant (and certainly, to a degree, still means) being White and living apart from POC. Atlantic City’s schools, clubs, neighborhoods, and movie houses were also segregated (de facto).
When the boardwalk was desegregated, it became too accepting.. too open.. too democratic to remain a White getaway. So as Whites were fleeing cities to go to the suburbs, they were also fleeing the Atlantic City boardwalk for suburban-like resorts like Disney World. Thus Atlantic City and its boardwalk fell into decline.
Casinos/Gambling was established in the late 1970s to help return the area to its “glory days,” but it hasn’t been enough. And, tourists are kept away from the “city’s grim reality and its predominantly poor African American residents”.

I remember my friend, a brilliant Kenyan writer, and I once walking the streets of London some years ago, and as he walked past beautiful after beautiful building he would point at one and say ‘this one was payed for by colonial loot from Kenya’ and he would point at another and say ‘this one was payed for by colonial loot from from Nigeria’. It was funny and a bit exaggerated but fundamentally not untrue. There is a link between the affluence of Europe and the poverty of Africa.”

This is something people should understand without being told.
Just like in America people always give credit to the forefathers for the building of this country when it literally was my ancestors who did the work.
