Ian Haney López & Heather McGhee
Demos VP Heather McGhee talks to Ian Haney López about his book
Dog Whistle Politics
and this hidden racism in today's political landscape.
In recent decades, America has witnessed an ongoing discussion about the decline of the middle class. But on a subtler level, Ian Haney López argues that throughout the decades, American politics have been the host to veiled messages about race, which has played a crucial role in the strain on middle class. Ian calls this "dog whistle politics," because the message sent about racial minorities are inaudible on one level, while simultaneously clear on another. Ian argues that it's these messages that turn the middle class against themselves, allowing a wealthy elite to divide Americans along racial lines, and steer the country towards the interests of the super-rich.
Ian is a leading historian of race in post-civil rights America, and a professor of law at UC Berkeley. With this Strand exclusive evening, Ian presents his book
Dog Whistle Politics
. Joining Ian for the evening will be Heather McGhee, Vice President of Policy & Outreach at the public policy organization Demos, and a frequent commentator on MSNBC.
Barry Miles and John Tytell discuss William S. Burroughs
Acclaimed biographer Barry Miles discusses his new work,
Call Me Burroughs
, with John Tytell.
Decades ago, Norman Mailer made the assertion that "William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius," and few writers have come close to the sheer production and effect that Burroughs had on an entire literary generation.
In his newest biographical work, celebrated writer Barry Miles provides a closer-than-ever glimpse of Burroughs' legacy, from his well-known writings, to his experimental recordings and visual arts projects, as well as snapshots of his personal life. Barry is also the author of the wildly popular volume,
, which lends shape and cohesion to a period of great change in American history.
Joining Barry for the evening will be Pulitzer prize winning biographer John Tytell, author of the

Book Trailer:
One More Thing
by B.J. Novak
B.J. Novak's
One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories
(On-sale by Knopf 2/4/14) is an endlessly entertaining, surprisingly sensitive, and startlingly original debut that signals the arrival of a brilliant new voice in American fiction.
A boy wins a $100,000 prize in a box of Frosted Flakes—only to discover that claiming the winnings might unravel his family. A woman sets out to seduce motivational speaker Tony Robbins—turning for help to the famed motivator himself. A new arrival in Heaven, overwhelmed with options, procrastinates over a long-ago promise to visit his grandmother. We meet Sophia, the first artificially intelligent being capable of love, who falls for a man who might not be ready for it himself; a vengeance-minded hare, obsessed with scoring a rematch against the tortoise who ruined his life; and post-college friends who try to figure out how to host an intervention in the era of Facebook. Along the way, we learn why wearing a red T-shirt every day is the key to finding love, how February got its name, and why the stock market is sometimes just . . . down.
Finding inspiration in questions from the nature of perfection to the icing on carrot cake,
One More Thing
has at its heart the most human of phenomena: love, fear, hope, ambition, and the inner stirring for the one elusive element just that might make a person complete. Across a dazzling range of subjects, themes, tones, and narrative voices, the many pieces in this collection are like nothing else, but they have one thing in common: they share the playful humor, deep heart, sharp eye, inquisitive mind, and altogether electrifying spirit of a writer with a fierce devotion to the entertainment of the reader.
B.J. Novak is a writer and actor best known for his work on NBC's Emmy Award-winning comedy series "The Office" as an actor, writer, director, and executive producer. He is also known for his stand up comedy performances and his roles in motion pictures such as Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" and Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks". He is a graduate of Harvard University with a degree in English and Spanish literature.

Rebecca Mead in 7 Words*:
In the middle I hope and beginning
Great people in 7 Words: http://goo.gl/bl6HcF
A passionate attachment to a great work of literature can shape our lives and help us to read our own histories.
For Rebecca Mead, that book was George Eliot's
, which she first read as a young woman in an English coastal town, and reread regularly throughout her life. In
My Life In Middlemarch
, the
New Yorker
writer revisits her own past and Eliot's work in a new way, by leading us into the life that the book made for her, as well as the many lives the novel has led since it was written. Employing a structure that mirrors that of the novel,
My Life in Middlemarch
blends biography, reporting, and memoir, taking the themes of Eliot's masterpiece—the complexity of love, the meaning of marriage, the foundations of morality, and the drama of aspiration and failure—and bringing them into our world. Mead comes to LIVE from the NYPL to explore the enduring power of Middlemarch, and how the books we read help us read our own lives.
"Rebecca Mead has written a singular and inventive tale about her favorite book, and how it has changed — and changed her — over many years of reading and re-reading. Anyone who has ever loved the characters in a novel as dearly as we love our own families will recognize the passion, the devotion, the intimacy and the joy of returning again and again to a revered classic. Both a memoir and a biography, both an homage and a homecoming,
My Life in Middlemarch
is a perfectly composed offering of literary love and self-observation. I adored it, and it will forever live on my bookshelf next to my own precious paperbacks of George Eliot." - Elizabeth Gilbert
Rebecca Mead is a staff writer for the
New Yorker
and the author of
One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding
. She lives in Brooklyn.
The Sixth Extinction
: Elizabeth Kolbert
http://www.democracynow.org - In the history of the planet, there have been five known mass extinction events. The last came 65 million years ago, when an asteroid about half the size of Manhattan collided with the earth, wiping out the dinosaurs and bringing the Cretaceous period to an end. Scientists way we are now experiencing the sixth extinction, with up to 50 percent of all living species in danger of disappearing by the end of the century. But unlike previous extinctions, the direct cause this time is us — human-driven climate change. In
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
, journalist Elizabeth Kolbert visits four continents to document the massive "die-offs" that came millions of years ago and those now unfolding before our eyes. Kolbert explores how human activity — fossil fuel consumption, ocean acidification, pollution, deforestation, forced migration — threatens life forms of all kinds. "It is estimated that one-third of all reef-building corals, a third of all fresh-water mollusks, a third of sharks and rays, a quarter of all mammals, a fifth of all reptiles, and a sixth of all birds are headed toward oblivion," Kolbert writes. "The losses are occurring all over: in the South Pacific and in the North Atlantic, in the Arctic and the Sahel, in lakes and on islands, on mountaintops and in valleys."

