I know very well that my ancestors had [...]
Sometimes it seems as if there are people who sit around, almost hoping for awful things to happen, just so they can use these incidents, however tragic, to make some kind of political point. So consider the evangelical preachers who responded to Hurricane Katrina by claiming that the tragic inundation of New Orleans occurred because [...]
To paraphrase a line from the movie “Forrest Gump”–which film I never liked much, actually–”E-mail is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” And here, I’m referring not so much to the bevy of ads for porn or weight loss remedies that seem to sneak through whatever spam filter I [...]
Published on Counterpunch, www.counterpunch.org, 6/15/05 During my days as a college activist, organizing against U.S. and corporate support for apartheid, I can recall the way in which many students, despite agreeing with the goal of our coalition (namely, divestment from firms that were complicit with the racist government in South Africa), refused to sign any [...]
May 11, 2005 HOST: Greetings everyone and welcome once again to another episode of Live with the Infidel Guy.

Published as a ZNet Commentary, www.zmag.org, 1/21/04 For those who speak out against racism, learning to deal with people who disagree with you is a time-consuming process, and a talent that must be cultivated.

Published on Tolerance.org, 8/19/03 Several years ago, when I began to write essays on racism for a number of internet-based publications, I made the decision to include my e-mail address at the bottom of every article.
