....The Voting Rights Act: Civil Rights: The Real World: In Black & White.... "To begin with, the record contains numerous 'examples of modern instances' of racial discrimination in voting… . Just a few recent examples: Kilmichael, Mississippi’s abrupt 2001 decision to cancel an election when 'an unprecedented number' of African Americans ran for office… ; Webster County, Georgia’s 1998 proposal to reduce the black population in three of the education board’s five single-member districts after the school district elected a majority black school board for the first time… ; Mississippi’s 1995 attempt to evade preclearance and revive a dual registration system 'initially enacted in 1892 to disenfranchise Black voters' and previously struck down by a federal court… ; Washington Parish, Louisiana’s 1993 attempt to reduce the impact of a majority-African American district by 'immediately creat[ing] a new at-large seat to ensure that no white incumbent would lose his seat,'… ; Waller County, Texas’s 2004 attempt to reduce early voting at polling places near a historically black university and its threats to prosecute students for 'illegal voting,' after two black students announced their intent to run for office ... ." - "Shelby County, AL v.

….In His Own Words: James Cone: Black Liberation Theology…. "I would define 'black liberation theology' as mainly a theology that sees God primarily as concerned with the poor and the weak in society. And since this theology comes out of the black community, we call it 'black liberation theology.' But it's not just for black people in a narrow sense of that term, it is for black people in the sense that it focuses on the concerns of blacks who are living and who are voiceless in this society. That makes it 'black liberation theology.' But it is concern about the gospel for everybody, and if everybody is for the gospel in this society, then they are for the poor and the weak. And if you are for the poor and the weak, you are also concerned about the liberation of black people too. So 'black theology' is an understanding of the gospel which sees justice for the poor as the very heart of what the Christian gospel is about, and the very heart of what God is doing in this world. God is taking sides with those who are voiceless and weak, and he is empowering them to know that they were not made for slavery, not made for exploitation, but [were] made for freedom like everybody else in the world." … "… So black is black self-esteem." … - "Black Liberation Theology: In Its Founder's Words": Terry Gross: "Fresh Air": WHYY: ….Con:text: "Got Social Fai(R)ness?"…. |

"Scattered pages and shattered lights, See the jackknife, See the dream - Sonic Youth: "Eric's Trip"/"Daydream Nation": Enigma: 1988 "The question is: 'If I were elected and Congress were to pass the DREAM Act, would I veto it?' And the answer is yes." - Mitt Romney: 12/31/11: Le Mars, IA: Fox News/Foxnews.com "… The Church regards the declaration of the Utah Compact as a responsible approach to the urgent challenge of immigration reform. It is consistent with important principles for which we stand: We follow Jesus Christ by loving our neighbors. The Savior taught that the meaning of 'neighbor' includes all of God’s children, in all places, at all times. We recognize an ever-present need to strengthen families. Families are meant to be together. Forced separation of working parents from their children weakens families and damages society. We acknowledge that every nation has the right to enforce its laws and secure its borders. … Public officials should create and administer laws that reflect the best of our aspirations as a just and caring society. Such laws will properly balance love for neighbors, family cohesion, and the observance of just and enforceable laws." - "Church Supports Principles Of Utah Compact On Immigration": 11/11/10 ...."Got Social Just:ICE?".... |

"In my state we joke 'vote early and vote often' and I am afraid the other side has been doing that a bit too much in some places. I like Voter ID laws by the way…more of them." - "Romney Supports Walker And Voter ID Law": Gilman Halstead: 4/2/12: Wpr.org ….Da(R)k Shadows: 1890…. "Although the Lodge bill did not become law, its introduction frightened many southerners. … To forestall this possibility, and check the movement for federal intervention, white suffrage 'reformers' suggested cleaning up elections back home. They traced the problem of corruption to the presence of Negro voters in the electorate, and hence they suggested disfranchisement as a solution. According to their reasoning, taking the right to vote away from blacks would ensure honest elections, because competing white candidates would not be tempted to buy or steal Negro votes in order to win the contests. Henry Grady, the apostle of the 'New South,' explained the rationale behind disfranchisement: 'Let the whites divide, what happens? Here is this dangerous and alien influence that holds the balance of power. It cannot be won by argument, for it is without information, understanding, or traditions. It must be bought by race privileges granted as such, or by money paid outright.'" - "Black Ballots: Voting Rights In The South 1944-1969": Steven F. Lawson …."Got Eight Box Ballot?"…. |

"Although incumbent President Lyndon Johnson painted Republican nominee Barry Goldwater as a war candidate, Johnson could not appear to be weak. He was a Texan, dammit, with all the pop-mythology baggage that the label carried. He regarded himself as a macho-man. Some months after Johnson's election, at a small White House meeting, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg asked the President why we were in Vietnam. Johnson unzipped his fly, pulled out his penis, and said, 'This is why.' … On March 24, just after the first Marines landed in Vietnam, Assistant Secretary of State for National Security Affairs John McNaughton outlined in a memo to his boss, Robert McNamara, the goals of the American activities in SVN (South Vietnam): 70% - to avoid a humiliating defeat (to our reputation as guarantor): 20% - to keep SVN (and the adjacent) territory from Chinese hands: 10% - to permit people of SVN to enjoy a better way of life.

"This is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem. I have never seen a more irresponsible President who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everyone else for his failure to first diagnose the problem and second to address the problem." - "Michele Bachmann: Obama 'Waving A Tar Baby In The Air'": 4/19/12: Javier Manjarres: “It will be noticed that Br'er Rabbit's triumphs over all ‘de odder beasties’ is the most prominent feature of all these legends which, by the way, seem as innocent of any moral motif as the animals themselves. It must be remembered that the Rabbit represents the colored man. He is not as large nor as strong, as swift, as wise, nor as handsome as the elephant, the alligator, the bear, the deer, the serpent, the fox, but he is ‘de mos' cunnin' man dat go on fo' leg’ - and by this cunning he gains success.

U.S. Government Policy U.S. policy is to press the government to respect religious freedom and honor its public commitment to permit private religious worship by non-Muslims, eliminate discrimination against minorities, promote respect for non-Muslim religious belief, and combat violent extremism. Senior U.S. government officials raised these issues at the highest levels within the MOIA, MOI, HRC, MOE, and Ministry of Culture and Information during the reporting period. U.S. government officials also continued to meet with minority religious groups to discuss religious freedom concerns, including Shia groups and non-Muslim expatriates. Additionally, Saudi government officials regularly participate in U.S. government visitor programs to promote tolerance and interfaith dialogue.” - “International Religious Freedom Report: July - December, 2010”: ...."Got Smart Power?".... |
