Racism In Hollywood
Barely ten years later, and it’s already impossible to recall with any precision the depths of uncertainty that was life post-Hurricane Katrina. Much of the collectively kept digital diary of that catastrophe has already been forgotten – in some cases paved over in page redesigns or simply lost to “web erosion,” relegated forever to 404: Page Not Found status. And yet, in the immediate aftermath of the storm, the evacuated Gulf Coast diaspora reconnected primarily online — via blog posts, community newsletters and frequently forwarded emails. Contrary to what high school guidance counselors everywhere will tell you, the Internet, it turns out, is not forever.
When the levees broke, New Orleans stayed in touch digitally. Here are some of their heart-wrenching stories
It’s a familiar idea in music and movies. In the civil rights era, even Pulitzer-winning white journalists tried to ‘pass’ as black. Does faking it offer a valuable lesson about our changing attitudes to race – or is it because I is black?
Ava DuVernay, director of the Academy Award-nominated film SELMA, speaks on race in Hollywood, courtesy of democracynow.org.
On one hand I hate fckh8 but I’m the other this is the truth 👏👏
PAS 327.01 student Alexandra Jimenea had the opportunity to visit New Orleans recently, and took these pictures to demonstrate that the Ninth Ward neighborhood has not changed very much at all since the events depicted in the 2008 documentary TROUBLE THE WATER. Thank you, Alexandra, for sharing!
We also tell the story of Brian Nobles who speaks as sort of the heart and soul and conscience of this film…Brian was struggling before Katrina. He was fighting an addiction and he’d been living in a group home. He’d been clean for a good long time but he was in a group home and he didn’t have a permanent address so he wasn’t eligible for FEMA assistance. So it didn’t turn out as well for everybody.

What is a “two spirit?”
According to the website NativeOUT.com:
“A Two Spirit person is a male-bodied or female-bodied person with a masculine or feminine essence. Two Spirits can cross social gender roles, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
Since Europeans arrived in the Americas, they’ve documented encounters with Two Spirit people. In many tribes, Two Spirit people were accepted and respected, but that changed with colonization. The colonizers, through forced assimilation efforts, changed acceptance into homophobia in many indigenous communities.”
