The White Professional Anti-Racist

21 Dec 2009The latest episode of News with Nezua is one I had to link to because it was about a figure that unfortunately I have come into contact with in my years as an activist and blogger, the white professional anti-racist. This person may come across as being on your side and having your back pero eventually will try and create/promote divisions and create conflict to support his/her own career growth. Not to mention the tokenization. While Nez’s video is male-centric, there are plenty of women who play the role as well. Additionally, as a women who has sat in conferences and been brought to events, the way that tokenizing and divide and conquer politics plays out against women of color is especially problematic.
Hugo at Copenhagen

21 Dec 2009A tentative, yet to be finalized Copenhagen Accord has been reached following contentious negotiations this past week. Later I’ll sit down and read the climate accord including pledges to reduce emissions pero as usual Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez brings it (which way he brings it is a matter of opinion of course). He tears down capitalism , criticizes Obama as winner of the Nobel Peace Price and quotes Galeano, Marx, Jesus, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Simon Bolivar, Fidel Castro, and Rosa Luxemburg. Damn.

The Partial Justice of the DOJ Indictment in the Luis Ramirez Case
7:04 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Immigration|Justice|New York City|pennsylvania|Uncategorized|Violence · 7 Comments
21 Dec 2009When Anthony Baez as killed by former NYPD officer Francis Livoti 14 years ago tomorrow, the blue wall of silence, the blue wall of collusion and covering up went up but soon was knocked down thanks to a powerful coalition of grassroots organizations and attorneys that worked to support Anthony’s mother Iris.
While the death of Luis Ramirez wasn’t at the hands of police in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, the recent Federal indictments of five people, including three police officers, for their roles in the death and subsequent cover up, remind us that the blue wall of silence is related to the border wall and the hateful rhetoric surrounding immigration, especially Latino immigration.
From an email from the National Alliance for Immigrant Rights Coordinating Committee:
The federal indictment comes from a statute that that makes it a federal offense to interfere with a person’s housing rights on the basis of race through threat or force. Derrick Donchak and Brandon Piekarsky were also accused, along with members of the local police department of scheming to obstruct the investigation of the attack. According to the Department of Justice both civilian defendants could get life in prison for the hate crime charge, while Donchek faces additional prison time for his role in the conspiracy to obstruct justice. Three police officers, including Shenandoah Police Chief Mathew Nestor were indicted for conspiring to obstruct justice in the investigation of the attack and face up to 20 years in prison. One of the three also faces charges of making false statements to the FBI. Nestor and his second in command face additional federal corruption and civil rights charges related to another matter.