Commissioners opposed to Wash Co. reassessments
Commissioners opposed to Wash Co. reassessments
County commissioners Larry Maggi, Diana Irey Vaughan and Harlan Shober Jr. addressed subjects other than economic development Feb. 28 during the Washington County Chamber of Commerce's monthly breakfast meeting at Southpointe Golf Club.
Chamber president Jeff Kotula and audience members questioned them on a variety of matters.
The commissioners are opposed to the court-ordered reassessment for the county, and will take their protest to the state Supreme Court March 20.
"It's a bad law at the state level," Maggi said. "We'll be trying to get the process changed, the law changed.
"Look north at Allegheny County and see what a fiasco it is. It will cost $6 million to $8 million to fix the system and it will be outdated in a year."
Irey Vaughan added that, "We're fighting reassessment because we want to keep taxes low and keep this an attractive area."
Kotula brought up the Local Share Account program, funded by gambling revenues from the Meadows Racetrack & Casino and used to benefit projects countywide. He asked the commissioners to name projects of which they are most proud.
"I think all of the projects have been highlights," Shober said. "The fact we're talking about (LSA funding) is a highlight. I think about a grant that went to preserve a small school church building in Jefferson Township, in Eldersville. But every community is important. Each has a worthy project."
Irey Vaughan said, "This has boosted the Washington County economy and increased jobs. We've been very appreciative of The Meadows and what this program has done. It has helped keep the tax rate low in Washington County."
"(The LSA program)," Maggi said, "helps communities with water and sewage projects. That use is very satisfying."
One audience member asked about the long-speculated arrival of a Bass Pro store adjacent to Tanger Outlets in South Strabane Township.
"We're still talking on Bass Pro," Maggi said. "It's still alive."

Pieced Patterns:
Pieced Quilt Patterns
Here we have literally hundreds of patterns to choose from - more than 1300; pieced patterns are the most popular among quilters, with applique patterns coming in a close second. Pieced patterns and block patterns began showing up in magazines and newspapers in the late 1800's and a whole new world opened up to quilters that had previously learned and shared with only family and neighbors. Now they were learning and sharing with people all over the country, sometimes all over the world. It was still a far cry from our modern world where patterns are to be found everywhere . . . on the internet, books, quilt shops, magazines. So many patterns, so little time.

Why do Koreans Take on Black Music?
When I listen to Korean radio stations I hear 90's R&B imitations, right down to the 'oohs' and 'aahs'. For a nation of people that look down on blacks, why adopt the music and dance?
There are certain dumb questions that get asked in high frequency, and this has been one of them.
First of all, let's make sure to state what the Korean has stated numerous times before: racism in Korea against darker-skinned folks is real. If you are a darker-skinned foreigner in Korea, you will be treated differently from Koreans. That much is true.
What makes this question dumb is the inability to distinguish different shades of racism. No one -- certainly not the Korean, who has written many, many posts decrying racism -- disputes that racism is vile. Yet there plainly is a difference between the type of racism behind firing off a callous racist joke, and the same behind burning a cross on an African American's front yard. Many, however, slap the same "racism" label across the board and refuse to think much further. The result is a dumb question like this one.
This inability is not simply annoying. It damages and delegitimizes our ability to address racism effectively. Our response against racist actions must be graduated (that is, be put forth in various differing degrees) according to the depth and effect of the racism behind those actions. Failure to do so reduces the fight against racism to a butthurt, over-sensitive arm-waving. It turns the fight against racism into a joke.
Why do Koreans take on black music? Come on. United States in the 1950s was incomparably more racist than Korea today. There was an official policy of segregation for much of the country; most institutions for social mobility (e.g. colleges) were unavailable to African Americans; rape and lynching were common, and no one was ever convicted for those crimes. Yet Elvis Presley -- who expressly acknowledged the African American roots of his music -- was the greatest superstar of that decade. Gee, why did a white American like Elvis adopt black music and dance?
Allow the Korean to reiterate: racism in Korea is real. A lot of Koreans genuinely believe that color of your skin is associated with the content of your character. Foreigners with darker skin are often treated poorly, especially if they are in a situation to pose a threat to Korea's racial majority. But that does not mean that a black person would be pelted with stones while walking down the streets of Seoul. That does not mean that Koreans have a categorical and unflinching stance of rejection toward everything African or African American. Koreans take black music and dance for the same reason anyone else did -- because they are beautiful and awesome.
Got a question or a comment for the Korean? Email away at firstname.lastname@example.com.
38 comments:
When I lived in Saudi Arabia, the lite skin Arabs were racist toward the dark skin Arabs. It was the same in Kenya. I watched lite skin Kenyans beat dark skin Kenyans. I watched Mexicans being racist to Puerto Ricans.ReplyDelete
I concluded from observations in my world travels, that lite skin people are racist toward dark skin people.
I do agree with the Korean that it is a dumb question. I know why my mom hate African Americans. She has been robed by them many times.Replies
Well I think you are wrong about Kenya. There is no racism in Kenya, it is only the tribe issue.Delete
Dear Korean, I like most of your posts which are informative, balanced too but this one different e.g."If you are a darker-skinned foreigner in Korea, you will be treated differently from Koreans." and what about dark skinned Korean!! plus,"A lot of Koreans genuinely believe that color of your skin is associated with the content of your character." - isn't this rather too far stupid, just like the Q here ? If we believe this belief then we should not hate Hitler also for his strange belief !! What is your opinion.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think you have missed the entire point of this post. To compare Koreans to a mass murderer like Hitler is careless. While racism exists in Korea (as it does everywhere in the world), I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single Korean who would actually wish violence and harm on somebody based on skin color or race. Like TK said, there are different degrees of prejudice and saying something like "I would never marry someone darker than me" is very different from saying "All people darker than me ought to be killed."Delete
Racism is an extremely complex issue. To be able to talk about it constructively, one must avoid making sweeping claims/implications that create more misconceptions and animosity. Nobody likes to be insulted, and to equate prejudice with the kind of hate that Hitler possessed is essentially a means to shutting down the conversation.
