The anti-war movement in the United States has totally ignored the war in Mexico. The mainstream media also has ignored this war. Most Americans don’t know there is a major war happening right now in Mexico. Cuidad Juarez, the city with the most deaths from the war, is only 1,250 miles from Chicago. War broke out in Mexico in December 2006 when the newly...

Tim Wise - The Pathology of White Privilege
Wise provides a non-confrontational explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color but to white people as well.

I take deals where I can get them, and guess what – Urban Outfitters has killer sales. Not to mention some really, really great clothes. Hello! Silence & Noise? Kimchi Blue? Miss Sixty? I’d live in this stuff, if I could. But I don’t. Why?
Because I don’t want...

Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds, 1962
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky, Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same. There’s a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one, And they’re all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses All went to the university, Where they were put in...
