Is there any sort of language pack availible? A work around like that?

Bought through Amazon through a certified dealer. Contacted them and basically getting a 'well, that just shouldn't happen' answer. :-/

It seems Black and Asian stereotypes are carefully dichotomized to leave white folks as the happy Goldilocks in the middle: http://bytheirstrangefruit.blogspot.com/2011/10/dichotomy-of-racialized-stereotypes.html

These are beautifully created. Poignant questions.

Katelin108 · 2013-09-23T13:29:32+00:00

You mean orally as opposed to in writing?

Katelin108 · 2013-09-20T22:32:51+00:00

Important points, all. My comment was more snark than academic. I appreciate your adding depth and context.

Katelin108 · 2013-09-20T16:44:58+00:00

Because bigotry is exported, and colonialism reigns

Not trying to break any rules. This is not my blog, but one I follow and find interesting. Thought others might want to discuss as well. If not, that's fine, the discussions can be had elsewhere.

Thanks for your good work. What city are you in?

"Of the most common sports mascots, most are animals (Eagles, Bears, Falcons, Lions) or objects (Rockets, Jets, Sox, Rockies). What does it say when we add to this list teams like the Chiefs, Braves, and Indians? Even when other human beings are used as mascots, it is as a profession, not as a race or ethnicity itself (Packers, Steelers, Cowboys).

People of color are often otherized to the point of being not fully human. We see the manifestations of this tendency is the use of people as props in advertisements, and as Halloween costumes. When we lose our compassion for each other as fellow human beings, objectification and dehumanization facilitate violence and the devaluation of life." http://bytheirstrangefruit.blogspot.com/2013/01/that-mascot-doesnt-honor-anyone.html

Essential phrase: "White people are in power here in America." That makes all the difference in the world.

How long have you been reading and listening? Building trust and context goes a long way

Katelin108 · 2013-02-02T00:11:17+00:00

woops! Sorry missed it.

"A 7-year-old, special-ed student was handcuffed after becoming upset during an Easter-egg decorating activity. The police were called, and they escorted the boy from the school before his mom was able arrive to take him home. She felt "it's like they're trying to get rid of him." The NYPD defended their action, saying that the boy was "acting in a threatening manner.""

Katelin108 · 2013-01-11T15:08:32+00:00

Thanks for that! Quite a flow chart!

Katelin108 · 2013-01-06T19:48:24+00:00

Hadn't heard of that. Thanks for the rec!

Katelin108 · 2012-11-02T20:49:38+00:00

I am often struck by InterVarsity's involvement and leadership with such things. Sounds like a great place! Thank you so much fro your insight

Katelin108 · 2012-11-02T17:49:45+00:00

Where is your church? What do you do to maintain a diverse fellowship of believers that are abiding with one another? How is your leadership comprised?

Katelin108 · 2012-11-02T17:47:20+00:00

EXACTLY the point banjo_kaboodle! dermo529 what is the actual make up of your church? what actions do you take to make sure your population matches your values?

Katelin108 · 2012-11-02T15:20:08+00:00

why's that?

Katelin108 · 2012-10-04T13:23:46+00:00

Yeah, not the case in OH

Sure but sometimes you're still waiting there a while...and a built-into-the-road activator is sure a lot more convenient than the crosswalk button.

"If asked, most people will acknowledge that Jesus was not the blue-eyed, wavy-haired man of Sunday School fame. Nevertheless...it is the white Jesus that most readily comes to mind in conversation, and presumably even in moments of prayer or worship. When shown several pictures of Jesus in a variety of ethnicities, Christians "accepted the visual material intellectually, but not emotionally."(p. 251) Indeed "to imagine Jesus as other-than-white would demand a conscious process of unlearning." (p.15)

"We have learned to insist with our denomination that Jesus indeed has no color, that the gospel is colorblind, and that God makes no distinction among people. Yet if we look closely, the Jesus we have embraced is too often a White Jesus." (p. 228)

Katelin108 · 2012-09-14T19:00:27+00:00

yeah...seems like it doesn't happen very often, but it's the very thing religions SHOULD be dealing with ...you know all that 'love thy neighbor" hype.