Thanks for the in-depth answer to this rather juvenile question and for pointing out that there are indeed different degrees of racism that need to be treated differently toReplyDelete
@Thomas: Your mother might have a "reason," but most don't other than social conditioning. We're not born racist.
@Envy: Yes, I've seen my Korean students shamelessly use "n" or "black" to refer to their "darker skinned" classmates. Still doesn't compare to their treatment of actual black people or migrants from the Phillipines, etc. And the Korean is simply stating the truth, not supporting this type of attitude. This is a culture where appearance is everything.Replies
Social conditioning is mostly created by observations. Many Koreans in my area have a good reason being racist toward Africa Americans. One main reason is getting robbed by them. And the LA riots made their hatred deeper.Delete
But Korea is not the only Northern Asian country that is racist toward dark skin people. In Taiwan and Japan they are mean to dark skin people and to the folks from South Asia. They see those folks as servants or day labors.
That's not a good reason at all. Some black guys robbed me so now I hate all black people? Come on...Delete
Haha I have to agree with Goulip because if a white person robbed them i'm pretty sure it'd make a difference! Black person robs me: I hate them all! Burn them! White person robs me: I guess i'll just have to get some new stuff, this sucks but not all white people are like the one who robbed me so whenever I see one i'll just ogle over the fact their a foreigner and have nice hair rather than glare and call them crackers (this is what they'd do to a black person but you know switching around some words XD)Delete
I don't think it's that dumb of a question. What you say about White America stealing extensively from African-American culture in the 1950s is true, but America is a nation that has a large black minority population, so it's unsurprising that black culture has had a big impact there.ReplyDelete
What is remarkable about Korea's "affinity" (if I may call it that) for black music and culture is that I don't see any similar phenomenon in neighboring countries like Japan and China. I don't think it's wrong to say that black music and dance seems to have an unusually strong appeal to Koreans (as opposed to other Asians), nor is it stupid to wonder what the cause of this affinity might be.Replies
Jazz music is REALLY popular in Japan though and that's a "Black music" if ever there was one. Jazz is definitely more popular in Japan than it is in the US.Delete
Yup, dumb question.ReplyDelete
Somebody actually asked me how could Will Smith be so popular in Korea, since everybody knows Koreans hate dark-skinned folks. This had me wondering if this person was just an idiot, or if she was a victim of all the anti-Korean malice on certain websites I need not name. Mostly it made me sad.ReplyDeleteReplies
An African American told me this. Will Smith acts white and that is why many white people accept him.Delete
It's not that Will Smith acts "white" that makes him so popular, it's because he only makes movies where Caucasian people are the majority of the cast and he is usually the only African American lead actor, except maybe if he has a love interest who will be usually African American herself or perhaps hispanic. If Will Smith were to do movies with a predominantly African American cast then he wouldn't have been as popular as he is today. Fresh Prince was only popular because the cast didn't exactly act like the African American stereotype and they were a rich upper class family. It was more "safe" than other African American sitcoms that are out there today.Delete
People watch what they relate to and because the majority of the people in the US are Caucasian, Caucasians will relate more to other Caucasian people than they do to African Americans. That's why it's so easy for people to accept Will Smith. He is different but not too different so they feel they can't relate to his movies at all.
And to answer the person who asked the question to the Korean: People will steal music as long as it's good, regardless of ethnicity, gender and religion.
It's not a dumb question. I just think you're the wrong person to ask. There are black bloggers that had bad experiences because they were black. Why is it dumb to expect that South Koreans wouldn't like black culture, if actual black people feel looked down on in South Korea?ReplyDelete
"...if some actual black people sometimes feel looked down on in South Korea by some Koreans".ReplyDelete
There, fixed it for ya.Replies
This is way late but...don't marginalize racism. That's racist.Delete
Thomas, then according to that guy's reasoning, Will Smith must also act Korean when the whites aren't looking.ReplyDelete
Music is universal and there is a style of music for everyone. Now every style of music is not for everybody, but isn't it great that we can choose the style we like and have the freedom to listen to it? In some parts of the world, people don't have this option.ReplyDelete
I noticed Koreans prefer white skin, but when I first came here my skin was sooooooo dark, tanned from the strong Croatian sunshine. Now I'm very pale, as I have been living in Korea for almost two years. But I never really encountered difficulties because of my once dark skin back then. And when I met my Korean boy too, my skin was very very dark.ReplyDelete
As for the music, a huge percentage of modern pop and rock comes right from the traditional African music, so you will probably be listening and enjoying stuff without even knowing where it came from.
hello:) I'm Korean! I do disagree what you said. It is fact that we have racial discrimination. Since we were young, we've always seen some mediae which says black people do bad things. I think it is same in other countries. So we have a bias against black people without realizing it. But I am sure that these days we don't have such a racism any more. Because we can meet many nice black people very easily. For instance, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Hussein Obama and so on. Even we respect them, we read some books about their life. What is more my favorite actor is Will Smith! Anyway what I want to say is that even though we have racism, it's not because of skin color. It can be because of history or subjective experience or GDP maybe?!! It just reflects personal taste. Same as I like black people but I don't like theirs music!ReplyDelete
It was not a dumb question. There aren't a lot of dumb questions that can be asked. There are a) people who need a larger perspective on the world and b) people who have impatience with the task of expanding other people's perspectives.ReplyDelete
The success of Elvis Presley is proof of racism at that time America. Colonel Tom Parker was looking for a white boy who could sing like a black man, and he knew if he found him he could make a million dollars. He probably made a lot more. The color bar continued in American music until the day that Michael Jackson recorded "Billie Jean."
