I watched Talk To Me today. It's a bio pic that depicts the rise and fall of radio personality/comedian Petey Greene. But more than that, it is a (platonic) love story between two black (seemingly) heterosexual...for you to see and sit with. When I think of the ways that racism has limited the complexity of black men's characters in film, I am even more awed that this film was made, and distributed widely.
...have you visit. Three independent people told me the same story of an African American woman who came to town to do a show. She was well educated, glamorous, and spent money. By virtue of her race, show business place, and spending, she became a town celebrity during her stay. The key for me is to now try to map the social scoring system, and the minimum participation quotient for acceptance...
...feet at the entrance of malls that they are baned from entering, regardless if they helped build them. We in Qatar, and in the world, will only be able to progress in so much as we can move beyond race, class, even gender, to respond to the universal in those around us. We must do the good we can.

The consequence of the...
Картодром интересный, короткий, на моторе не уехать. В дождевой квалификации наконец-то показал лучшее время в абсолюте. В гонке мотороллер получил повреждения несовместимые с жизнью, поторопился.
I'm going to admit that one of the reasons I felt moving out of the Spring Garden Awesome Apartment was because I was watching WAY too much TV. In my defense, TV was actually really awesome. I got in...undergoing the transitioning period from childhood to adulthood can totally relate. And the giant robots are awesome too. (There's also the Proud Family, but that's another post for another day.

... Ignorant, at best. Here's a good test for when you're not sure if what you say would be considered offensive/racist. Would you say it (devoid of sarcasm or satirical humor) if a person of that race were in the room? But of course, that happens too, expressed in a different manner. Last night's interaction with an employee at the café I went salsa dancing at provides a prime example. Within...
Today was the second day for the collection of the racepack for the very unique Nike+ Human Race, in which a million people around the globe will physically be running at the same time. After some consideration, I'd deliberately chosen not to collect yesterday after the Army Half Marathon for i envisaged the area to be chockful of people with the same ideas.
