My Story: Anon's
dreamerstories:
Everyone has a story and it seems like I have two – the real one and the superficial one. My story is lived by 2 million Americans – well, not so American. I am 24 years old and have been residing in the United States illegally since I was 8. This fact has shaped the way I have lived my life, but not the way I have dreamed about it.
When I was 8, I was put on a plane from...

Thoughts on Viola's loss
zebablah:
First of all - YES. Meryl Streep is a great actress. Let’s set that straight.
But her long, varied career has been made possible because she is a blonde, white, reasonably attractive woman who is afforded the access, the luxury of having the pick of the litter when it comes to meaty roles. That, coupled with her obvious talent, has built up her career.
The tragedy of Viola Davis...

CDC on racial differences in drug use:
“White high school students are seven times more likely than blacks to have used cocaine; eight times more likely to have smoked crack; ten times more likely to have used LSD and seven times more likely to have used heroin.

this is one of the reasons why an academic study of race is important; people of color make the same mistakes in naturalizing race as a defining or universal feature. this is one of my pet peeves, people who try to normalize race. a common way in which this is done is by thinking of history that existed before the conceptualization of race in racial terms.