Korea is still in the space between Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Who knows how long that will last ... ? We will wait and see.
I also think it's an interesting question, and even challenging from a sociological perspective. In my country, people often discriminate on the darker ones (does it sound any familiar?) but at the clubs it's all about cumbia, salsa, reggae, African-Peruvian music, and all sort of genres that have nothing to do with most clubbers reality. The fact that you enjoy certain genre does not necessarily mean you share such social/ethnic group's identity. And, of course, it doesn't mean you accept or appreciate these particular ethnic group. As people say here -sadly- 'You dance with their music but you don't let your daughter marry one of them.'ReplyDelete
I almost didn't want to bother, because I'm obviously in the minority here. But truthfully I don't believe in different degrees of racism. I do believe different people express it differently. I don't think the people who lynched and raped African Americans were more racist than the ones who didn't. They were simply more violent people, period, and African Americans were an acceptable target for their aggression and violent behavior.ReplyDelete
The Nazi's proved that a casual prejudice can easily lead people to commit or stand by while it's being committed, genocide. Not everyone who was antisemetic was in the SS or the Gestapo, many were just regular citizens.
Basically that kind of thinking is dehumanizing for the people that it targets in all it's forms. Whether you act negatively on it or not. I think this a fallacy of thinking that leads racism to flourish.
People think well I don't like black people, but at least I'm not in the KKK.
It's still the same racism. Some people express it overtly, a small minority of people, other people just hide it and express it casually.
Koreans are racist towards dark skin but they may just not express it violently or even very overtly. Don't many northeast asian countries have entire social codes that thrive on subtext anyway?
And most genocides are political. Leaders twist personal and societal prejudices to fit a political agenda. In the US, lynchings were about maintaining the social order which was heavily dependent upon black people being at bottom of society and "knowing their place". In Germany also, many Jews property was immediately seized by jealous neighbors. One of the reasons why Switzerland had to pay many Holocaust victims families reparations for knowingly processing money and wealth that they knew had to be stolen. Most people at the time hated the Jews for their supposed wealth. And as soon as they were hauled off to concentration camps that's the first thing that German people seized.
Even in Bosnia, those genocides were conducted with the purpose of clearing the Muslim segment of the population off the land they occupied. This is the "banality of evil" that people discuss when they talk to the perpetrators of genocide how shockingly "normal" their demeanor and attitude is and how they explain their actions and their usual lack of guilt.
Usually, by the time a genocide is underway, the target of it has been dehumanized to the point that they can be easily killed.
But the first step is racism.
It would being interesting to know what purpose "dark skin prejudice" serves in Korean society. I know much of it has to do with the fact that dark skin is historically associated with poverty and manual labor. Whereas fair skin is associated with being indoors and being wealthy enough not to work or have to spend much time outdoors. I always assumed in many countries this was the case even today, societies changing very little over time.
Is this the case in Korea? Or is racism just being hoisted onto Korean society from America through media. Or is it a combination of both?Replies
Your comment is the only one that makes sense to me on this site. Different degrees of racism??? Racism is racism no matter how you choose to express it. It's all the same. The rest of the bloggers are just in denial.Delete
The thing I don't get is...given Korea's experience with the Japanese during WWII, and indeed most of the Asian countries youReplyDelete
would think that as a society they'd be less susceptible to this kind of thinking.
But I guess that whole "minorities sticking together thing" just does not work in reality although it works well in theory.
When I see PoC being prejudiced against one another I just think..."Why? Aren't we basically in the same position?"
Not a like "can't we all just get along" but, "Hey if we work together we can accomplish a lot since we're basically being threatened by the same thing." But...alas.
You know what I think the question is foul, because 1) It generalized all Koreans as racist and ignorant and 2) because the author assume that even the racist people in Korea like "black" music or whatever.ReplyDelete
But I believe saying that there is a degree in racism is just wrong. How do you explain to someone who is being hated on, and treated like trash because of the color of their skin that there is a difference between nice racist and mean racist? There is no such thing as right or wrong racism. In my book, no matter in which manner it is done the belittling of another human being, reducing him to a status less than that of a human, done nicely or not are one and the same. Does it matter if you're killing me with a smile on your face or with a mean look? At the end of the day, I'm still dead. Racism didn't get together with Korean people and make 3rd degree racism. As a person who is been harassed because of my skin color how do I know that one day you won't just decide to act on you blatant racism and commit a serious crime like killing me? Before Hitler there was hatred, prejudices and racism, then Hitler channeled it towards the Holocaust. It takes one crazy for things to get ugly. You may take something as a harmless joke but I may perceive it as something totally different. Not only we should be the victim of someone else's racist acts (small or otherwise), but we should also be the victims that are considerate enough not to distinguish what degree of racism it is? This is total bs. When feelings get hurt, feelings get hurt.
Another point. It was clear that the majority of if not all Elvis's songs were stolen. Yes he acknowledged that they had black "roots" (asshole could not even bring himself to say that he stole them), but that did not keep him from using the black artists and make money off of them. What is acknowledgement when the artist died poor, and his family lived in starvation. Acknowledgement don't pay the bills or feed children. All Elvis's children are set for lifeReplies
WRONG! Please stop perpetuating a lie about Elvis and his treatment of blacks! Otis Blackwell's daughter says he was well-compensated for his music with Elvis. It was Col. Parker who put Elvis' name on the songs in order to grab writing royalties.Delete
Additionally, the EP estate was nearly broke when he died. Priscilla created the financial empire it is today. He also had 1 child. I'm black and am sick & tired of the lies. JET magazine addressed this issue in the 1960s!!! Get it right!
