Pam Spaulding reports on a shocking situation at Algiers Point. Her story is excerpted from an A.C. Thompson article in "The Nation." Is this true, or a spoof?

Instead, a group of white residents, convinced that crime would arrive with the

It is a common tragedy for youth growing up watching Remember the Titans and Oprah to believe that the problem of race is all but a figment of the past.

Society tends to see things in black or white and often does not see shades of gray.

Racial prejudice is a theme in MRS.

According to Wikipedia by 1968 all forms of segregation had declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court .

The coloreds and the whites are finally united as one big happy family and the color of your skin doesn't determine who you will become and what you can do with your life.
Prior to those times the United States Constitution openly declared We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
So, as equals, why does the US Census Bureau divide us? What purpose does this have? Thanks to who my ancestors decide

If you plan on holidaying in an Asian city, you might want to consider Singapore. There may be many good reasons to make Singapore your first ever destination in Asia. First of all, the city is clean, orderly and safe for visitors to move around on their own. Then, if you are traveling to multiple Asian destinations, there is a bewildering range of full-service and budget airlines from Singapore Airport. Also, English is widely spoken here. But above all, Singapore offers the cultures of three ethnic groups: the Chinese, the Malays and the Indians. What can be more rewarding than seeing three Asian communities in one destination? Indeed, the descendants of Asian immigrants have made Singapore a melting pot of cultures, where age-old traditions still hold sway. Discover these unique tradit

SAY NO TO RACISMThe International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid "pass laws". Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination (resolution 2142 (XXI)).
Hoje é Dia Internacional pela Eliminação da Discriminação Racial. Essa data é uma lembrança aos mortos no massacre de Shaperville, África do Sul. Em 1960, na cidade de Joanesburgo, 20 mil negros estavam protestando contra a lei do passe, que obrigava as pessoas a andarem com cartões de identificação, que estabeleciam locais por onde elas podiam ou não passar. Apesar de pacífica, a manifestação teve um fim trágico: a polícia atirou na multidão e deixou 69 mortos e 186 feridos.

This posting is off topic for my blog but sometimes I come across extraordinary non-environmental stories that are worth blogging about. What is most disturbing, frustrating and true to the meaning of the word ignorant is that most people do not know they live in ignorance. They are prisoners of social constructs.

It is a complex scam and a disease. People really do reap what they sow and these people that attacked this woman ooze with ignorance and probably live a marginal existence.

Also, different groups that developed through time, some extremely militant, some not so much.Other subjects covered inclu
