1. Tiffany over at Blackfeminism.org<\/a> has a review of a special on AIDS in Black America<\/a>, and accompanying links<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Any Christians in the house? This guys has a Christian blog, and he’s talking about racism<\/a>. I think it might be useful for some of my readers to go over and comment. I personally don’t agree with the premise of some of the questions<\/a>, but I’m not knowledgeable enough about Christian theology or scripture to give the type of answer I would like.<\/p>\n

3. Autobiogrpahy of a Face has a good critique of how biracial and multiracial identities<\/a> can be used to further racism.<\/p>\n

4. Dork Nation is talking cultural appropriation<\/a>, comparing Quentin Tarantino and Vanilla Ice. If you want to read Gandoff Mantooth’s whole series on cultural appropriation start here<\/a>, then go here<\/a> second, go here<\/a> third, and finally go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. The Think talks about his experience as a “diversity facilitator<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

6. Prof. Marc Lamont Hill takes on the MTV’s “Yo Momma” show<\/a>. Now here is a good example of the kind of cultural appropriation that is dangerous. I have seen this show, and it is troubling.<\/p>\n

7. C.N. Le has a post about a new program that allows people to see how common their surnames <\/a>are.<\/p>\n

8. Matt_Bishop at Crooked Timber wonders if we are seeing the end of carry on luggage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. Lester Spence asks why we keep putting stories about Black male politicians in the style section<\/a>. This is a really good comentary on how the personal lives and styles of black male politicians become the more prominent features that reporters choose to highlight. I agree. Do I really need to know how big Kwame Kilpatrick’s earring is?? I think this phenomenon also happens to black women, but in a much different way. Black men are complimented on their allegedly “hip” “cool” clothes, while black women’s sense of style is scrutinized. Are people still talking about Cynthia McKinney’s hair?<\/p>\n
