Will We Address Asian Privilege?
The figures from the United States Census appear to show that the Asian population has a mean income some 25 % above that of the so-called “white” population. That threatens, on the face of it, the category of Asian folk … Continue reading
Same Old, Same Old
Green Party activists, especially those motivated by anti-war sentiment, have no difficulty demonstrating the alignment between the Republican and Democratic parties, upholders both of the American Empire, through brutal military means.

Let’s Unpack “the Personal Is Political”
This morning brought, on the usual disreputable websites, the appearance of another disapproving look, this time by a military historian, of the past two Presidential administrations. Andrew Bracevich the author of America’s War for the Middle East: A Military History, in … Continue reading
