Who Owns Black Lives Matter? Black Lives Matter is not the black-created, black-run, grass-roots organization dedicated to helping black people and fighting racism that it pretends to be. In reality it is the malevolent creation of a few very wealthy individuals, non-profits corporations, and the mainstream media. Even though it touts itself as being the champion of black people and black causes, it is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is not the friend but the enemy and manipulator of black people. It pushes and advocates the very things that help destroy the African American community, such as defunding the police, legalizing drugs, and releasing prisoners back into the community. Who Owns Black Lives Matter uses humorous satirical cartoons and serious commentary to tell the true story of Black Lives matter. The Architects of Rap Rap / hip-hop is the new and improved vehicle for the same old degrading Black stereotypes from the past. It not only portrays African Americans as being violence prone, criminal, promiscuous, and stupid, but even worse, it blatantly promotes, glamorizes, and glorifies this type of behavior. The Architects of Rap uses humorous satirical cartoons and serious commentary to tell the story of an "entertainment" industry out of control, bombarding us with immorality and decadence from every direction, and as a result greatly contributing to the decline of our values, families, and society.

There is enough for everyone. That's the vision woven into the warp and weft of the Bible, through the principles of Sabbath Economics. This is God's vision of human living, where the world is an abundant gift.

The book ties such cultural assumptions to personal and institutional behavior, drawing connections between individuals, culture (as meaning systems) and larger social structures.

"This collection is classic Nader-exhorting us to make our world and nation a better place, even when faced with unchecked political and corporate power, and perverse market and regulatory incentives. He starts with the declaration that the national Democratic Party bureaucrats are either inept or bewildered. With its record-setting campaign fundraising, he bemoans how the Party can't seem to figure out how to go on the offensive against the overtly lying, cruel, corrupt, law-breaking, Wall Street over Main Street, Trumpian Republican Party. In another essay he praises Canada, explaining that the majority of citizens love their health care system-Medicare-for-all, free choice of doctor and hospital, everybody in, nobody out and far less expensive with better outcomes overall. Highlighting heroes like Pete Seeger, Wendell Berry, the journalist Helen Thomas, Nader also celebrates citizens like the lesser-known charismatic George S. Hawkins, general manager of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority who brought immense energy, vision, and ambitious, overdue plans to the forefront for American's public drinking water. Meanwhile, he doesn't shy away from enemies-for example Nader slams the evils of Big Pharma's strength and hold over Congress and infinite greed. Nader also brings American history to the present day with creative twists. "We need to remember Ben Franklin, our frugal forebear, who coined the phrase 'a penny saved is a penny earned, '" he writes. "Today he would say 'a trillion BTUs saved is a trillion BTUs earned.'" Ranging from hernia repair to auto safety reports and warnings about lethal super-bugs and global pandemics from 2013, Nader's essays and newspaper columns will inform and activate his legions of fans"--

"We're accustomed to seeing humour as a diversion from the serious side of life, but humour also permeates some of the most troubling political developments in recent years. From the resurgence of white nationalism to the erosion of democratic norms, jokes force-feed us objectionable ideologies while we gasp and splutter at all the side-splitting shenanigans. This book explores the relationship between humour and offensiveness in contemporary society. Drawing on examples from philosophical thinkers and popular culture, it invites readers to consider the dark side of humour. Weaving together cultural analysis, political discussion and philosophical reflection, the book provides an antidote to positive thinking about laughter and a roadmap for navigating different types of offensive humour"--

The New Suburbia explores how the suburbs transformed from bastions of the white middle class in the postwar years into diverse communities after 1970. In the new suburbia, white advantage persisted, but it existed alongside rising inequality, ethnic and racial diversity, and new household configurations. It focuses on Los Angeles, at the vanguard of these trends.

Callahan, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes posthumously discovered reviews, criticism, and interviews, as well as the essay collections "Shadow and Act (1964), hailed by Robert Penn Warren as "a body of cogent and subtle commentary on the questions that focus on race," and "Going to the Territory (1986), an exploration of literature and folklore, jazz and culture, and the nature and quality of lives that black Americans lead.

The book was awarded the 2011 NCA Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression.This book sets out to explore how hate comes alive in language and actions by examining the nature and persuasive functions of hate in American society. Hate speech may be used for many purposes and have different intended consequences. It may be directed to intimidate an out-group, or to influence the behavior of in-group members. But how does this language function? What does it accomplish? The answers to these questions are addressed by an examination of the communicative messages produced by those with hateful minds. Beginning with an examination of the organized hate movement, the book provides a critique of racist discourse used to recruit and socialize new members, construct enemies, promote valued identities, and encourage ethnoviolence. The book also examines the strategic manipulation of hatred in our everyday lives by politicians, political operatives, and media personalities. Providing a comprehensive overview of hate speech, the book ends by describing the desirable features of an anti-hate discourse that promotes respect for social differences.

