Stand Your Ground!!!

 

“History has proven there is only one way to get the attention of unmovable ideologies to achieve change. Matching and protests are strategies, which is nothing more than a good show for the cameras. For example, the March on Washington and the Million Man March produced little in terms of measurable results. On the other hand, BOYCOTT’s work – the Birmingham Bus Boycott and the Martin Luther King Holiday Boycott on the state of Arizona – WORKED! It is time to stop BS-ing and BOYCOTT FLORIDA and everything connected to it. We will then get change. And that’s my thought provoking perspective…”

Down Syndrome Man Attacked By Police

Florida resident Gilberto Powell, who has Down Sydrome, was abused by police who mistook his colostomy bag for a weapon.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

I love this article and I love it’s title.

 

Plus it’s an important topic for supporters of racial justice.

 

It covers:

 

  • What fetishism is
  • What about preferences? What if someone just happens to be attracted to a certain race?
  • Why are racial fetishes, especially Asian fetishes, such a widespread thing?
  • “I’m not sure if I have a racial fetish. How can I tell?”
  • The problems and consequences of racial fetishization
  • What can we do about racial fetishization?

Case Study: History, Myth, and Public Schools

 

“The following is a review sheet with answers exactly as sent to the parents of 5th grade students by the social studies teacher at a school near where I live. My analysis and thoughts follow the three centered diamond icons. Be sure to see the last paragraph for my full analysis. ”

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

It shows a sample of how poor of an education some of our students receive.

 

At least the topic is being taught though. Some school districts like in Phoenix canceled ethnic studies for fear that the students would become radical.

It’s the U.S.-Mexico border, not the Wild West

 

Now we have an idea why the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service was keeping secret an independent report of its encounters at the Mexican border. Because it has something to hide.

 

“…respond to rock throwing with live ammunition across an international border — on 22 occasions in 2012 — strikes us as excessive…”
