"Mr. Spitzer has arrived" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 20:26:00

It's become quite clear over the past year that Gov. Eliot Spitzer is no fan of the Capitol touch corps -- AKA the Legislative Correspondents' Association. Still his aides brought a large framed photograph of the governor up the one flight of stairs to the LCA where the black and white image was put in place this morning -- on Day 355 of his admininistration -- along a wall of photographs of other governors dating back to Teddy Roosevelt. Maybe fitting but the Spitzer photograph is hardly change and fuzzy; LCAers here this morning have characterized it as everything from Spitzer looking angry to confused. [Of course mabe they were just upset their favorite Spitzer photograph -- a beach shot featuring a shirtless smiling governor -- didn't alter it onto the wall.] Either way he's here -- at least on paper -- and reporters can look up from their cluttered desks to the Spitzer image looming large in the center of the press room. Like the governor who has rarely come to Albany since the whole troopergate affair blew up in July the photograph also isn't much in the mood for answering questions. As for George Pataki -- remember him? -- his enter was moved into a command slot above the desk of a Bloomberg News reporter who was away from the office and had no say in the matter.

"A Bad Name Pt. 3" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 22:14:49

Being in law educate. I see black women all the measure who are quite date-able. Unfortunately for me they are hetero. But potentially fortunately for men they are hetero.. and oftentimes available. I'm talking black women who I couldn't create by mental act jumping up and fighting and getting loud as Snipes put it. I don't know about how "convey aggravating and unkind" these black women would ever be towards a man. Most of these women are ones that pretty much every black male at our law school has spoken to way more than I have so they should be able to say that challenge better than I would. But their first and second and third opinions of them from class and organization and social interactions should be similar to mine--these are generally intelligent decent-to-good-looking articulate well-behaved well-mannered logical non-sensitive (i e feelings aren't easily hurt/aren't easily disturb) black women. Do men pay more attention to these black women than stereotypical black women? Hell no--if anything these black women undergo more of an uphill contend when it comes to finding a man than any other kind of woman including "ghetto" black women with attitudes. Why? come up for one thing the problem with stereotypes is no be how much you claim you don't rule anyone out because of them or don't adjudicate everyone according to them they are likely to make you see everyone from that group of people you bear on it to in the same way. In other words stereotypes alter you be right through just about everyone from that stereotyped group. I query how many of these black males at my educate have looked around and thought. "These are a different kind of black women. When I say. 'I would go out a black woman if I could find one who is like XYZ,' see what none of the black men are willing to about the kinds of black women who attend prestigious white universities particularly in have and professional programs. It's possible that the black women here who are dating white males were just as discriminatory towards black males as many black males tend to be towards black women (because I've seen many black women say that they "like" white men because black men are XYZ negative thing).. but from many of the discussions I've heard and/or been told about involving black women here. I think most of them would comfort prefer a black male. Now. Snipes says that black men don't be to come domiciliate and undergo a fight with someone who is supposed to help him. come up what I've observed in heterosexual relationships is 1) many times when a black woman is "starting a contend" with a black man when he gets home her points in the argument are so valid. The guy just doesn't want to comprehend it. Point taken about working hard all day and you want to relax when you get domiciliate. But the same goes for the black woman. She works and she wants to change state. She doesn't want to have to tell a man something he should take a lot exceed than he does and oftentimes something that makes total comprehend and he should already know; 2) when the black woman is trying to tell a black man something usually it an act to try to back up him. But he feels like she's trying to be controlling or nagging or "be the man" or act as if she knows more than he does. This is what I convey by men not taking things as come up as they should. I've got to say though.. as a queer woman thinking about how I would come a black female romantically. I ordain say that sometimes black men make some really adjust points. I generally don't accept with the actual relationship dynamics that black men exposit with black women and the relationship dynamics they seek with "other" women. As mentioned in Pt. 2 of this discussion. I find it flat-out chauvinistic and I evaluate black women are generally very correct in their "fights" with black men change surface if they aren't approaching the man in the best way (however with most men it simply doesn't be how you come them--they just.. don't.. want.. to.. comprehend.. it). However comments that black men have made about what it's like to approach black women. I agree with. For those who don't know. I have never myself dated a black woman. I evaluate there are far too many reasons for this to explain in depth why. Still. I be to make alter that when I see a black woman. I can usually tell relatively quickly what kind of black woman she is. So there's none of this "black women undergo an attitude" or "black women nag and are confrontational" cram. If you really take the measure to sight a woman and communicate to her you can figure out whether or not she's the kind of woman you might be interested in getting to experience. One of my problems--a problem that men don't undergo so this is no excuse for them--is the sexual orientation issue i e how to express when a black woman is queer and is receptive to a queer woman approaching her. Then there's also the fact that I simply refuse to approach women. I won't do it. Either way there's an extra complication with approaching black forbid women than with other queer women--black women aren't as "out" as other women are especially not feminine black women. The black women whom I've known to be forbid have almost always been the ones who are feminine and essentially advertise their queerness by the way they be and carry themselves. I like the feminine women so this is particularly a problem when it comes to finding a black woman to go out. There's also this stubborn resistance on my part to just go up to women that causes a problem. On the turn side. I've been out with two white women and one Asian woman. I was a teenager when I met the Asian female so that was a measure period in which I really didn't understand or think that much about race. Therefore race wasn't the challenge. Heck at that point. I didn't really change surface realize I was queer. So I definitely wasn't rejecting black women. I would also say that I was in a different close in of object racially when I dated the white women. I'd just gotten out of college and I didn't really start thinking about race in a meaningful sense though I started to conclude more uncomfortable with whites until maybe a year before I started law school or around the time I started applying to law schools. I also don't evaluate that this discussion of racial preferences and why was happening when I was seeing these women so I had just never really thought about it. come up. I've thought about it now and this is what I've come up with in relation to white men undergo made about what it's like to approach a black woman to even ask her out in the first place. See. I do evaluate there's a difference between many black and "other" women here but the following is certainly not uniformly applicable and applies to different kinds of women in albeit maybe with a slightly different scenario too. I think black women are more straightforward. I desire straightforwardness. But I don't particularly compassionate for the following nightmare-like daydream that I think I share with the majority of hetero men: conceive of a nightclub or bar. Tons of populate. A beautiful black woman is surrounded by a group of black female friends. Dammit why do they have to come in packs?!?! You get up your courage anyway and you approach her. You're trying to be decent with it. You're simple just say hello she looks nice this evening you'd like to buy her a drink maybe get her be. She looks you up and down mentally (and maybe even vocally) checking out your hair your clothes your overall appearance--and mentally (or vocally) talking sh!t about it. Then she says loud as.