Moth has it right.Delete
You yourself said: "racism in Korea against darker-skinned folks is real. If you are a darker-skinned foreigner in Korea, you will be treated differently from Koreans. That much is true." "Allow the Korean to reiterate: racism in Korea is real. A lot of Koreans genuinely believe that color of your skin is associated with the content of your character. Foreigners with darker skin are often treated poorly".ReplyDelete
I do not understand why you felt the need to randomly insert the U.S. when the topic at hand is dealing with Korea...not the United States. Discrimination is discrimination period. The young lady's question was not stupid by any means. I myself have seen this question repeatedly and have been wondering the same. Surely if Koreans (most, not all) frown upon darker skin and believe the color of one's skin is associated with the content of one's character, than you can understand why someone such as Andrea would be puzzled as to why Koreans would want anything to do with African American culture/art/entertainment etc. It's almost somewhat... of a contradiction. If I expressed a disdain towards, hmm, let's say Russians, but I loved and showed an interest in Russian culture/art/entertainment etc, is that not confusing?Replies
Bruin, if you put some thought into it you could probably name countless examples of this "contradiction" everywhere. I think the point TK is making is that people take shit they like no matter what their view of the originators.Delete
I appreciate your comment. However this discussion is in address to a specific topic, and I would rather us stay on point than to branch off and excuse everything by saying there are "contradictions everywhere." Again, this is address a SPECIFIC topic. There's no need to branch off. TK just simply walked around the issue; assuming that he has no real answer or argument of defense and he knows it. Considering that that TK is Asian of Korean descent, I would think one would understand how irritating it must be to have one's culture constantly appropriated and exploited.Delete
My discussion of U.S. racism is anything but "random," as you put it. I would recommend reading the post again, and giving some thought about why I discussed the racism in U.S., and its relation to American music.Delete
I think more people in our world need to take responsibility for the fact that Black people (who are in actuality usually some variant of the color brown, but are lazily and ignorantly called black to purposely associate them with a color that symbolizes evil and other negative things) are a scapegoated group. It started during slavery (or even before I suppose) and continues today. Too many people act like sheep and follow the group instead of thinking for themselves. No one is born a bigot! It's learned! Willingly! And I've always wondered if black people are so inferior and others are so superior. Why does that superiority not come to the forefront when these "superior" others are dealing with this alleged "inferior'' group. Tsk, Tsk. How contradictory! How ignorant also! Cowards act this way and imo sociopaths. But what do I know? I'm human too and have my issues. But I do know that scapegoating isn't one of them. And ultimately God (Jesus) will judge us all one day. And I don't know about you but I don't want him to ask me what I did to uplift my fellow man when he was being bullied.ReplyDeleteReplies
This was the best comment I've read all morning. I have sat up for ours pondering and calculating the reason behind why dark skin is so feverishly hated by all cultures and not just the Koreans. However this answer was the most accurate, conclusive and TRUTHFUL statement yet. Racism is Racism. Period. Hatred us Hatred. To look down on an individual BORN with dark skin and automatically ASSUME their character to be negative is just as WRONG and hate filled as a KKK member looking down on dark people and assuming they are less than simply because of SKIN. At the end if the day when you cut someone of any race we ALL bleed RED. We're ALL human and no amount of: Class, Wealth, Status, Fame nor Upbringing(farmer or executive) should merit the means for human beings to hate and discriminate against other human beings.Delete
Sad :( i wanted to study there, but i cant deal with all of that. The Korean Culture is something i love to study and i want to learn more about, its just sad that i wouldn't be able to do that up close. I am a light skinned black female but my skin is probably still too dark for their liking :/ oh well (starts to cry a little)ReplyDeleteReplies
I feel your pain! I am dark-skinned, so it is an issue that I have to deal with when traveling. Sometimes it IS a matter of personal safety.Delete
HOWEVER!! Don't let that stop you. Use the Internet to locate other black expatriates who can help you do what you want to do.
As a Korean, I can definitely say that if you're in Seoul or any large city and you're studying Korean culture and really love it, you'll be greeted warmly by most people. I'd actually recommend studying mostly in smaller cities because they tend to be less racist and more open to people in general, away from the superficiality of the capital. Like any country, showing effort to speak Korean and learn about Korea will earn you respect, not hateDelete

Jamming and Gaming
Published: Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 19:07
The Return
Welcome to 2012 and welcome to the new glorious technology and innovations that come along with it. With PlayStation Vita's, iPhones and all over techno nonsense, we are in for one crazy ride. I start this week off with a special review of some new devices with the courtesy of AT&T. This should be fun.
Phone? Handheld? Or something in between?
One of the devices I recently got to play with was the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY 4G, which is Sony's answer to the ever growing market of people gaming on their phone. The non-gaming average person out there will not go buy a new game console or handheld, but they will buy a smart phone … genius.
So the biggest selling point is this phone is cheap through AT&T only $30 with a 2-year contract, yeah I know-a contract, but what phone doesn't come with one nowad ays? Yes, this does look like a wannabe PSP, but it was made by Sony so it makes sense. It works fine as a phone with the usual specs, but I must say the screen is pretty nice, yet the real question is how does it function as a gaming device?
Don't give up your day game
Just to sum everything up real quick, if you want to game, don't get a gaming capable phone, get a game system. However, if you're a not a big-time gamer or have a young one who wants a phone and/or game system, you can kill two birds with one stone. You can't hate on a 30 dollar price tag.
Now good things: the games are better with the slide out gaming pad and it comes with a very generous amount of games already built in. Sitting in class and just walking along, I made people look with the 'what is that in his hand' expression and it's a good conversation starter, especially for the elementary school generations. I personally would not get one for a $30 two-year commitment but it makes one affordable Christmas or birthday present for someone else as long as you put his or her name on the contract.
Jambox … It's not as hipster as the commercial makes it seems
The Jambox by Jawbone is probably one of the coolest little devices I have seen lately. I personally didn't know it existed and I asked around and it has pretty much flown under the radar, until now. (Cues dramatic music).
