“…I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace...

If at any time you feel the need to work the phrase “This is not me condoning slavery” into your argument or any sort of discourse, you should immediately stop and instead try to figure out precisely where you went wrong and revise the way you think about the world. Such a consideration would do the rest of us an immense favor.
The fact that you would find it...

All Manners Of Wizardry

“Do you have real magic books here?” the boy asked the old man.
“Oh, yes,” the man said.
“Like with magic words that let you do things?”
“Certainly, among the other sorts,” the man said.
“Like, I could fly or make a million pounds of gold appear?” the boy asked.
“Is that what you’re interested in?”
“Yeah, sure,” the boy said.
“Well, then,” the old man said, ducking...

Guest post: Superheroes at your library
dcwomenkickingass:
There is a lot of focus on the LCS when there is a discussion about new comic readers and getting more women reading comics. But the LCS is only part of it — there is another influence that doesn’t get as much attention. Today I have a guest post from someone who in her role as a librarian has been introducing young adults, both boys and girls, to the joy of comics. Pamela...

Lincoln did not like black people.
Right?
You do realize that at no time did he even really want to consider the Abolition issue and made the proclamation, one of his more dispassionate speeches, to PUNISH the South.
It had nothing to do with seeing blacks as equals.
And in fact, he’s on the record saying that, if blacks were free he wanted them out of the country...

I’m not saying that racism isn’t a very relevant problem, because it is. That isn’t the aim of this. But how come feminism- which put race issues ahead of women’s own issues in its movement- and Slut Walks and Occupy Wall Street, etc. are all accused of having racist undertones?! I don’t think the founders of the Slut Walk were thinking “let’s protest to reclaim our bodies...

Pandemic
fantasyinminiature:
When they pulled the third victim from the river in as many days, they found a dog with him. Public health officials were wary of sparking a panic, but they were quietly worried. Not only did it seem that this new strain of drowning was contagious, but it had also demonstrated the potential to jump from species to species.
