Aboriginal Musicians 'Band' Together To Expose Oppression

Aboriginal Musicians 'Band' Together To Expose Oppression:

npr:

“The aboriginal rights movement in Australia parallels the American Indian movement in this country, with similar goals: land rights, self determination, cultural acceptance. There is also day-to-day discrimination. Morris says last year she performed at the Sydney Opera House, a crowning achievement for an Australian artist. She invited nine indigenous women from her community to attend. When it was over, they went outside, stood on the sidewalk and tried to hail a cab.

‘Twenty taxis wouldn’t pick us up,’ Morris says. ‘They see that you’re aboriginal and you’re not getting in.’”

I guess I’m confused. Sounds like she is employed. The commenting on this post has shifted from the mundane to a legal version of a WWE cage match. Too funny!! By the way, I went to a tier four law school, at least I think it’s a tier four. But if you have to guess…well you know the rest. Anywho,…

July 2, 1908

First African-American U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall Born

On this day in 1908, American civil rights lawyer Thurgood Marshall was born. Marshall became a pillar of the Civil Rights Movement as one of his major victories demolished the legal basis for racial segregation in public schools.

The life of Justice Thurgood Marshall is commemorated in a one-man play titled “Thurgood,” written by George Stevens, Jr. and was featured on Broadway in 2008 starring Laurence Fishburne.

Watch Tavis Smiley’s interview with Fishburne about his role in the Broadway play.

Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men’s minds- Thurgood Marshall

New Orleans residents are using Neighborland.com to post ideas for improving their neighborhoods. Initially a local public street art project, Neighborland tries to democratize city development by creating instant civic feedback. But the digital divide has left the city’s computer illiterate out of the conversation.

“I absolutely challenge the White-Black dichotomy that mostly defines the racial politics in this country. At first glance, people see my pale skin, kinky-curly blonde afro, and green eyes and they either think I’m biracial or are otherwise utterly intrigued. In my adult years, I am rarely asked overtly about my racial background, but I can sense the uncertainty that surrounds with my identity. I can feel them subtly asking through their stares. On occasion, I have met people who have encountered others with albinism or can recognize that I am black but most people don’t know what to make of me. How do I expect people to know about albinism when it is practically invisible in this society? It is rarely discussed, unless it is in reference to animals or in a biological context. In addition, whenever a character with albinism appears in the media, he or she is usually depicted negatively such as an evil character or having supernatural powers.”

It’s the funniest thing to me when I try to make a decision. Its already hard because I’m a true Libra and its the hardest thing for me to make a simple choice sometimes. I have to explore every possible option before I make a final decision. Recently it has been proven to me that God only…

As Libra’s I think that’s the way we are designed. Decisions big or small are thought out with precision. That is what makes us great.
