Why are NYPD murders on the rise? Some 15,000 people filled Fifth Avenue for the silent march against the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy (Adriano Contreras) IT WAS 5 a.m. on October 4, and 22-year old Noel Polanco was driving himself, a co-worker and a friend home from his job at a nightclub in Queens when he was pulled over on a highway median by an unmarked vehicle.
It turned out that Noel had cut off a police car belonging to the Emergency Services Unit, a division of the New York Police Department tasked with responding in "high-crime areas. " Officers approached the car with rifles out, shouting at the driver to put his hands up. Within seconds, Officer Hassan Hamdy had fired one round through the open passenger window at the driver, killing Polanco, a U.S. Army Reservist. "There was no time to put your hands up at all," front-seat passenger Diane DeFerrari told the New York Post. The White Savior Industrial Complex - Teju Cole. America Is Dying Slowly: Talking About Hip-Hop After Trayvon Martin. America Is Dying Slowly.
That title graced a 1996 hip-hop compilation devoted to AIDS awareness (check the acronym) and the precarious survival of young black men in this country more generally. I bought that album when it came out, partly for conscience, partly for youthful self-righteousness, but mostly for love of the music it contained. In the 15 years since I’ve listened to hip-hop obsessively and loved it fiercely, protectively, and sometimes irrationally, all the ways that people are supposed to love things. I turned 17 in 1996, the same age Trayvon Martin was when he was killed a little more than a month ago.

Iraqi-American is imprisoned by US for saving his family from US sanctions. I'm currently traveling around the US on a speaking tour, and as I've written before, one of the prime benefits of doing that is being able to meet people and their families whose lives have been severely harmed by the post-9/11 assault on basic liberties.
Doing that prevents one from regarding these injustices as abstractions, and ensures that the very real human costs from these government abuses remain vivid.

The Everyday Language of White Racism (Blackwell Studies in Discourse and Culture): Jane H. Hill: 9781405184533: Amazon.com. Whites Believe They Are Victims of Racism More Often Than Blacks. MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- Whites believe that they have replaced blacks as the primary victims of racial discrimination in contemporary America, according to a new study from researchers at Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School.
The findings, say the authors, show that America has not achieved the "post-racial" society that some predicted in the wake of Barack Obama's election. Both whites and blacks agree that anti-black racism has decreased over the last 60 years, according to the study. However, whites believe that anti-white racism has increased and is now a bigger problem than anti-black racism. Sommers and co-author Michael I. Norton of Harvard asked a nation-wide sample of 208 blacks and 209 whites to indicate the extent to which they felt blacks and whites were the targets of discrimination in each decade from the 1950s to the 2000s. White and black estimates of bias in the 1950s were similar. Abraham Lincoln’s Racism in Context: Reflections on His Era and Ours. Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday was last Thursday.
He and Darwin were born on the same day, an interesting coincidence. Lincoln was just voted recently by historians as the number one U.S. president of all time. Presumably this is because he presided over the country during the difficult Civil War, and much action he took during that era deservedly gets this high level of praise.
