Bejata

Yeah! Bejata is back!

I first wrote about Bejata back in 2006 but Bernard is back from a blog hiatus, so it's time for an update.

Bernard has one of the most corageous, provocative yet heart-warming series written on any blog, Black Gay Men at Midlife.

If it is not easy being a gay black man in America, it can be twice as hard for those reaching middle age. Bernie with this series seeks to expose those stories but what he also does is to expose the misconceptions, hypocrisies and ageism that exist within the black gay community and use that opportunity to start a dialogue about "what's next".

Check out the whole series. Another favorite? His sports archives. You're going to have a hell of a blog ride.

Michael Rogers has become turned his blog into the bane of every closeted gay Republican's existence.

People who think Michael outs closeted gay Republicans for sport, should think again. He does it because he truly believes that anybody who votes for anti-gay legislation and takes money from the extreme right all the while having sex with men is a menace, nay, a pox on not just the gay community but all of society as well.

I love him for every single "I'm not gay" utterance coming from the extreme right. They deserve to have a Michael Rogers on their asses.

Published by Kortney Ryan Ziegler, M.A. : My reasons for blogging are many, but most important, I blog to improve my writing, to connect with other bloggers of color, and to provide a space where my research has an audience outside of academia.

Fetch me my axe

belledame222 is one of those wandering souls of the blogosphere that leaves a goddamn amazing impression everywhere she decides set camp : "Ruminating, speculating, pontificating, luxuriating, eviscerating. And cheese. And some other things. I can't name all of them here, I'm just mysterious that way. Did I say "mysterious?" I meant "lazy." Oh, well".

Words to live by

Sometimes I want to scream.
Iâ€™d like to say, â€œFrom now on, hats can be left on in the building, and food is welcome in all classrooms. Now, can we just move on, for Peteâ€™s sake?â€
But I donâ€™t. . .

Weâ€™re arguing about power. About consistency. About priorities. Weâ€™re trying to discuss the Big Issues, but weâ€™re afraid to name them.
So we bicker about minutiae.

We fall into the safe arguments that no one will ever win but that will surely fill the time allotted, ensuring that we can return to our classrooms, departments, and homes. . .

If weâ€™re actually going to talk about why kids need to eat in class, then we may have to break the silence surrounding the issues of poverty and inequity.

We donâ€™t really want to
do that. We prefer to stay safely ensconced in our ignorance, putting mountains of energy into talking about nothing at all. . .

(So) kids stay hungry, continue to lack basic
supplies, and, most important, fail to get a sense of what it is to recognize and be able to use their power as citizens. They donâ€™t learn how it feels to exercise power wisely because we refuse to show them.

They learn to pour their energies into petty battles rather than real civic engagement.

In this era of increasing political partisanship, isnâ€™t it time for us to teach our students that looking deeply into the well of our own shortcomings is the way to solve them? How long will we maintain the charade of infallibility, our blameless collective personae?

The greatest gift we can give our students, and ourselves, is the acknowledgment that things arenâ€™t OK â€” and wonâ€™t be OK, even if we build a school in which no one wears a hat indoors, everyone has a pencil, and neither Snickers bars nor apple cores can be found outside the cafeteria.
