        <description><![CDATA[From: ghetto uprising on the low I wanted the Saints to lose because I don't think it's right for a partly publicly funded team to win while its city is in shoddy shape. business shouldn't prevail before people. and the NFL and its franchises are a ruthless, bottom-line business though they'd like us to forget.and contrary to media propaganda, I'm skeptical that the victory will have any lasting effect on the morale of New Orleans residents. folks will rejoice for a couple of weeks and then things will go back to normal and poor people will be poor and transient and bullets will fly and niggas in the wards will drop as usual. how many people who were hard hit by Katrina could have even afforded to sit in Sun Life Stadium this past Sunday evening?the real winners yesterday night were Roger Goodell, Tom Benson, and the other 31 pale franchise owners who will witness spiked revenues as a result of the feel-good, underdog, "community" team winning the big dance.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White A few nights ago, I was invited to hear Tim Wise speak here in Oakland.  For those who do not know him, the Nashville-born author/speaker is perhaps the most vociferous anti-racist you may ever get to hear.  He has written numerous books on the subject of White privilege, and has more to say on the subject than I could ever do justice in a posting.  Nevertheless, I offer up my summary of a man who undoubtedly competes with Morris Dees, of the Southern Poverty Law Center, for the title of ‘most hated White man in America’.Why is he so hate-worthy?  Well, like Dee’s, Wise has lost his mind, and his whiteness, when it comes to what he sees as unequal justice toward Blacks in America.  His overarching platform is a willingness to speak openly about White America’s racist past and present dealings, akin to a White Nashville preacher who suddenly woke up Black.  In fact, one of his books is titled, White Like Me.  Like Dees, and the most recent President Jimmy Carter, a southern Whit]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Brown Man Thinking Hard The Brown Man is back on Youtube.

The blog post I re-posted from July last week, titled "Racial Discrimination: The Reality Show" has joined the rest of my recent pieces on the Brown Man Thinking Hard channel on YouTube.

Perspective is one of the items that is missing from the national conversation on race. It is the lack of interest in fully appreciating the African American point of view when it comes to racial issues that has so many Americans clamoring for a "post-racial America", where they can conveniently ignore or sidestep many of the truths that Americas history of discrimination contains.

It's had me kind of hot lately.

So you know me - I had to say something about it.

And since I know that the real deal about the civil rights movement was this -- despite all the blood, sweat and tears that went into the movement for decades, it wasn't until the pictures of the viscous brutality being perpetrated against black Americans by the citizens of this nation began to circulate]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[A Thousand Cuts Will Bleed Your Enemy To Death]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Brown Man Thinking Hard I'm sitting here today, tooling around the DailyKos site, reading a few diaries because its too damn cold to go anywhere (yeah, I'm in Georgia, but anything under 60 degrees might as well be the Ice Ages to me). 

As I read through a diary titled "Honestly, I don't know if I can&nbsp; remain with the Democrats if they fail on healthcare", I wondered if my fictional political consulting group, BlackSheep Political Consultants, wasn't onto something yesterday when it jokingly suggested to Democratic incumbents that they all need to run for Congress as if they are the black candidate.

Maybe those of you in the progressive political camp who are faltering need to rethink your perspective.

Maybe you need to think about the fight for healthcare reform the way black people fought for the right to fully participate in American society - a struggle that took over a hundred years, a struggle that had its ups and downs, its naysayers and malcontents, as well as many, many setbacks along the wa]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Brown Man Thinking Hard Today's topic at my blog "Resurgence" on BigThink.com:


See Jerry Draw: Jerry Pinckney Wins Top Children's Book Illustrator Award

I can recall my very first reader like it was yesterday -- the phrase "See Spot run" and the image of a galloping dog with floppy ears is indelibly engraved in my memory. The pictures in these primers were as important as the words, helping to anchor in my young mind the meaning of each grouping of vowels and consonants. Last month, Jerry Pinckney became the first individual African American illustrator to win the Caldecott Medal, the American Library Association’s highest honor, for his adaptation of one of Aesop's fables, The Lion and the Mouse.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White Just a few days ago an older Black person asked me, “What is up with Black people walking around with combs in their hair?”  They had just watched a musician performing on television for Haiti earthquake relief; wearing a comb-head they thought was unattractive.  It’s easy to say this is just a style, but maybe it goes further than this. I said I’d look into it.The first thing to note is that you must have kinky hair to wear a comb.  In other words, Whites, Asians, Latinos, do not pass go, do not collect $200 style dollars.  Black folks love to come up with something cool that White folks can’t copy.  No Elvis interlopers, or M&M’s, pimp-walking in the back door.  Okay, some Jews (aka He-bros) can pull it off, but they were slaves too, so they’s coo’.Back in the day, the more practical reason for sticking combs in your hair was to keep a brother from going to jail.  The black-jack-looking afro and cake-cutter combs of the sixties and seventies could be purposefully mist]]></description>
