Black Cherokees

Spencer Overton blogs on blackprof.com about the expulsion of Blacks from the Cherokee tribe:

Advocates of last week’s expulsion didn’t want to share the $350 million from casino and federal funds with the freedmen: “Don’t get taken advantage of by these people. They will suck you dry,” wrote Darren Buzzard in an e-mail. “Don’t let black freedmen back you into a corner. Protect Cherokee culture for our children.”

Bill O’Reilley and Dead Children

Anthony, of SmackDog Chronicles, blogs about Bill O’Reilley’s reaction to the death of eight children and one adult in a fire that raged in the Bronx:

Anyone wants to bet that the four firemen who BillO is praising happen to be White?? I mean, I guess that it’s more important to him that four White firemen be prevented from injury than the fate of 18 Black immigrants holed up in a hellish situation be “supervised” for their legal citizen status and tagged as “illegal aliens” to be deported….all in the name of saving their lives, I would venture.

Can Men Be Feminists?

ceceliahouse blogs about whether men can be consiered feminists, or pr0-feminists, or feminist allies in her blog Radical Feminism:

Erin and I have been talking a little lately about whether or not men can be feminists. I am pretty conflicted about this, not because I think that most men that identify as feminists actually are (frequently, the ones I meet definitely are NOT), but because I do think that there are male feminists (however few there may be) and because of my frustrtations with the label “Pro-Feminist” that many men use.
