The Study of Racialism

The recent exchanges between our latest Latino participant and some of the other posters evoke some of the exciting exchanges between some Latino posters and Anglo posters over the years—not only at I ...

I know of no verbal construct which more captures the North American "black/white" "race" notion than the one which juxtaposes "racial" discrimination with gender discrimination.

Gender discriminat ...

Some thoughts......................

Try this for ironies: trailer park "whites" who actually feel that they are part of a master group. College-educated, upper-middle "blacks" who actually feel tha ...

These are exciting materials. The contents of these materials are there for all to see--however, the things which get my attention are those things related to capital, sponsorship, seed money, distrib ...

Now THAT'S what emphasizing commonalities are all about.

Well done, A.D., with respect to showing this article. We have a lot of work to do. Ironically, we are now combatting more than just hostile "whites".

It is not the existence of hard science topics nor of their need for discussion with which I am taking issue.

What I meant to point out was the relative interest such topics hold for most people, ...

To Xcolumn (a Chicano activist): I know of no nation whose residents (especially Anglo "blacks" and "whites") are as absolutely clueless as to the dynamics of social class. I had originally felt that ...

Of course the real issue is not so much the idea of "soulful-whites-mistaken-for-black", it is the idea of the importance of being required to choose a "side" ("white" or "black") in the U.S.

To Stephanie....... If Fantasia Barrino has a Cuban ancestor, I guess her
being Latina depends on cultural factors.

That was a wonderful article, about the young Panamanian. That being said, it's time to rain on her parade a little.

As I read the article, I was feeling so curious as to wanting to get to know the ...

All of you on this list are aware that the mulatto phenotype is nearly wholly judged, in the U.S., to be under the "black" umbrella. This is exponentially applied to females. Some mulatto phenotypes a ...

Javier To mixedmom..... I have always enjoyed your posts as well. They are thoughtful, reasoned, non-combative and civil.

Well, you are absolutely right about my "hair" post in that there are hosts ...

Hair is important in that kinky hair locates "blackness" in a sort of shorthand sense (meaning quick eyeballing). The reason for this is the existence of nearly 1,000,000,000 South Asians (Indians of ...

I wish I had a "Tyrone" pill which I could dissolve in the U.S. general water supply. In Ty's posts to-day, written at 18:28 and 18:39 (especially the one written at 18:28), he has hit the proverbial ...

Comparing Racism in Latin America and the United States

Verbal treatments, analyses and descriptions dealing with the fact that Latin America has colorism, racism and prejudice (which, of course, e ...

OVERLAPS

At Interracial Voice, some individuals would express their hesitation with the idea of persons with West African ancestry embracing their totality of ancestry. Sometimes the rationale for ...

Both Gman and Wortman are, I am sure aware of what I am about to write, but I do so for the sake of others who may not be on to this.

When people in the United States say, "Latino" or "Hispanic", t ...

I may not have expressed the following in strong enough terms, but when I offered a plea for some insight as to the insistence of U.S. mass media commercials featuring boy/girl couples and/or spouses ...

I believe that U.S. mulattos should be presented with an option to be whatever they wish--just as I (a Dominican mulatto) should be presented the opportunity to be whatever I wish. An example would be ...
