In fighting that cultural abyss of hegemonic female disempowerment that only callousness would think could be ameliorated in two generations (I mean, think about that--my grandfather was born before all women could vote), I knew that I would try not to follow social norms without question and rock them back a little bit if I could.

WikiIndex was in what looks to be a high profile weblog today!

j's scratchpad: SLA: Mary Ellen Bates’ Searching the New Web

I *loved* the reference to the new Web, instead of the dreaded Web 2.0 (I am still waiting for Web 1.0)

Added a .com instead of my preffered .org, but that is ok! :-) It redirects now, so all is good.

25 Ways to Tokenize or Alienate a Non-White Person Around You

re-blogged via Knowmore.org:

(Or, 25 Examples of the Racism We Witness on a Regular Basis)

Fight Racism - I had a conversation with a friend the other day about racism (big surprise there!), and we began to get into inadvertent or ingrained racism. That is, the acts of racism that people commit without realizing that they are doing so. It was my contention that most everyone is guilty at different times of some sort of prejudice whether it be on purpose or not. He insisted that this wasn’t so, that he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body...

Unless it was intentional, which it may have been, the title should be the number one way to alienate people of color, defining people as non-white. I expected to see the post say something about it, because it was used all over the place and looks intentional. But no.

Regardless, kudos to Eric Stone for bring up / re-blogging these conversations.
