		<description><![CDATA[hmmm. racism has more to do with the privileges enjoyed by one group (race) due to that group&#039;s dominance (e.g. oppression) of another group. racism&#039;s most damaging effects are not born of individual acts (e.g. your daughter&#039;s color-blindness) but of deeply stilled institutional practices that benefit individuals of the dominant group. your daughter, like many &quot;whites&quot; enjoy the privilege of not having to acknowledge race. as a black man it would be unwise of me to send my daughter out into a society whose western-based structures were and are designed to minoritorize and invisibilize people who &quot;look&quot; like her. ahhh, the privilege of avoiding the reality that avoidance does not promote liberty it hides it. my daughter, perhaps some day, will meet your daughter as i have met many whites in my lifetime who would prefer that i not talk about a reality that confronts me at every turn every day. perhaps she will introduce your daughter to the awesome power of perceiving race through the lens of critical thought ~ and how this lens can ultimately lead to a more equitable society. Hopefully she will meet her before meeting those &quot;whites&quot; (e.g. Afrikaners) who have their needle heads buried so deep within the privileges gained from hundreds of years of pillaging and usurping the resources of the &quot;other&quot; that they are unable to see how deeply (e.g. unconsciously) their actions are rooted in ideologies of &quot;race&quot; superiority. Even now, I will hide]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WHERE ALSO ARE OUR AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LEADERS ??


SENATOR OBAMA,THIS JUDICIAL INJUSTICE HAS BECOME AN AMERICAN ART FORM,AND NO LONGER CAN BE KEPT HIDDEN OR SECRET FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!!

WHEN AMERICANS WERE TOLD THE TRUTH BY THIS HONEST BLACK LEADER,WHO WENT ON TO BECOME A US PRESIDENT ???

LETS ALL HOPE OUR MEDIA FRIENDS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA?S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL INJUSTICE CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK &amp; LATINO AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

*** WHEN GOD?S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????

**** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.

****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.
Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.

This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!

***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

A MUST READ ABOUT AMERICAN INJUSTICE:
1) YAHOO AND 2) GOOGLE

		<description><![CDATA[Last year we took our oldest son to visit his new school.  He was starting kindergarten in the fall, and they had a tour planned.  They took all the kids to go visit the classrooms for 30 minutes while the parents got the grown-up information.  When we went to pick up our son, he was sitting in class next to a friendly little boy who was black.  On the way home I asked him if he liked the school, and he said yes.  I asked him if he liked his teacher, and he said yes.  And I asked him if he made any friends, and he said no.  I was puzzled and asked him, &quot;What about so-and-so&quot;, and he responded by saying that he didn&#039;t want to be friends with a &#039;brown boy&#039;.

The fact that he said &#039;brown boy&#039; instead of &#039;black boy&#039; was a clue to me that he was only using his own description, and not anything anyone had taught him.  We took it as a teaching moment and told him that  the color of someone&#039;s skin doesn&#039;t matter, and that the boy seemed very friendly and nice.  (Since the boy was already in kindergarten they wouldn&#039;t be in class together anyway, but that&#039;s beside the point)

Anyway, that weekend we went camping at a state park.  We bought some firewood at the front desk, and soon found out that it was pretty wet and would be very hard to light.  We didn&#039;t bring any lighter fluid or anything, so we just did our best and were having a hard time.  In the next spot, there was a big father-son type group of black people that had a big, roaring fire going.  They saw we were having trouble and voluntarily came over and helped us get the fire going.  Their kids came over and started playing baseball and riding bikes with our kids.  And it was a great opportunity to reinforce the lesson we had taught earlier that week.  I actually recounted the &#039;brown boy&#039; story and our attempts to respond to it to one of the men to explain how his decision to offer assistance was a blessing to us in many ways.  The kids spend that evening and the next day playing together, and I&#039;m hoping that our efforts to teach and those experiences will provide a strong foundation for our kids to grow up without seeing people as a color.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if the most vicious of human species had a zebra [black and pale pink] skin? Would there be a system for measuring the total area covered by each color? What would be regarded as the dominant color, black, or still the pale pink? 
Here&#039;s another sad story about the professional people  who spend huge amounts of time and money immigrating to poxy New Zealand only to find out that the &#039;black,&#039; &#039;brown,&#039; &#039;yellow,&#039; and probably &#039;deep purple&#039; [as well as dark-skinned Jews and Muslims] are  regarded as sub-humans:

		<description><![CDATA[The First time I agreed with everything in the article.  I never liked black America because it meant defining someone by their skin.  Or statistics on black or hispanic or ethinic people.   This ethnic comunity votes this way or this people votes that way. My quandary  The stats are true(well statistically not made up most of the time), and I have vowed never to be an opponent to the truth.  The sample has a certain skin color and it does seem to mater what the skin color is.  My solution was to look at  factors, other factors which could explain the stats.  economic factors is what I put it down to. Does America have a different solution?  In other words I correlated it to something else. Is this working to hard to be politically correct?  Content of their wallets and not the Colour of their skins?  I am not mocking anyone but I do detect a bit of hypocrisy in my own correlations. But I never heard a better answer to the stats and in such a politctly third rail topic I doubt the humanities people who like to eat and have freinds too will take it on.  I don&#039;t nessarayly believe as a captialist and a conservitive that a person&#039;s wallet should be a barriar that should keep people down.  In other words I like systems where the poor have a chance to rise.  Yet those stats on how horriable life is for  ethinic so and so. hmmm.   I think my comment has migrated of topic. oh well]]></description>
