In the historical research I do I frequently come across articles from the 1880s to the 1950s that routinely identified the race or ethnicity of people, assuring the predominately white readership that these people were not "them." The constant mentions of Obama's race and Clinton's sex have grown tiresome. I'm waiting for an article pointing out the obvious, that McCain is a white male, and discussing what this means to the nation.Homerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18107337628719451890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-15552413569040708312008-02-28T12:45:00.000-06:002008-02-28T12:45:00.000-06:00The Point?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-19512798015507923012008-02-28T10:28:51.129-06:002008-02-28T10:28:51.129-06:00Great post, Sistah.<BR/><BR/>Tolerance is just a catch-all word for racist whites too insecure to mind their history or their true hearts, sexist men too hurt by women intelligence and independence to meet them half-way and black homophobics too fearful of their own sexuality and too closed-minded to step into the 21st century.MacDaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-32179821655885299462008-02-28T09:42:00.000-06:002008-02-28T09:42:00.000-06:00Since I'm lamenting the fact that someone beat me to the "Bitches get shit done" t-shirt, you must, must, must get on the "Post-ig'nant" shirt.

Many of them are in power or have large microphones. No news there. So what is new?<BR/><BR/>Barrack and Hillary are two of three in the running for most powerful person on the planet. That's an undeniable indicator that progress has occurred. <BR/><BR/>As for social justice, that will never be fully achieved here on earth. Only when new societies are created on other planets allowing for new rules and new beginnings will there be a real opportunity for deep change.Seamushttp://www.queervisions.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-34474574039632620322008-02-27T21:34:00.000-06:002008-02-27T21:34:00.000-06:00Tolerance. It's what we display to that which we rightfully and (self-)righteously despise. <BR/><BR/>Acceptance, and embracing our diversity, call for a certain degree of inward gaze that neither Scooter B nor Tweety has quite grasped at their ages.<BR/><BR/>So it's not surprising that the call for a post-racial America precedes the call for an America that addresses racism openly. It's pitiful, but not surprising.<BR/><BR/>I second the call: get yourself to CafePress, and make me a t-shirt. I'm thinking a small ABB logo in breast pocket position, with 'post-ig'nant' on the back.

I love the distinction between tolerance and social justice. People want to learn the rules so they can work around confronting their own icky feelings. Fuck that noise. Do the work, people!
