All I Can Do Is Shake My Damn Head

All I Can Do Is Shake My Damn Head

Must I have the media to tell me to date outside my race? Or within?  No, I don't need the media to tell me when and when not to date/marry anybody.  I'm not a child or a teenager.  I'm an adult.  Those type of media articles insult my intelligence.

What If Sarah Palin Were Black? | | AlterNet




What If Sarah Palin Were Black? AlterNet

Michael Avari: A majority of liberals favor socialism:

Gallup:In a recent Gallup poll a surprising result emerged. Asked about their feelings toward divers economic systems, a stunning 53% of Democrats and 61% of liberals indicated a favorable view of socialism.1 That explains much about the intentions behind the programs the administration and Congress have been trying to foist on the American people. Fortunately, the same poll confirmed 58% of all Americans have a negative view of socialism, which undergirds the sudden and visceral rise in populist resistance to those very programs. Do they teach socialism in school anymore? It was only 20 years ago that the Soviet Union and communism, an extreme form of socialism, collapsed. If we take for granted that during that time educators assumed socialism was dead forever, today’s young voters could not have lived through its abject failure, even vicariously, and the most susceptible among them might be subject to seduction by its false promise. There is scant debate today on the causes of the collapse of the auto or mortgage industries, for example, as a function of the industries' deviation from pure capitalism in contrast to an analysis built on the unproven assumption that capitalism failed. Is it un-American to conclude that GM just wasn’t making products that the market valued, or that government interference in mortgages, through Fannie and Freddie, skewed prudent management of financial risk?

VIH SIDA: Las teorías delirantes atentan contra la vida

KAOSENLARED.NET: La realidad se impuso. Ya sea como resultado de un virus generado en un laboratorio, traído del África o de una invención genética, fuimos perdiendo a nuestros mejores y más lúcidos activistas. Uno a uno fueron sucumbiendo víctimas del VIH SIDA, en ese momento no había medicamentos antirretrovirales, ni tratamiento. Vimos morir a nuestros compañeros, nuestros hermanos, delirando de fiebre, consumidos pesando 30 o40 kilos de peso, en fin, de la manera más espantosa. Que montaje ni que mierda: El SIDA existía. La autocrítica no se hizo esperar, habíamos equivocado el mensaje a la comunidad gay. Y este error había costado al menos cientos de vidas. Esa experiencia me marcó profundamente, no solo a mí, sino a varias de las personas con quienes militaba y dimos un fuerte giro a nuestra estrategia y nuestra acción. Independientemente del origen del retrovirus, si laboratorio genético o exportado del África y sabiendo que su existencia determinaba desde luego una fuerte estigmatización de las personas homosexuales, nos pusimos a trabajar en las campañas de prevención y asistencia a las víctimas. Sri Lanka Guardian: Culture of self-exclusion

(February 16, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) To a segment of Tamils in Sri Lanka, alienation from mainstream life has become a habit of thought.It has now got embedded in sentiment and inertia. Perhaps to a people habituated to fatalistic propensities, this mode of action came a bit too easily. So, for

eighty years have we cherished this ‘gift’, without ever looking it in the mouth. Whatever the vicissitudes in the nation’s political life, we stayed put. The no-change stance was given an aura of principled politics, both consistent and continuous. The time is now to veer completely and absolutely.

May 2009 has cleaved the course of the nation’s history. The upheaval has altered the political contours drastically and irretrievably. It will be unwise for both North and South not to recognize it. A sea change has already taken place. Cataclysmic may be a more apt description. Never will the country be the same again, either post 1931 or post 1948 or post 1983. North South relations are destined to follow a new course. In appreciation of the changes, Tamils can opt for a new beginning or let slip an opportunity that comes but rarely.
