Marion Barry: Living in DC is pretty much the same as being a slave

Society & Culture

http://twitter.com/#!/marionbarryjr/status/485071299082203136 From the link: I am not included within the pale of glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine… Barry is saying that because Washington DC isn’t […]

Ruh-roh … are unions partly to blame for ‘unbearable whiteness of liberal media’?

Society & Culture

http://twitter.com/#!/dantebarry/status/465847066603040768 Writer Gabriel Arana’s new piece for the left-wing American Prospect is raising some eyebrows this morning, merely by acknowledging what conservatives have known for a long time: The liberal media is dominated by progressives of pallor. http://twitter.com/#!/aterkel/status/465860267445075968 You don’t say! It’s not just the Prospect. Journalism upstarts like Vox Media and FiveThirtyEighthave come under fire recently for lack of diversity in their hires, but that’s largely because they are drawing from the milky-white pool of “existing talent.” In the corner of the publishing industry that caters to college-educated wonks—a slightly fuzzy […]

Jesse Jackson’s ‘racial extortion racket’ comes to Silicon Valley

Society & Culture

http://twitter.com/#!/irishspy/status/466244893904355328 The Reverend Jesse Jackson is reportedly in San Jose today to demand technology companies be more inclusive. According to San Francisco CBS affiliate KPIX: Jackson wrote to tech companies including Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Hewlett Packard, Google and others earlier this year about the problem he sees saying, “Technology is supposed to be about inclusion, but sadly, patterns of exclusion remains the order of the day.” You probably thought technology was supposed to be about innovation and invention.
