Surviving the Race War: Conclusion
AND JUST LIKE THAT, the Great American Televised Race War ends. No money to fund it, perhaps. Advertisers running scared? There are certain memes we like to keep less...outspoken. Who says Americans don't desire subtlety? The show will still run, but the idea of segregated tribes has been abandoned....

Little Sister Born in This Land
EN ESTO VIERNES HERMOSO, as the sun beams down, as the sky opens her azul-a-glimmer eye, as the bees begin to cycle their ebon velvet engines, as the horribly unhealthy woman circles my block one more time with her horribly small and high-yipping dog, I bring you a poem written...

Progress
Migration has given many residents a way out of poverty.But migration has also chipped away at the community's traditions, some residents say. Few still wear indigenous garb and many younger residents speak better English than Hñahñu.'Before, maybe we were poor, but we lived in solidarity with our neighbors,' said Martinez,...

The White Lens
LET ME TRY TO SKETCH OUT what I mean with all my talking of White vs. Non-white, and what that means to me. Because I'm stepping on some toes. And if we're going to bump into each other, let's make it nose to nose. When I say "White,"I don't...

The Love-Struck Locust
AND THAT'S JUST WHAT AMERICA DOES—like some infatuated locust who destroys the very things she preys upon. You see it time and time again. Part of our process in learning about and appreciating any other culture also involves devaluation and denigration and domination of that same culture. We'll pick,...

A Machine Dream of Virtual Equality
AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, a room of bloggers is invited to sit with Clinton, they take a happy photo of which no smiling mugs are of a non-White race, and "bloggers of color" around the blogo-cosmos comment and are clearly appalled. Now I don't think any regular readers at The Unapologetic...

The Secret Plan to Inflict Guilt Upon Whites
THE BRILLIANT (AND NEVER SCARED) JONAH GOLDBERG has uncovered a diabolical plan that stretches at least 300 years into our past; a plan that shows the long-range planning skills inherent in the 9/11 attacks, among many other horrendous anti-American actions.

I get up at about 4 or 4:30 every morning, and as part of my routine, I scan the news and blogs. You know how it is. You usually end up frustrated, sad, sometimes sneering, sometimes laughing, often thoughtful. But usually annoyed a bit. The Mex Files brought me a...
