It keeps getting worse
I am very aware that minority communities are talking about a shoot-to-kill policy . . . It's only a shoot-to-kill-in-order-to-protect policy.

It does, Mendi...and all across the Net, and on Faux News, people are defending this INSANE policy, while TONY Blair refuses to admit that his participation in the Iraq War, and his government's stalwart support of US foreign policy across the globe, is playing any part in the rage that has fueled attacks like the ones in London or the one on 9/11....
with each of these cases, the history of dark skinned enemies opens up in front of me...ralph ellison is nodding his head and the dark everywhere are again fulfilling their constructed destinies as the loci for the projection of white fear...
hey hey, girl. thanks for the b-day wishes...here's some love back at you...
Thanks for your responses, John K & Ruth-E. War is horrible, but de Menezes' death was especially horrific to me. And now they have the nerve to talk about his immigration status . . .
