Looking at the Worst Towns in America: Sundown Towns | Prism of the Past

Sundown towns are STILL a thing in America. People of Color are still being harassed and discrimated against in such towns. We have sundown towns and neighborhood in and around Dayton. Oakwood, Brookville, Miamisburg, Carlisle, Kettering, Bellbrook, Union, Phillipsburg, Tipp City, Beavercreek, and Springboro. Let's not underestimate that most Trump supporters are from sundown towns all over America. We as people of Color need to be vigilant as are antiracist and progressive whites and others. May James Loewen rest in peace. Thanks, Dr. Loewen. Without your diligent work, this painful aspect of America would've been forgotten and victims of racism are being told that "it's in the past" and "don't make it about race."
Be sure to read his book before bigots, racists, and anti Critical Race Theory censors ban this book.

People's Most Beautiful....You Know The Routine!

Jennifer Aniston appears on People's Most Beautiful Again!

Here we go again. I'm getting so freaking tired of this. I am sure glad that People Magazine decides on who's beautiful. Once again, the cover graces another celebrity who isn't....well you know.

Jennifer Aniston, once again graces the cover of the Most Beautiful Women for 2016.

Not saying much other than my usual rant over how it just continues to embrace White actors and actresses on the cover of that tabloid trash.

Beauty is skin deep and I want you to know who I really think should embrace the cover of People.

I mean there were only four people of color who graced the cover of People's Most Beautiful.

Halle Berry
Beyonce
Jennifer Lopez
Lupita Nyong'o

Matter of fact, they haven't have a man of color or a plus size woman grace the cover of People.

I am utterly disappointed once again in People and they way they cover celebrities.

I am not a fan of the junk food media. Celebrity agitation is a part of the junk food media.

Do You Notice A Pattern With People Magazine?

Most of their covers have White celebrities. People Magazine ignores celebrities of color, plus size women and disabled celebrities.
It's giving the perception that you have to rich and powerful to be the "Most Beautiful".
It's their right to put whoever on the front cover. It's not racism. It's business and they know who sells .

Womanist Musings: George Sodini: Misogynist and Racist

Womanist Musings: George Sodini: Misogynist and Racist



Past posting from Womanist Musings regarding George Sodini's misogynistic racism.  I see the similarities between yesterday's Santa Barbara shooter and Mr. Sodini.   Mr Sodini's right-wing racism and Eliot 

Rodger's.  This serves as proof that the war on women, working/middle class people, and people of Color are real and deadly!

According to Renee Martin:


White women and people of color are routinely referred to as angry and castrating and yet the violence of White men is always viewed as an anomaly.  Limbaugh recently referred to Obama as an angry Black man for daring initially to speak truth to power regarding the Gates incident, however the ways in which White men use hate speech and violence to maintain their undeserved privilege is never seen for what it truly is – fear and anger run amok.
Sodini may be only one man but his body represents much of the anger that White men are currently experiencing at the thought that power dynamics could possibly change.  Some may not go as far as to murder innocent people, however just as one would not turn your back on a wounded animal, so to is it dangerous to take the threat that they pose lightly.  This is not about how Sodini felt as man but specifically how he identified as a White man.
