There are endless examples of why and how racism is happening now and totally relevant in the news every day. Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that some racists try to claim that “racism is over” or that it’s “not really a problem”.
This news also speaks to the fact that as ever, too many fraternities are just hothouses for race-and/or-gender-based...
One million dead in Iraq →
anticapitalist:
This is old but needs to be posted
OVER A million Iraqis are dead from America’s war.
That sentence is a cognitive litmus test. Some people’s immediate reaction is, “That can’t be right,” because the United States couldn’t do that. Or because crimes on that scale don’t still happen. Or because they do happen, but only in horrible places that the United States hasn’t rescued.

verbalresistance:
Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Thursday voted to cut a government subsidy programme known as “food stamps” that allows many low income Americans to eat. They also approved cuts to federal worker benefits and help for the elderly. Why? To avoid cuts to defence spending scheduled to take effect in 2013.

I think every church of any kind should expect to be reviewed just as we expect restaurants to be reviewed. If I want to be as fully informed as I can be before I put something in my body, that should cover beliefs as well as food.