So this little Bluetooth speaker is pricy, coming in at $200, but if you have the extra cash it's worth the buy. The sound quality is really good, so good that 200 hundred dollars doesn't seem so bad … almost. And with a 5 plus hour battery life and the fact it can fit in your pocket, you have a product that is moving in the right direction.
The reason why I wouldn't buy it yet is because it only has speakers on one side, so the sound is very directional. You can't use it to host a party. You just can't, it won't happen, even though the bass has a quality equivalent to that of a 2-foot bass speaker-yeah the bass is that amazing. The number one reason I wouldn't buy it is because I know the Jambox 2, or something better, is on its way so unless you need it now, save yourself a couple of dollars.
The Future
Later this week I will bring you some phones to look at and then guys, it has been a good ride but, my tech blog is becoming a game blog. But don't fear, the tech blog is becoming TECHNOLOGY AND BEYOND and it will be going into crazy depth. Be ready to get your mind itching … until we met again.

The White Ribbon Alliance's Tattoo Parlour in The Park was a big hit again this year, with thousands lining up to get their 'heart mum' stick-on tattoo - and to send a postcard to their own mum from the Festival.
The Master Musicians of Joujouka, in the tipi next door, provided a vibrant soundtrack - when Radiohead and Pulp weren't raising the rafters from the Park Stage.

I ordered 2 binders and they are perfect for what I needed. They look nice too. I had scrapbooked all my pictures from baby to age 20 on 8 1/2 X 11 pages and the book was huge. So, I ordered 2 smaller binders. The cloth cover makes it more personal rather than looking like a business binder.
I really wish it was not so deep so it would fit in my standard bookcase. I really love everything else about it ! It holds a lot of pages, its built really well, and I really like the clear plastic cover that is removable !!! I wanted to replace all my 24 photo albums and put a number/ years on spine, but they stick out of my standard bookcase and will have to find another alternative.

Carl Lewis speaks out on Bolt, U.S. performance in Beijing, more Story Highlights
Lewis insists that lack of random testing leaves Usain Bolt open to suspicion
"I was embarrassed that the U.S. could not pass the baton [in Beijing]"
Nine-time Olympic gold medalist says he can't be compared to Michael Phelps
Last week, SI.com caught up with nine-time gold medalist Carl Lewis at the Audi Best Buddies Challenge, a charity bicycle tour and fundraising event to help people with intellectual disabilities. Lewis weighed in on everything from Usain Bolt's record-breaking performance in Beijing to Team USA fumbling the baton in the relays.
[99% of post cut by mods; what is that some of you morons don't understand about copyright infringement?]
Does Carl Lewis believe that the world has stood still since the days when he used to run?
He ignores some basic facts about Usain to assume that something must be sinister because he dropped three tenths off his 100 metre time.
Has he bothered to look at the biomechanical adjustments that Usain has made and the fact that he ran 19.93s as a 16 year old with significanly flawed technique?
Does this really mean that the only explanation he can offer for Bolt's dramatic improvement is PEDs?
Clearly then, he is not very bright.
You know, I respected his accomplishments as an athlete but he strikes me as being very bitter. He even insinuates that Asafa Powell is using PEDS. How dare he question the integrity of an athlete like Powell, who has been an advocate of severely punishing cheaters and who has been tested more than he ever was.
What Lewis needs to realise is that these Jamaican athletes are tested more often than he would like to believe.
His argument that half of the men who have run under 9.80 were exposed as cheaters is weak in that Tyson Gay a fellow American athlete who has legally run 9.77s has subjected himself to rigourous testing and has never been found to have cheated.
What he argues is similar to an argument that states that some people should never be able to achieve higher physical standards because others needed PEDs to achieve those standards.
By his own arguments the fact that he once held the world record for the men's 100m, means he was using PEDs.
Oops, I forget. He was.
I think that you are a little harsh (but only a little), as Carl was a little more careful in his comments, while at the same time being sometimes careless and selective in a manner that someone n his position should not be.
He said that the difference in testing regimes raises questions because, in part, the US system is now catching a broader array. He had an interesting, but slightly selective comment on VCB. She did not make the team, but she missed by just a smidgen, as those girls were very tightly clustered. She also did make the team, and win a tough OG 200.
He was also selective in the 100m times for Bolt, who had not been racing it, was young, and had great 200 times from far back (I cannot comment specifically about the 'terrible technique' comment above, although I believe it to be true). Furthermore, the 200 really is equally important and for someone to be really good at the 100 when they are really good at the 200 is not that rare (and more common then the converse).
I suspect that Jamaica will become a little more transparent in the testing regime -- they may well be doing a very good job but the specifics are not widely known (but will be more widely known in part because there will be response to Carl and others); in fact there have been comments that have been along these lines for several months now (including pre-OGs).
However, Carl has always been a 'little' bit like this and is not mellowing with age (except for his voice? ). He does have a lot of responsibility because people are going to ask him questions and he has to do more than cast aspersions.
Carl Lewis has always been outspoken. He was also constantly scrutinized during his career. Being a former Olympian does not necessarily make him an expert on all things T&F, but he certainly lived deep in that world. He was asked his opinion and he gave it, no holds barred. But it is just one man's opinion. I don't read his comments as bitter, just that he expects scrutiny as he experienced. If he were truly bitter, he would not be involved in the sport anymore or want to talk about it.
Alan Greenspan said that if he were told he could never discuss politics and financial policies after retiring, he would have never taken the Fed Chairman job. I suspect Carl Lewis feels the same.
King Carl is very near being dead on right again:
" I'm proud of America right now because we have the best random and most comprehensive drug testing program. "
It will be interesting to see what 2012 has to say about 5 of 6 short dash wins coming from the carib.
That's right Carl. Everything in the US of A is good now. Balco is allll behind you. Good thing you keep referencing Ben Johnson which was only 20 years ago. Nothing more shocking or disgraceful has happened in the World of sport since then, right?
Why is it that people keep using Ben Johnson's name when, clearly, much worse has gone on in places like Russia, Britain and the US since then? Please feel free to comment.