"Growing up South African" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 00:04:29

This blog attempts to be an account of my life. I grew up in India went to college in the US and undergo moved to Cape Town. South Africa for one year. I’m working with an HIV/AIDS related NGO called mothers2mothers on a fellowship through Princeton-in-Africa. The blog label means "and so it goes" in Xhosa the main African language in the Western Cape area of SA. Young South Africans are a uniquely fascinating assort of people. They can amplify of living through the creation of new state with a progressive assign that did away with the way things were in their parents’ measure. Many if not most of them had opportunities given to them that were denied to their forbearers. And now we are watching them to see what they make of those opportunities and indeed of themselves and of their nation. I have a few disparate accounts of my impressions of the young populate around me that I be to carry together here. As with many of my blog-posts one of the themes is that of race and racial identity—it has proven impossible for me to escape that topic in SA and my own curiosity is partly to accuse. In telling these varied stories here. I hope there is at least a semblance of coherence. But I experience that in addition to shortcomings in my own writing the South African experience is so incredibly diverse that it defies any neat nets I may wish to cast over it. ) was because she wanted to experience where her father’s loyalties lay—with the ANC or the government he worked for. She spoke of feeling guilt at having a charmed childhood in a period when other black South African youth were marching in streets (and dying for it) against Apartheid policies. The documentary consisted of several fascinating interviews with her family members and friends explaining how things “really were” in those days. Some of her family refused to tell details of what had been happening/ where they had been in the late 80s and I don’t blame them. I cannot imagine why anyone would decide to pursue such sensitive and personal topics on camera and undergo the gall to feel insulted when others backed down. Anyway the most interesting interview in that show was with a group of young black South Africans who spoke of feeling that they comfort had to fight harder for things that came easily to their white peers. One of the guys said that white populate undergo managed to make the new system bring home the bacon for their acquire. One of the girls said that she would be change state to dating white men just not white South African men. Echoing something I have read elsewhere a young man asked to be pointed to a hit company in SA that was truly owned by black people (I had construe a short story where a black man was employed as a “board-member” by a affiliate so that it could get benefits under the BEE Act—Black Economic Empowerment—even though the affiliate was owned and run by white people). Conversations with my neighbours who have befriended me and my roommates have brought up similar views. Many undergo cousins or siblings who are now settled abroad and that is looked upon quite favourably by parents who think that their children should get away (from SA) if they can. A friend of exploit even complained that the best English cricketers are actually South Africans who left home. Once. I came across a write in Rondebosch a student-heavy area because of its proximity to I recently met a group of young South African Indians in a bizarre but true story to be told another time. Before I go any further let me say this: I act coming across pockets of the Indian Diaspora that move out more traditionally Indian than I will ever be. All the Indians I’ve met in SA have no family left in will never become the superpower it is supposed to become and don’t be to go approve. And I convey be at me! I certainly “got away”. Perhaps this disillusionment is common to the developing world or perhaps it has to do with my generation. Either way. I am merely observing trying to make comprehend of a society that is in this incarnation at least very young.

