US Hispanic Racial Dynamics
2008-06-01 13:58:00 This is an update to an earlier post, The Racial Makeup of Hispanics. For background on the issue, please refer to the previous post.This post will mostly deal with Hispanics in California, because that is where I live.In the previous post, we noted that Hispanics seemed to be getting darker (more Indian and Black and less White) with time in California and the Southwest. The first study, done in the early 80's in San Diego, showed CA Chicanos to be 68% White, 30% Indian and 2% Black.The second study, done in 1998, that show Arizona Chicanos were 57% White, 39% Indian and 4% Black. That figure is about the same as for California 14 years prior. This is because the Mexicans who go to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have traditionally been lighter than the ones who come to California.We now have a new study showing that by the year 2000, California Hispanics (overwhelmingly Mexicans and Chicanos) have become much darker over 16 years. The new study includes two surveys - one shows CA H...

Minaya doesn't see racial divide among Mets players
2008-05-28 13:39:00 Maybe if the New York Mets were winning a few more ballgames, there wouldn't be this much conversation about the demographics of the clubhouse, which you are now supposed to believe are more complicated — and fragmented — than the Democratic Party's wrote New York Daily New columnist Mike Lupica. Maybe if the Mets were in first place in the National League East the way they have been for a couple of years, up there in the standings instead of closer to last place, you wouldn't be hearing about this great wide cultural divide that is supposed to exist in the Mets clubhouse, and between the Mets players and their manager. And maybe you would never even hear this much about race on a team that doesn't have a Dominican-born general manager and an African-American manager out of Brownsville, Brooklyn. But you sure hear it around here lately. Suddenly, the clubhouse is the reason why the Mets have the record they do instead of the way they have played and especially the wa...

The Perils of Racial Solidarity
2008-05-23 15:59:00 A fellow South Carolinian, Kevin Alexander Gray has written a column at Black Agenda Report that points to the limits of racial solidarity, and the damage being done to the Black community by an unwillingness to examine Barack Obama's failings.The link is there, so I don't think I need to try to replete what Kevin is saying, but there is no doubt in my mind that he hits on many of the same reservations most Greens have.Gray was the Green Party endorsed write-in candidate for Governor of South Carolina before we had ballot access, and has been everything from director of the Carolina Peace Resource Center to a member of Nader's 2000 steering committee and currently serves as director of South Carolina's ACLU.

Racial Segregation? Yup, it's still around
2008-05-05 11:46:00 According to Wikipedia by 1968 all forms of segregation had declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court . That's great, now everyone can go to the same schools, stores, drinking fountains and restaurants to name a few. The coloreds and the whites are finally united as one big happy family and the color of your skin doesn't determine who you will become and what you can do with your life. Prior to those times the United States Constitution openly declared We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. So, as equals, why does the US Census Bureau divide us? What purpose does this have? Thanks to who my ancestors decided to hook up with I'm lumped into the White Non-Hispanic category, also know sometimes as Caucasian Non-Hispanic. Why aren't we listed as just US Citizens? If it's purely ascetics, why don't ...

CNN's John King Uses Journalism To Express Racial Opinion
2008-04-28 04:58:00 CNN's John King is a normally steady hand at reporting, but this night he took a wrong turn into a discussion for which he could not be objective, but uses the cover of reporting objectivity to make an emotional and disagreeable point. He did this in the AC/360 Blog post he wrote, and I've linked to here. This is the response I wrote there: I think the main problem is that the "process" of hearing what Rev. Wright says has been so distorted that some people -- not all -- tune out what he's saying after the original sound-bites have been aired. I think both John King and Merle Black are very guilty of this "myopic hearing" if you will. John, for actively seeking out someone who's Black to do John's talking for him, and Mr. Black, who's the willing participant in that process. This covers up the real need to hear not just what Rev. Wright has said, but who also said it. Let's take 9-11: anyone who looks at our history without blinders knows that Somalia was the birthplac...

2008-04-21 18:26:00 Track uses slurs to turn racism on its head: 'We all black within,' Nas raps.By Shaheem Reid Nas Photo: Jemal Countess/ Getty Images His "flow is as tight as Tootie's braces" — that's Tootie from the old sitcom "The Facts of Life" — and he's more militant than J.J.'s little brother Michael on "Good Times." Nas has finally released material from his forthcoming album, Nigger. The song, which is as provocative as the Queens MC has promised, is called "Be A Nigger Too"; Nas mentioned the song in an interview with MTV News back in November. The hook is borrowed from the old Dr. Pepper commercials with the lyrics "I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a pepper/ Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?" — with Nas' substituting N-word for "Pepper." Later in the song, he continues: "To all my 'kike' niggers, 'spic' niggers, 'guinea' niggers, 'chink' niggers/ That's right, y'all my niggers, too." The song's verses are lyrically c...

Many Americans are misguided in thinking that a Barack Obama win will settle the race discussion in the U.S., Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Hillary Clinton supporter who drew attention this weekend for pointed remarks about Obama, told FOX News on Wednesday. Following up on remarks he made to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in which he described Obama as a “mediocre” orator, Cleaver said he thought the Illinois senator will win the Democratic presidential nomination, but that doesn’t mean the work will be done trying to improve race relations in America. “I think whites would say, ‘How could anybody say we were racist, that we have any racist residue when you look what we just did (potentially electing Obama)?’ And African Americans would say, ‘Look at w...

Well, Le Bron James, I care and I'm a Black Man. I saw your cover photo in a local store and my first though was "What this hell was he thinking."

I don't think the fact that Annie Lebowitz was taking the shot meant much to you because you don't understand how huge she is separate from the photo; you're too young to know. But that's not what I'm writing about.Dude, you need to wake up. Fast. And before someone else uses you for some racially-insenstive reason.
