Commentary on the Sandyhook School Murders
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.” (Exodus 20:5) According to Pastor Richer Fowler means “Sin is hereditary. Sin gets passed down […]
Could you believe Some Americans still living in the Segregation Era
For a country that is supposed to be leading the world, some of the backward happenings there makes me shake my head. In 2012, a restaurant refuses the business of Black people because they are black, not because their money is black or anything but because of their skin colour? It is so sad and […]
Racism touted as a Personality Disorder
http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/05/new_oxford_handbook_of_personality_disorders_suggests_racism_is_an_illness.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+racewireblog+%28ColorLines%29 I am tempted to agree that some racist behaviours can be seen as a personality disorder. It is a mental illness that cannot embrace the truth because it conflicts with something to the contrary that is buried so deep within them that the idea of equality and that their beliefs have been wrong send […]
Irrational fear at the root of racism
Joel Ward, an African-Canadian hockey player’s winning game prompted losers to tweet a bunch of racist remarks. I feel sorry for those people who cannot stand the fact that the world is changing and has changed and with equal opportunity talents from any culture, colour, creed or race could rise to the top. That racist stain […]
What kind of scents Essence been smoking lately?
“Essence” Fires White Managing Editor for Racist Facebook Slurs Last year when black womens’ magazine Essence hired Michael Bullerdick, a white male, as its managing editor, it was lambasted for diverting from its original vision. In 2010, it had been the target of reader anger for hiring a white fashion director—a very controversial move for a […]
Does God Exist
One of the big questions that as human we face even if we claim to believe in a supreme being. Unless you have some kind of personal awakening that gives you definitive proof that God exist then how can you prove it. Anything we approach in terms of proof is neither here nor there. Because […]
The shock of the past revisited
An American woman posted a “White Only” sign at a pool for tenants in her building after a black woman swam in it. Could you believe this? Who are these dinosaurs? Times have changed but some people have to be dragged along and this is definitely one of them. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_LANDLORD_WHITE_ONLY_POOL?
Too close for comfort?
This video is about two women quarrelling on a crowded bus. The quarrel turned into a racist rant with one woman telling the other to go back where she came from. I think this should be taken in context. When people feel threatened and powerless they attack their opponents at their most vulnerable place in […]
Are we free yet?
This is a paradoxical situation. Visiting creative writing instructors conducted an exercise in which they invite students from the Horace Mann School, supposedly a prestigious school in the Bronx asked students to write words anonymously on index cards — remembrances, colors and references to pop-culture icons — that would then converge as poems which their peers would read […]
Another Police Officer utters Racial Slurs
What is a police officer thinking when he utters racial slurs about a black person. Is he being a racist or jerk? When he speaks to another person about his wrongdoing does he recognize a sort of collective collusion? Isn’t he concerned that this person may report him? Police Officers are people with a lot […]
