- Ghetto Chic: To Wear or Not to Wear?
  Posted by Shemuses
  Lily Allen rocks it (kinda), Will Smith used to, and about 8 out of 10 hipster 20-somethings I see every single time I walk into an “up and coming” neighborhood in NYC seems to have filled their closets with it.

- Blacks Terrorize Harvard Students
  Posted by Shemuses from Feeds.gawker
  Last weekend, on the bucolic Quad at Harvard University—typically, the site of a casual game of Ultimate, or perhaps an afternoon reading of some Shakespearean sonnets before English class—an unusual and, to some, frightening scene was played out. There were people throwing things! And running! And jumping! And most scary of all, every single one of them was black.

- The Unbearable Whiteness of the Green Movement
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  To change our laws and culture, the green movement must attract and include the majority of all people, not just the majority of affluent people.

- Will Gentrification Spoil the Birthplace of Hip-Hop?
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  Hip-hop was born in the west Bronx. Not the South Bronx, not Harlem and most definitely not Queens. Just ask anybody at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue — an otherwise unremarkable high-rise just north of the Cross Bronx and hard along the Major Deegan.

- A 'Ho' By Any Other Color: The History and Economics of Black Female Sexual Ex
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  While white women's sexuality is celebrated in movies and magazines, Black women acting out the same behavior are relegated to the ranks of whoredom.

- Of A Split Mind: Thoughts on Affirmative Action
  Posted by Shemuses
  Obama is obviously between a rock and a hard place on that one. There is no right answer - at least, not one that will please a large group of people. I wish I could supply an answer, but I cannot. On one hand, I understand Obama’s sentiments - most of the obstacles I have had in life have resulted from being poor, not being black. The boost I received from programs rooted in affirmative action were predominantly to overcome financial barriers...

- Scott Howell's racist ad crafting buoys the GOP
  Posted by Shemuses
  Scott Howell doesn't care if you think he's a racist. Hell, he doesn't care if he drags the political discourse in this country into the mud. Scott Howell is about two things: a) the almighty dollar b) doing whatever it takes to get Republicans to win

In a More Diverse America, A Mostly White Convention

Why are Republican African Americans surprised by this phenomenon? Do they truly think that the GOP has their interests in mind and that it can relate to their circumstances? What more proof do we need that the GOP is hostile to the needs of all but the most wealthy Americans, except the record of the last 8 years with the cuts in constitutional rights, the tax benefits for the wealthy and corporations, the record high oil industry profits, a war that was initiatied with false information and no clear plan of action? I could go on but the evidence is too extensive to record here. This convention is business as usual for the GOP. Luckily African Americans have a real alternative this year and I hope they will all flock to the Democratic ticket if they want to see change.

Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.
BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.) Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit
$69 bucks for a T-Shirt with those words? And she's the one who's suing? This is just stupid.

Well if she bought the shirt she obviously was intending to antagonize people. I don't know what she expected would happen.

States Fail to Offer Voter Registration to Millions of Low-Income Voters

Another rich against the poor propaganda piece. I am poor and I am registered to vote. And I’m in Florida.
If you can’t figure out how to register, you are too stupid to vote.