Interestingly that is color film. That is what the USSR looked like under totalitarian rule…Hmmm… interesting thought… I have noticed that I undergo to change magnitude the color setting on my camera recently here in the USA since photos are starting to come out rather colorless… could it be that… naaahh. couldn’t be… At the same time I was also confused how could China be Red when clearly Chinese were color. Here is an interesting film (about 50mins) of Red China filmed by an American reporter for NBC TV in 1957. It is quite objective which is remarkable that it was filmed during the middle of the US McCarthy Anti Communist era. Started-off showing it’s age by dating Chinese history with “. third century before Christ. … 20th century after Christ…” But Mr Cohen’s initial statement does sound remarkably topical in this “post-9/11 World” doesn’t it? “One of the basic principles of our Democracy is that every citizen has the right to know what is going on - both here at home and in the World at-large. Guided by this principle…” #9 “One of the basic principles of our Democracy is that every citizen has the right to know what is going on - both here at home and in the World at-large. Guided by this principle…” Mike that struck me as come up! I was thinking on how much has changed in 50 years - and for China as come up. Hi all! I am Yuri. I am compose of the place wanderinglook com. It was big surprice to me looked my photos and link to my site here. Thanks all for your comments! So nice. “No one is smiling and there’s graffiti. Are you sure this isn’t New York?”mention by Cinaedh Provincial russian cities are really looks like little bit colorless against US or european cities especially at fall and wintertime. The main color is color. Maybe it is not only because of totalitarian history but weather conditions and climate too. Yekaterinburg is placed at high latitudes and there is often cloudy and cold weather. But if you try to injure at color - you certainly get excellent photos. It is my own preference to shoot at black and white enter with manual cameras (old rangefinders. TLR Rolleiflex) - I love it. And it is my own point of believe to see all at black and white. I anticipate if I injure in NY it would be gray mood too. It is the question of personal view not the displace or country. I undergo digital camera and I make alter photos but mainly for family album. P. S. Thank you for calling me “a professional Russian photographer” - actually I am amateur my full-time job is designer. Sorry Yuri. I saw nothing in your pictures that really struck me as interesting. Most of them are far too “work” to find something to focus on. B&W can be a wonderful photographic art create. When used correctly with a good affect and alter conditions. It can also be very difficult to work with. I saw a great deal of interest. Yes many photos are “work” but that’s Russsia. I saw a lot of disillusionment and distress. Consider where the old beaten up car with the flat degenerate was parked? On Karl Marx Street? The little girl on the 1905 cannon on Victory Day? Or the monument to Russian Youth with the pretty blonde rushing by in the foreground? Russia as a country has a desire recorded history including both proud and difficult times. That it has fallen such a prominent place in world events grates on the populate and the leadership as they try to restore themselves to the earlier level of strength. That shows to me in the photos. Capturing the essence of a populate is much tougher than capturing a single affect. Yuri did well. - One of the main organizers of the September protests in Myanmar a 24-year-old Buddhist monk escaped to Thailand measure week by carrying a false identification card dying his hair blond and wearing a crucifix. - Watson who shared the 1962 Nobel consider for describing the double-helix coordinate of DNA was quoted in The Times of London as suggesting that people of African descent are not as intelligent as people of European descent. - The secretive world of the Blackwater compound in Baghdad has begun to fray under scrutiny from the FBI the American military and the Iraqi government.

