I've appreciated Professor Kim's News Notes since I first found it. Right now she's tracking seriously cogent commentary on Bill Cosby's poundcake speech:
and some seriously accurate commentary on the impact the Reagan presidency had on minority communities.The roots of these issues are complicated, and don't lend themselves to quick-hit conversations. But, since we've already invited white America to listen in on this long overdue conversation, it only makes sense that we take it out of its current, unhelpful, name-calling state, and into the realm of rational discussion.
This leaves me free to rant, be obscene and generally make a nuisance of myself.
