A lack of time and nothing more to add lead me to give you this one whole cloth, by dnA over at his excellent blog, Too Sense.
Anger over anti-Semitism on the American Right, when coming from the Goyim, has only to do with the fact that the vast majority of American Jews are white. It’s […]

Great clip from yesterday’s State of the Black Union footage in NOLA (via Baratunde):
If you know some of my other work, you’ll know why I love Gregory’s quote from way back:
“If these Mississippi white Klansmen, who do not know how to plan crimes, who are ignorant, illiterate bastards, can completely baffle our FBI, what are […]
I mean Barack Obama …

This is from Beth Kanter:

Before I knew it, non-profit tech consultant Beth Kanter was interviewing me via IM about the presentation and the launch of the internal blog. I gave Beth my slides from my presentation and she […]

My new tumblelog has arrived at http://minorjive.net (feed).
A while ago I decided to set up another Wordpress blog as a tumblelog, to keep clippings of web content that I come across on the web. I didn’t like the limited functionality of the popular hosted Tumblr service, so I thought it would be better to have […]

Since my recent post on domestic surveillance and J. Edgar Hoover’s secret plan for mass detentions of suspected “subversives,” I’ve come across a number of blog posts that make interesting supplements to the sources I originally assembled. I’m posting excerpts from two historically focused pieces here and will follow up soon with another post that […]

My thoughts have been returning lately to Jeanne D’Arc. She retired from blogging in 2006, but her blog Body and Soul was the blog that first inspired me to start Hungry Blues. Sadly, she closed down the archives on the typepad blog she had kept from around August 03 - August 06. Her older blogger […]

I’m one of the lucky early members of the seesmic video blogging community. Seesmic is cool because a) you can record directly to the site and b) it is set up like twitter to be real social and encourage conversations via video. For a fuller explanation, see the link to Steve Garfield in my previous […]
Elle, PhD is has ventured to answer Langston’s still prescient question, “What happens to a dream deferred?”
If you know about small communities in the South, you know that Jena is not an aberration of racial progress but rather a manifestation of festering tensions that have never gone away. What’s amazing about Elle’s blog post is […]

I have not had a chance to blog about the important AP interview with Megan Williams. Go read it, but also check out the video excerpts from it, below. Megan Williams is articulate and composed. She does not seem at all like she is mentally challenged or “slow,” as has been reported.
No time for further […]
Final Call: There were some news reports that you had a relationship with one of the defendants, Bobby Brewster. Is this accurate?
Megan Williams: We were just friends. It was nothing like that.
FC: No dating relationship between you and defendant Bobby Brewster?
MW: No. They kicked me in the head with steel toed boots, they hit me […]
