International Blog Against Racisim Week 2009

As may or may not be explicitly clear to anyone who reads this blog, I took a voluntary leave of absence from writing about power disparity issues (primarily racism) on this blog in the Spring of 2009, and that will remain until at least the Fall of 2009, if not later.

To support my pledge to [...]

Another flowchart

Idea totally ripped off from Gary Dauphin’s Should I use blackface in my blog? flowchart. I find Visio a lot easier to work with, though it doesn’t allow any sort of easy image mapping in HTML that I can tell. More tinkering is clearly needed.

IBARW 3 – US – Directive 15, the One Drop Rule and you

I had cause recently to go (re-)read Directive 15 (because I had been speaking authoritatively about it and hadn’t reviewed it in quite some time – a couple of decades, probably). The last time (before this time) I thought I had reviewed it (or potentially related regulations with the IRS or some other governmental organization [...]
