When you're defending nazi salutes, you're telling me that you're a nazi.
About Elon's Nazi salute, I'll again post this video, which shows Elon's salute side by side with the salute as…
The only thing a beggar provides you with is a blessing/karma, which has no economic value, although I would still…
Well, clearly at least one does. God knows Musk doesn’t have to work another day in his life and hasn’t…

The Future of Humanity is White and Male (Again)
The History Channel’s “Life After People” is one of my favorite TV series, so I was amused to see this mention of an “Immortality Drive” that’s apparently in space at this very moment. The Immortality Drive is a kind of high-tech time capsule; put together by video game auteur Richard Garriot, it contains messages […]

Iran and American Imperialism
I haven’t said anything about the situation in Iran, mostly because I don’t feel qualified to speak about it. I’m watching it, though, following the Twitter feeds obsessively and learning as much as I can about Iran’s history. I’ve been finding fellow blogger Richard Jeffrey Newman’s posts over at Alas especially illuminating about […]

Original ABWs: Harriet Tubman
I was born in the Seventies, and my parents did the proper post-Civil-Rights-Era childrearing thing of bombarding me with Afrocentricity from birth, since they knew I’d get soaked in Eurocentricity once I hit school-age. So I didn’t read “traditional” Grimm-esque fairy tales until I was much older; instead I got stuff like “Why Mosquitoes […]

Ordinary Heroes
Heard about this through the Carl Brandon mailing list:
While the facts surrounding the kidnapping and rescue of the Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips have been widely reported, less well-known is that ship which saved him was commanded by a black woman, Rear Admiral Michelle Howard.
Howard received the assignment of leading the U.S. Navy’s counter-piracy task […] Continue reading

It’s Sotomayor!
Obama has picked Sonia Sotomayor as the next Supreme Court nominee! …But already the bullshit begins:
“Judge Sotomayor is a liberal activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important than the law as written,” said Wendy E. Long, counsel to the Judicial Confirmation Network, an activist group. “She thinks […] Continue reading

Original ABWs: Nina Simone
Note from nojojojo: One of the reasons I write for ABW is to get in touch with my inner angry black woman. This is because I’m not very angry outwardly — having grown up mostly in the South and being naturally mild-mannered, it takes a lot to flip my switches. I’m more […] Continue reading

‘Mexican Flu’ my ass.
Too busy for analysis right now, but submitting this for your consideration. I think most of us have noticed how right-wing pundits are using racist fearmongering tactics to blame the swine flu on illegals from Mexico — even to the point of referring to it as the “Mexican flu.” The fact that the […] Continue reading

GO SEE SLEEP DEALER
Earlier this week, one of my radical writer friends alerted me to the existence of a little-known but award-winning Mexican sci-fi film called “Sleep Dealer”. So some of us went to see it this week — and I was blown away.
The story’s premise is simple. In the near future, the border between the […] Continue reading

A Chocolate Coating to make the Bitter White Pill Go Down Easier
I’ve been continuing to follow the casting controversy re “The Last Airbender” film by M. Night Shyamalan. The two main organizations of fans that arose to fight it, Aang Ain’t White and it’s sistercomm Racebending, have been working hard to try and get the word out about the casting and why it’s a problem, […] Continue reading