Being outspoken about an issue is one thing. Casting aspersions and doubt over a specific athlete are another. I really object to him continuing the myth that the Jamaicans aren't tested as much as everyone else. He should do his research.
It just sounds like the same sour grapes that I read on this message board and others.
CARL LEWIS IS 99 % RIGHT. I applaud the man, now in his late 40s, to come out and flat out tell his opinion. i find it very hard to argue with any of the sound points he makes. He is right on about the Ben Johnson matter, one year he is just bitter and sour grapes, the next year a prophet. And yes despite what myopic people on this board think, it has had a tremendous effect on the sport, even 20 yrs later it is a big deal. Even more than Marion Jones in prison. Even more than Conte and Balco. Even more than Graham. Even more than the Russians and all the others. And he is dead on about the us relay team in the olympics, two dropped buttons, i was hysterical when i read what he said about layrun williams. I mean people will come up with any excuse, even blame an inanimate object like a button ! Say what you want about the man, his character, his personal life, whatever, he is so damn right I can't help but applaud him for having the courage to speak out.
As far as some of the posters on this board, the only thing i can say is that they have the same exact attitude they did before some of the other big names got busted...the ostrich with the head in the sand mentality. Then they wonder why NBC and others media outlets shun track and field...
Ok, so everyone hates Carl. He's outspoken & brash. A typical sprinter!
He has claimed that most everyone who ran faster than him was on steroid, hgh, etc. Look at the list of those who ran faster & failed a test. Look at it already. Forget the messenger & read the message. He is right. He named them all in his interview. Sure enough, almost everyone who ran faster than him failed a test or was named as involved in some drug ring.
Ostriches, take your heads out of the sand already.
"Alan Greenspan said that if he were told he could never discuss politics and financial policies after retiring, he would have never taken the Fed Chairman job. I suspect Carl Lewis feels the same"
In the most recent issue of _Fortune Magazine_, there's an interesting
opinion piece that argues that _Alan Greenspan_ would be better off
keeping a lower profile, as his speaking out so much on the economy
tends to undermine the positions of the current Fed Chairman....
(though I'm not sure that has much to say about the Carl situation)....
So he was hitting about the rapid improvements made by Ben Johnson. What about Flo-Jo, her improvements were far more drastic. This is very hypocritical.
Carl seems to be very dunce also. How can you use a one off race where bolt ran 10.03 to judge his improvement to 9.69 when bolt ran 19.93 at 17 and did 19.75 last year. Obviously Bolt could have run sub 10 before this year with proper mechanics.
Bolt did 45.34 at 15 and 19.93 at 17. The world has never seen a more talented sprinter. You cant compare no one else to him idiots!.
When Carl goes off like this I think the word 'hypocritical' comes to mind . . .
so because Carl did not name every single person in an interview that he thought was on PEDs he is a hypocrite. Well if that is proof of hypocricy then who is not. and since some folks think that hypocricy in such matters is worse than taking PEDs where do we go from here. PPAALEASE!.. more Jamaica yams.
The guy said he was hitting out on BEN JOHNSON long before he got caught, while Flo-Jo was making greater improvements than BEN JOHNSON but some how he never noticed this ever, and i am not talking about this one interview.
Agree 100%, trackaholic. The Woman's record books are a constant reminder to the stench of the East German regime - a documented steroid factory in the 70's.
I guess if King Carl wants to look at time drops, he should look at Michael Johnson's run in 1996. Did he suggest Michael was on steroids too?
When it comes to being an Ambassador of the sport, Carl Lewis can't hold Michael Johnson's jockstrap. One of my all-time favorite track moments was watching the replay of Johnson watching Usain Bolt break his world record. From the angle of the camera, it didn't appear that he knew that he was being filmed, but he reacted with as much excitement as a Jamaican track fan. There was not even a hint of resentment in his reaction.
This guy Carl Lewis always rubs me the wrong way. I was wondering where he was all this time during the games. I just knew that he wouldn't have anything good to say about the Jamaicans acheivements, especially Bolt's. Yes there is PED users out there that will be caught but until then, can you just assess the acheivements of an athlete that the world has never seen before. He seems to think that he will always be the greatest and anyone who seem to rival his greatness(Bolt) cannot be clean. Even the most cynical person out there thinks that Bolt is one of those rare talent that comes along once in a generation. Lewis to me is just so pro American and cannot accept the fact that someone from another country is arguably the greatest of all time. He talks about him being a long jumper before a sprinter, but he can't use that same thinking that Bolt didn't focus on the 100m all his career then decided to and realise that he is good at it. I have never seen anyone clown around and look so effortless, PED users or not. I think this guy is as selfish and jealous as they come. I don't know why they want his opinion anyway.
One Love!!
so carl now is a hypocrite and a dunce ! what stupidity. most of you guys were proabably in diapers in 88 so you don't remember that carl was very suspicious about flo jo and her group during the trials and the olympics. even more so when flo jo retired in early 89, even before the season started, never running another race after the seoul olympics. edwin moses has spoken out on drug use and users, throughout the last 20 yrs, does that make him a hypocrite and a dunce too ?
read the script
he discusses only <9.80 guys & their chequered history
his pb was 9.86, so that means he made no comment on the 9.80 - 9.86 guys like donovan, bruny, frankie & ato
As much as most of us hope that Bolt is clean, we have to accept the
fact that his level of performance causes suspicions. In fact, it
would be naive to rule out the possibility---just as it would be for
Gay, Thompson, or Dix.
If you feel that someones suspicions are unwarrantedly large, a
personal attack is really not going to help. Instead attack the
arguments you consider faulty, point to over-looked evidence to the
contrary, etc.
