COLLEAGUE: They’re (the Palestinians) all brainwashed, .... And they’re stupid, to begin with, but they’re brainwashed now. Stinking animals. They ought to drop the bomb right there, kill ‘em all right now…

COLLEAGUE: Oh, she’s got to get out. Andrea, get out and then drop the bomb and kill everybody.

Look at this. Animals. Animals!

I tell my friends that any time I’m depressed or lonely, I decide to go to the airport where instantly I’m lavished with meticulous attention and treated like a Hollywood celebrity. Rarely, have I and other ethnic undesirables been afforded such a loving reception. What’s not to love about the multiple (TSA) agents who “randomly” select you for special inspection? Or their curious, unbridled interest in asking you which mosques you frequent? Their desire to express their hospitality and love is so uncontainable that you’re treated to several physical pat-downs covering every inch of your body.

Last week was the 20th anniversary of the death Brazilian environmental activist Chico Mendes. One unfortunate part of his legacy was the slap on the wrist given to his convicted murderers; a trend which sadly continued with the killers of Dorothy Stang.
Stang was a U.S.-born Brazilian missionary who- much like Mendes- was outspoken in defending [...]

Let’s inaugurate the Obama era with a focus on (anti) capitalism. Economic collapse is on the tip of every tongue. Capitalism is facing its most debilitating crisis in nearly a century. G20 leaders have committed to revive the Doha round of global trade talks–the WTO is back again. Rather than converging on the inaugural route, [...]

If I’m to be a white ally, I figure I should take some of the burden off people of color to explain what’s wrong with some of the things white people say. With that in mind I’ve decided to compile a list of things that white people — specifically, white activists — should never [...]

One item that comes up over and over in discussions of racism is that of tone/attitude. People of Color (POC) are very often called on their tone when they bring up racism, the idea being that if POC were just more polite about the whole thing the offending person would have [...]
