Instant CongressWords to live byWhat does this white supremacy mean in day-to-day life? One recent study found that in the United States, a black applicant with no criminal record is less likely to receive a callback from a potential employer than a white applicant with a felony conviction. In other words, being black is more of a liability in finding a job than being a convicted criminal. Into this new century, such discrimination has remained constant. That's white supremacy. Many people, of all races, feel and express prejudice, but white supremacy is built into the attitudes, practices and institutions of the dominant white society. It's not the product simply of individual failure but is woven into society, and the material consequences of it are dramatic. Subscribe Buttons                    | ||
more election day drama: Britney files for divorce!
this time i voted 100% Democratic. i have never voted Republican and despite my strong discontent with the Dems and past votes for other parties, this time i chose all Dems for a variety of personal reasons. but i love the idea of more strong and viable parties and seriously doubt that i will ever vote a straight ticket again. once i am more familiar with the other parties's stances on current issues, i am likely to vote for their candidates if i agree with their platforms, especially if they offer different candidates that have not already been labeled as a Dem. i am registered as an Independent and i tend to look more at candidates and what they do and who they work with as opposed to voting for them based on how they label themselves. i always go for some form of progressive/liberal, though.
funny... when i looked at Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot, i could not imagine myself voting for her as President under any party, though i did vote for her for Senator. many of my choices today were made bc it was better than the alternative and i think that would be the only way i would vote for her as President: a seriously close race in which we were going to wind up with another mental peasant like Bush and his undignified cronies.