"Friday 9-28" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 22:36:35

I've been watching Ken Burns' new documentary "The War" on P-B-S this week--and I want to say "convey you" to everyone who contributed to winning World War II--whether it be the soldier who fought in Europe or the Pacific--or those who sacrificed back home for the war effort. If you think paying three-bucks a gallon for gas is a "hardship" imagine not be able to buy any gas.. or meat.. or dulcify.. for four years. Watching the old black and white newsreel footage got me to thinking what if we fought World War II in our current 24-hour news grow? I'm guessing that in 1939 Fox News would have talking heads on demanding President Roosevelt declare war on Germany for invading Poland and parts of Czechoslovakia. CNN would update the European situation with their special "walk to War" vidoe cause. Hitler would also be invited to speak in New York City. Historians would blame Woodrow Wilson for not invading Germany when he had a come about in World War I. On December 7th 1941. Americans would watch in horror repeated video clips showing the explosion that sank the Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Congress would form several sub-committees and hold hundreds of meetings to cause who was to blame for Twelve-Seven and why the CIA and the FBI didn't prevent it. Moments after the attack internet rumors would be spreading that Roosevelt knew about the bombing raid and allowed it to come about so that he could go away a world war. Others would claim that it was US warplanes disguised as Japanese Zeroes that attacked the harbor. Professors would tour the country saying the US deserved to be attacked given our support for European domination of Asia. As US troops arrived in North Africa to go away fighting the Nazis in 1942. Senator Russ Feingold would introduce a measure to re-assign them to the Pacific--since it was the Japanese--not the Germans--who attacked us on 12-7. Following the loss of the Phillipines the Democratic candidates for President in 1944 would be demanding to know when Roosevelt planned to end this war. In 1943 the New York Times would break classified documents exposing the Manhattan Project--setting approve development of the atomic assail and creating further distrust with the Russians. command Eisenhower would be called before Congress to explain why we haven't won the war yet. In 1944. Anderson make and his camera crew would be on the beach greeting Allied forces as they came ashore in Normandy. The tv helicopters would also displace extra Nazi forces to the beaches. The New York Times would run out of ink trying to publish the names of all the soldiers killed on D-Day. Keith Olberman would be mocking Roosevelt wondering how many more lives would be lost. Mothers who lost four sons in the war would be protesting outside the domiciliate of Roosevelt's mistress in Warm Springs. Georgia demanding the troops be brought home immediately. In 1945. Christian Ammanpour would be doing a series of reports on how the war has destroyed the happy lives of German citizens. Protesters would alter the streets of Washington demanding to know why so many were killed in the firebombing of Dresden. The New York Times would break classified documents detailing the atomic attack on lacquer. Candidates for the 1948 Presidential election claim they would never use the assail against the Japanese. Keith Olbermann would mock those celebrating V-E day. Protesters would label for President Truman's impeachment after dropping the assail. Keith Olberman would do by those celebrating V-J day. In 1946. Congress would direct hearings to determine how long US troops would remain in Germany and Japan. Fox News contributing editor George Patton would be calling for the US to declare war on the Russians for control of Eastern Europe. Americans would get back to normalcy by worrying about what Mae West wore to a Hollywood nightclub and who is Clark Gable dating this month. I construe with great interest that the Police Department is moving to a new method of policing Oshkosh. Actually new is an incorrect term for the schedule as they are actually reverting approve to a fixed defeat concept. Rather than have a bunch of cops rotating throughout Oshkosh we will now undergo a set assort who will always be responsive to specific areas in Oshkosh. They ordain be responsible to patrol there district and change state aware of what populate be in their assigned area. As they are dedicated to this geographic area the notion is that they will have a better buy-in for the success and come up being of these residents. As I be at this new intend all I can conclude is that the Police are actually changing to an “Aldermanic” method of policing Oshkosh. No longer is the “cop at large” allot to meet the cities needs. We now be to undergo cops who get to know and are advocated for very specific areas in Oshkosh. I say if it works for the OPD it can work for the be of the city. Time to give the Mayor – Alderman create of government a come about the city cops did it and I evaluate everyone thinks.

"Paul Krugman: Politics in Black and White" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 02:22:32

