"Care": Word Means the Public's Health Isn't Optional |
September 30, 2009
|
With Max Baucus sinking the public option in committee, and debate still raging about our national health crisis, let's take a step back from the discussion and look at the fundamentals of our conversation. When we say 'health care,' whose health do we really care about? How can we talk about a 'public option' when racial disparities are killing members of our public every day, while costing us hundreds of billions over the next ten years? When undocumented members of our public pay daily ... |

Rinku Sen: "Illegal" Word is a Gateway to Racism and Exploitation |
September 09, 2009
|
Perhaps the most talked-about moment of President Obama's address to Congress last night followed the dismissal of rumors that the new health care plan would cover 'illegal immigrants.' Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) was so outraged that he yelled, from the floor, "You lie!" Wilson was willing to undermine his party — because he was so infuriated by the idea that Obama's plan might provide care to a certain group of people. Why is our conversation around immigration so often driven to extremes, both ... |

Chinatown's Superlong Recession: Interview with CPASF's Shaw San Liu |
August 25, 2009
|
Shaw San Liu of the Chinese Progressive Association, San Francisco. cpasf.org For communities of color, 'recovery' can be a vapid term. People of color consistently face rates of unemployment higher than what whites experience in the worst recessions. Meanwhile, people of color in the labor market are pulling in wages of 60 cents for every dollar that white people earn. If this is what recovery is going to look like, we've got a problem. It's time we take seriously that some people are ... |

Schwarzenegger's Blockbuster Budget Cuts Terminate the Safety Net |
August 13, 2009

Reverse Racism: Word Distracts from the Big White Elephant of Systemic Racism |
July 16, 2009
|
As posted to racewire: www.racewire.org Ever since Sonia Sotomayor, a Latina woman, was first mentioned as a contender for the Supreme Court, weve heard a lot from some quarters about how her success has been nothing more than the result of reverse racism. arcs Terry Keleher digs into the term and explains that reverse racism is nothing more than a way for those in power to change the subject away from systemic racism, a system that puts people of color at a disadvantage from birth until ... |

Michael Jackson's Mark on a Black-or-White World |
June 25, 2009
|
He tipped his hat and moonwalked across the stage like no one had ever before. Even Fred Astaire had to give Michael his props. But today, Thursday, June 25, the King of Pop is dead. Michael Jackson's made his mark on the world, body and soul. But what we must not forget is that world marked Jackson as well. In his last days, assimilation and denial were sadly written all over his face. In death, we pray that peace finally finds the music man. as posted to racewire.org |

June 18, 2009
|
Welcome to the second installment of our new video series, WORD!, in which we take a look at the language that controls the discourse around race. Todays WORD! is: "Merit" In a meritocracy, perfection is realized. It has to be. Right? Every day we run into those undeniable virtuous people (our family, our friends, ourselves) who never needed a helping hand and purely through hard work and high moral character have earned their high social status. So those who dont excel in life (incidentally ... |

WORD! "Colorblind" Word Twists Good Intentions, with Tammy Johnson. People who claim to be colorblind must lead a charmed life.
