Race & Class in Ethical Consumption & Sustainability Movements
3rd June 2008
The site is Vegans of Color.
So the semester ended for me here at Vassar, and as all the seniors moved out of their on-campus apartments they threw out a lot food. So my friends and I did the reasonable thing for a bunch of broke students who are working on campus during the summer– we grabbed our backpacks and hit the dumpsters.
I am not making this up.
I don’t think it’s a parody site, but….

Nation of Islam to Police Miami
28th May 2008
Now, this sounds like a fantastic idea; put one of the most virulent hate groups operating openly in the US in charge of fighting crime in Miami….
The fact that they aren’t real Muslims isn’t that much of a comfort.

Mother And Daughter Still Blame MySpace For Not Protecting Her From Sexual Assault
1st April 2008
Some people don’t deserve to live in a technological society.
The girl’s lawyers claim that MySpace still had a responsibility to protect the girl, even though he doesn’t explain how it can protect a girl who lied about her age and then went off to meet with a much older guy in real life.
I’m sure Shari’a has some appropriate punishment for lawyers like this — cutting their tongue out, say.

Watch Out for That Pillow
1st April 2008
Read it.
Imagine you were a state legislator and some folks asked you to pass a law making it a crime to give advice about paint colors and throw pillows without a license. And imagine they told you that the only people qualified to place large pieces of furniture in a room are those who have gotten a college degree in interior design, completed a two-year apprenticeship, and passed a national licensing exam. And by the way, it is criminally misleading for people who practice interior design to use that term without government permission.
You might stare at them incredulously for a moment, then look down at your calendar and say, “Oh, I get it — April Fool!” Right? Wrong.

White People in the News – March 20th, 2008

The New York Times is, of course, the Official House Organ of White People.
I’m somewhat disappointed that, among the Things Mentioned, they didn’t include “Looking Down Your Trendier-Than-Thou Yuppie Nose At FlyOver Country”. That really ought to be in there.