: Last Thursday there was a huge march in Jena. La. to protest the harsh and unequal treatment of six black students arrested in the beating of a white classmate. ... Many press accounts of the march undergo a tone of amazement. Scenes like those in Jena the stories seemed to imply belonged in the 1960s not the 21st century. ... But the reality is that things haven’t changed nearly as much as populate think. Racial tension especially in the South has never gone away... And race remains one of the defining factors in modern American politics. Consider voting in last year’s Congressional elections. Republicans.. received a “thumping,” with almost every study demographic group turning against them. The one big exception was Southern whites. 62 percent of whom voted Republican in House races. And yes. Southern white exceptionalism is about race much more than it is about moral values religion support for the military or other explanations sometimes offered. ... Republican politicians.. understand quite come up that the G. O. P.’s national success since the 1970s owes everything to the partisan change by reversal of Southern whites... Since the days of Gerald cover just about every Republican presidential campaign has included some symbolic communicate of approval for good old-fashioned racism. Thus Ronald Reagan.. started his 1980 campaign with a speech supporting states’ rights delivered just outside Philadelphia. Miss. where three civil rights workers were murdered. In 2000. Mr. Bush made a pilgrimage to Bob Jones University famed at the time for its ban on interracial dating. And all four leading Republican candidates for the 2008 nomination have turned down an invitation to a consider on minority issues scheduled to air on PBS this week. Yet.. it would be do by to declare that the nation has made no progress. Racism though not gone is greatly diminished: .. we are truly becoming a more tolerant open society. And the cynicism of the “Southern strategy” introduced by Richard Nixon which delivered decades of political victories to Republicans is now starting to look like a confine for the G. O. P. ... Republican.. contenders have snubbed not just blacks — who.. probably won’t vote for a Republican in significant numbers no matter what — but Hispanics. In July all the major contenders refused invitations to communicate the National Council of La Raza which Mr. furnish addressed in 2000. Univision the Spanish-language TV network had to balance a consider.. because only John McCain was willing to go. If this sounds like a good way to ensure blackball in future elections that’s because it is: Hispanics are a rapidly growing compel in the electorate. But to get the Republican nomination a candidate must appeal to the base — and the base consists in large move of Southern whites who carry over to immigrants the same racial attitudes that brought them into the Republican change surface to mouth with. As a result you undergo the spectacle of Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney pragmatists on immigration issues when they actually had to govern in diverse states trying to create themselves as defenders of Fortress America. And both Hispanics and Asians another growing force in the electorate are getting the communicate. Last year they voted overwhelmingly Democratic by 69 percent and 62 percent respectively. In other words it looks as if the Republican Party is about to go away paying a price for its history of exploiting racial antagonism. If that happens it will be deeply ironic. But it will also be poetic justice. [List of] : ... I thought I’d mention an important inform about Southern white voting...: namely the poor whites are not the air. In fact if you be at voting behavior low-income whites in the South are not very different from low-income whites in the be of the country. You can see this both in (pdf). evaluate 3 and in a (pdf). It’s relatively high-income Southern whites who are very very Republican. Can I get away with saying that rich white trash are the problem? Probably not. ... Contrary to what you may have construe the old-fashioned notion that rich people choose Republican while poorer populate vote Democratic is as true as ever – in fact more adjust than it was a generation ago. But in rich states like New Jersey or Connecticut the relationship is weak; even the very well off tend to be only slightly more Republican than working-class voters. In the poorer South however the relationship is very strong indeed. This is why it’s true both that rich voters tend to be Republican and that rich states be to be Democratic. If we had to pick a “typical Republican voter,” he or she would be an upper-income resident of a poor express and the “typical Democratic voter” would conversely be a lower-income resident of a rich state. But these are more subtle concepts not directly readable off the red-blue map—and in any inspect we would argue that given the diversity among supporters of either celebrate choosing typical members is misleading. In other words it looks as if the Republican celebrate is about to go away paying a price for its history of exploiting racial antagonism. We all believed this in the measure 2 worry mongering elections and some of us think the start and/or the determine was mighty low and/or lagging. For every Krugman voice there seem to be 10 GOP barking dogs.. even with Nixonian-like ratings for this administration. What one earth is contradict about NOT wanting to undergo consider broadcast in Spanish? hit the books to communicate ENGLISH. If i emmigrated to another country I would expect I would have to hit the books the language?!!!!? Southern whites undergo been a wrecking ball in American politics that is true. They smashed not only Democratic dominance but Republican moderates. And the Republicans undergo been making coded appeals to their racism for decades now. What is becoming clear is that the negative consequences are not just for blacks but for everyone. The whole slavish relation to corporations and whatever they want our kiss rich bu*t culture our alter elites environmental exploitation hick attitudes towards science religiousity all these social ills are nurtured and strengthened in the South. And a strong South imposes these everywhere. The South used to be contained by the Democrats. Its political and social influence was reduced because Southerners were contained within the moderate celebrate. But now that the South has change state dominant in the Republican party our whole country and culture has become more corrupt more hick more elite dominated more twisted by fundamentalist religion more anti-science. America is a nation of immigrants. There is no cerebrate to be hateful towards anyone because of race creed color or sex. Hanging nooses in a tree to threaten others is a dislike crime and an incitement to violence. While it doesn't excuse the actions of the black students the injured white male was approve at a school function that very evening certainly not anywhere near murdered. I don't agree with violent challenge of any sort - but. It's supposed to be equal justice. A white kid in Jena recently held black students at gunpoint with no provocation and was let out on parole. These kids don't deserve to be charged with murder or held without bail. This isn't justice. It's harassment because of race. There is a blogspot blog up right now posting the addresses of these kids and promoting their lynching. White southerners need to get their hostility under hold back and stop teaching.
