This site http://www.reparationsthecure.org/ is for CURE - Caucasians United for Reparations and Emancipation — it’s awesome.

Remember Father Pfleger - the white Catholic preist who defended Jeremiah Wright. Well, this is the latest deal with him http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080530/ap_on_el_pr/obama_pfleger

Father Pfleger does another awesome sermon (this time mocking Hillary’s white privilege and entitlemtn to the presidency): http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080530/ap_on_el_pr/obama_pfleger

Obama cowardly and cruelly scolds him for it by saying that the Father Pfleger is causing disunity and looking backwards. Father Pfleger then apologizes though he was totally in the right — and hillarious to boot.

Hey, love the blog, been reading for a while. I was trying to find an e-mail to write to you about an issue I have with your header image, but I’ll just comment here as this is the most recently updated post on the blog. I’m not sure exactly what you are meaning with the picture but I can guess it has to do with a couple of things, especially playing on the submissive Asian woman stereotype and demolishing it with this pic (and some other issues I’m sure), that’s all in good. However, this is my issue with the pic.

The picture is of a special forces unit of the Philippine National Police. The PNP have been linked to the kidnapping of human rights activists, labor activists, and students. They have also been linked (along with the AFP, Armed Forces of the Philippines) to the killing of activists, as well as though who weren’t anti-government, pro-democratic activists, but were just mistaken as such. They are essentially the armed thugs of President Gloria Arroyo. I actually was able to meet with Anne and Edith Burgos just a few months ago and was in Senator Boxer’s office with them, along with other leaders in the Pilipino American community, and heard first hand how AFP troops and possible some PNP folks abducted Anne’s brother (Edith’s son) in broad daylight at a restaurant in Manila. He is one of the many hundreds of those who are considered “Disapeared,” along with close to 1,000 Pilipinos killed by the AFP and PNP and/or forces loyal to Arroyo.

So, in my mind, the picture in your header brings up bad thoughts of political repression and state sanctioned violence of an anti-democratic regime which is funded through the U.S. So those PNP special forces folks are essentially the tip of the spear of imperialism and a genocidal government.

Just thought I’d share that and have you know.

Hi,

This is unrelated to the post here, but I couldn’t find an email address to send it to. Anyway, I thought you might find this interesting, although it doesn’t specifically deal with race: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1737667,00.html