In particular, for the Jamaicans: Do not take suspicions against Bolt
as a personal insult or a discrimination of Jamaica. Believe me, after
Marion, Gatlin, and Montgomery there is a considerable shadow over the
US athletes in public opinion; the Russians are under much greater
suspicion than the Jamaicans; and at least I have to deliberately fight
the impulse to unfairly think ``cheater'' as soon as I hear the name
of a greek athlete.
Actually, he did say something good about the Jamaicans during the Olympics when he was a guest on German TV. This interview with SI sounds a lot different, but then again it is SI.
Lewis was wrong about Jamaican testing. The Jamaicans are subject to random out of competition testing be the IAAF and the JAAA. The problem is that the the JAAA doesn't have an independent testing agency. He also talks about Bolt's 10.03 PR totally out of context as parkerrclay has already pointed out at the top of this page. Also, Lewis omitted Maurice Greene as one of those sub-9.80 guys.
Usain Bolt was also in diaper in 1988.
Carl lewis is using falacious reasoning. He draws illogical conclusions from false premises. An example of this type of reasoning based of Carl Lewis reasoning :
Look at these two scenarios below and if you are logical in your reasoning then you will realise that either (a) Carl Lewis cannot reason logically OR (b) The implied conclusion in scenario (2) is true based off carl lewis reasoning.
Scenario (1)
Explicit Statement from Carl Lewis reasoning:Veronica Campbell rank number one in the world over 100 meters did not make the Jamaica Olympics team in 2008 .
implied Concluison Based off Carl Lewis Reasoning: All the other female who beat her at the Jamaica trials in the 100 meters were doping.
Scenario (2)
Fact:Sanya richards (a jamaican by birth with steady traing in the US) rank number one in the world over 100 meters did not make the US world championship team in 2007
Implied Concluison Based off Carl Lewis Reasoning: All the other female who beat Sanya Richards (a genetically Gifted Jamaican by birth) at the US trials in the 400 meters were doping.
I could point out others but you analyze what "king Carl" he is saying and find them:
Bolt who was in diaper when Carl lewis was running has been faster than Carl lewis over 200 in all of these age group categories:
at 15 years old
at 16 years old
at 17 years old
at 18 years old
at 19 years old
at 20 years old
at 21 years old
at 22 years old
In fact Usain Bolt from as early as a 17 year old kid has run faster times than what Carl lewis has ran over 200meters When carl Lewis was 21 years old.

Carl strikes again.
He is FOS
What he said was hard to argue with.
Does not make it right.
He has done this at every improvement and to every sprint star since Ben.
The problem is not this singular interview or him giving his opinion. It is the consistency with which he runs down those better than him.
Notice how he explains away the suspicions on him and his 1988 issues, yet holds all those that have run 9.80 and faster to a strict definition.
He is bitter and has been since he was an athlete. And I was not in diapers, I was a Carl fan. I started hitch kicking in my long jump because I wamted t be like Carl. I could not stand Mike Powell because he broke the record I was just waiting for Carl to take. Now Mike is one of my good friends. Funny what you learn as you get older.
The bigger problem is that Carl is the most recognizable figures in the world and represents track and field to the world, even still. Yet you are hard pressed to find him propping the sport at any point in his life. He believes because he ran fast and jumped far that he did enough for us. Carl has accused MJ, thus the row between Carol and Carl and MJ back in the mid 90s. Everyone remembers MJs comments in 1995 lol.
Carl did leave the sport, and when asked he admitted numerous times it was because he was disillusioned (bitter).
Some of you can try and explain awat this recent article but those of us who know the history are not accepting his recent, bitter rant.
Oh, the Jamaicans are not tested as much as others with independent testing agencies. AND even if their numbers were equal, the lack of an independent agency is the problem. If it is a problem elsewhere then it is a problem in amaica too.
he didn't mention sanya
probably because she ran 50.68 in that race
this is a gal who has run 48.7
he woud have to be a numbskull to use that as an example of 3 gals beating her that day being dopers
he was doing lj most those early years & little/no 200s
how about redoing that list for bolt & his yearly lj from 15 -22y ?
Last edited by eldrick on Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:30 am, edited 1 time in total.
His implication is not that all of the others are doping but that some might be - there is a suspicious element.
Sanya was not the #1 ranked 100m runner; do you mean 400m?
Eldy is a category 6 hurricane of T&F wisdom, a "oneman" veritable institution of higher T&F learning.
In all honesty, can ANYONE see a motive for Carl's media rants beyond self obsession?
He doesn't care about the sport at all. It's not coming out of genuine concern for the good of the sport or athletes, he just wants to maintain his place as an all time great(est) and does this by doubting the performance(s) of anyone who threatens his achievements.
People trust him, and he is running down the credibility of the sport to the general public. Just when they find something that takes their interest.
Then he has the audacity to promote American drug testing and ergo American athletes (Which I guess includes himself), when...let's be honest, the big name take downs have been incredibly detrimental and most of which were caught through external tests/investigations.
It's not like his opinion is unique, many people feel the same way, fair enough. However, such protestations aren't even tolerated on a message board like this. Yet, Mr. Lewis feels it perfectly acceptable to vent his "concerns" to the public via an ever eager media that only report on T&F when the article can contain the word DRUGS?
He just seems really adamant on destroying the sports image.
After all the sport gave him!
I find it really sad

So, you work for a Big Media outfit with a mission to attract readers and eyeballs. To this end, you need to shake up the joint -- to startle the children and frighten the horses. No natch' you hunt up Carl Lewis, dependable old Carl. And, sho' nuff! You get a few provocative quotes that might be enough to get you that pay raise you've been badgering your boss about, especially now that gas is approaching $5.
Indeed he was
Read Dave Wallechinsky's comments in the Book of the Summer Olympics.
1988 and CL should not have been there, but it was Olympic year and only winning Goldies mattered to the USOC.
No out of season testing then, I believe. How fortunate for some.
Nasty hypocrite our Carl, some might consider. The extent to which he benefited is not the issue, but he got a slap on the wrist for breaking the rules.
Sort of don't do it again , you naughty boy.
