Every once in a while, I get a fan mail that says something along the lines of, “I know such and such is wrong but I don’t really understand why.” Recently, I got this question about “The Black Friend.”

Most of you know that saying, “I’m not racist, I have Black friends” or...

This is a map that will show you size, income, householder age and race as of the 2010 census.

The first picture is a screen shot of Milwaukee, Wisconsin–– that’s Holt Street. Look at the clear divide between black and white… hypersegregation is alive in Milwaukee, WI, making it one of the most segregated cities in the US.

The second picture is a screen shot of Detroit, Michigan–– that’s East 8 Mile Road. Another obvious racial divide. I know most people have been recently acknowledging the issues of Detroit… but I think this visual makes it all the more real.

Even when we discus the CRM, segregation, and civil rights issues, the North is often left out of the mainstream conversations. How can we continue to leave cities like these out of the discussion, when it is clearly still a huge issue? I think it’s important to acknowledge that segregation is still prevalent in these places and that these are serious issues that need to be more included in conversations.

Anyways, I’m way in the early stages of my research, but I’m really interesting in learning about the history of Milwaukee to learn why this clear divide exists, and why Milwaukee remains one of the most segregated cities in the US.

WHEN YOU MEET ANOTHER FEMINIST

I came across this cryptic poster today near Lincoln Center. The QR code leads you to this website, which explains that it’s part of a campaign created by New York-based visual artist Chang-Jin Lee to remember the victims of Japanese sexual slavery during World War II and to raise broader awareness of sexual violence during wartime. The campaign will culminate this Wednesday afternoon at Columbia University with the screening of a mini-documentary produced by Lee that includes interviews with “comfort women” survivors and a former Japanese soldier. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Columbia history professor Charles Armstrong.

our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. or the terror of one person aching in one place alone

Let’s go through this in steps, shall we?

1. As a whole, women in our society are often given tips on “how to avoid being raped/unwanted sexual attention.” Obviously, this is ridiculous because it implies that men can’t be blamed for their sexual urges and women should understand that....