Her verses, rich in her ability to look inside the human heart, bring us in touch with the human story of the politically imprisoned, the persecuted and the unseen.

"Tessa is a successful white woman writer who develops a friendship, first by correspondence and then in person, with Charlie, a ruggedly handsome philosopher and scholar based in Los Angeles. Sparks fly as they exchange ideas about Camus and masculine desire, and their intellectual connection promises more-but there are obstacles to this burgeoning relationship. While Tessa's husband Milton enjoys Charlie's company on his visits to the East Coast, Charlie's mixed-race Asian wife Wah is a different case, and she proves to be both adversary and conundrum to Tessa. Wah's traditional femininity and subservience to her husband strike Tessa as weaknesses, and she scoffs at the sacrifices Wah makes as adoptive mother to a Burmese girl, Htet, once homeless on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. But Wah has a kind of power too, especially over Charlie, and the conflict between the two women leads to Tessa's martini-fueled declaration that Wah is "an insult to womankind." As Tessa is forced to deal with the consequences of her outburst and considers how much she is limited by her own perceptions, she wonders if Wah is really as weak as she has seemed, or if she might have a different kind of strength altogether. An exercise in empathy, an exploration of betrayal, and a charged story of the thrill of a shared connection-and the perils of feminine rivalry-My Nemesis is a brilliantly dramatic and captivating story from a hugely talented writer whose portrayals are always gracefully phrased and keenly observed"--

"An exciting new voice makes the case for a colorblind approach to politics and culture, warning that the so-called 'anti-racist' movement is driving us-ironically-toward a new kind of racism. As one of the few black students in his philosophy program at Columbia University years ago, Coleman Hughes wondered why his peers seemed more pessimistic about the state of American race relations than his own grandparents-who lived through segregation. The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer. Contemplative yet audacious, The End of Race Politics is necessary reading for anyone who questions the race orthodoxies of our time. Hughes argues for a return to the ideals that inspired the American Civil Rights movement, showing how our departure from the colorblind ideal has ushered in a new era of fear, paranoia, and resentment marked by draconian interpersonal etiquette, failed corporate diversity and inclusion efforts, and poisonous race-based policies that hurt the very people they intend to help. Hughes exposes the harmful side effects of Kendi-DiAngelo style antiracism, from programs that distribute emergency aid on the basis of race to revisionist versions of American history that hide the truth from the public. Through careful argument, Hughes dismantles harmful beliefs about race, proving that reverse racism will not atone for past wrongs and showing why race-based policies will lead only to the illusion of racial equity. By fixating on race, we lose sight of what it really means to be anti-racist. A racially just, colorblind society is possible. Hughes gives us the intellectual tools to make it happen"--

La visée première de cet ouvrage est de faire le point des recherches qui, dans l¿aire francophone, se sont intéressées à la manière dont les inégalités selon le genre se construisent dans la classe. Les chapitres qui le constituent relèvent de travaux menés dans plusieurs disciplines scolaires (Education physique et sportive, Écriture, Histoire, Littérature, Mathématiques) à différents niveaux du cursus (maternelle, élémentaire, secondaire, universitaire) et dans plusieurs pays (Canada, France, Suisse et Tunisie). Chacun d¿eux s¿attache à rendre compte de la question des inégalités de sexe dans l¿enseignement et l¿étude des savoirs, et, pour certains, de ses implications dans la formation à l¿enseignement. Ces aspects sont appréhendés sur la base de recherches dont la diversité se déploie à la fois en termes d'objets d'étude retenus, de terrains d'investigation, de cadres théoriques mobilisés, de démarches méthodologiques mises en ¿uvre et enfin, selon les ancrages disciplinaires spécifiques à chaque approche. Par-delà cette diversité qui donne à voir la vitalité des problématiques de recherche dans ce domaine, les autrices se sont attachées à préciser, en s'appuyant sur la littérature des Études de genre, quelle est la compréhension, ou l¿interprétation qüelles donnent dans leur texte aux termes de sexe et de genre, ce qui permet d¿entrevoir toutes les nuances pouvant émerger de l¿utilisation du concept de genre lorsqüil est convoqué dans les recherches didactiques.Les chapitres ont été regroupés en deux grandes parties. La première présente des résultats de recherche concernant les processus d¿enseignement-apprentissage chez les filles et les garçons à différents niveaux de l¿École. Les contributions de la seconde partie pointent les difficultés mises au jour concernant l¿introduction des problématiques didactiques relatives au genre dans la formation des futur·es enseignant·es.
