Sundown Towns Rant: Job Preserves for The Quality?
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
This just hit me: call me an idiot, but trying to explain to someone who grew up in a Sundown Town that this still affects us today was frustrating, partly because he refused to ack the fact that this not only deprived folks like me of another place to stay, but also, more pertinently to his ability to get a bank teller job while in high school, his ability to stay overnight in that town meant that he alone, and other white people alone, could work that evening shift in the bank to finish high school. Forget the other factors involved, and there are many, the mere fact of living there and shutting out an entire and larger class of people from being there after dark meant that only whites would have those jobs. Makes it a lot easier when you have so much less competition, huh?

Say WHAT???
If you have lived your life believing that you are, by definition of your gender and skin colour, one of the superior beings on earth, I imagine it’s rather difficult to accept reality when it hits you in the face. White males have dominated much of our political and societal ‘norms’ since the beginning of this nation. Until the year 2008 when we elected Barack Obama, a Black man, to be our president, every president had been white. And male. We have yet to elect a woman to the highest office in the land, and in fact relatively few women hold seats in Congress. And yet … a portion of those white males are now claiming that they are “victims of racism.” SERIOUSLY???
Women fought long and hard just to get the right to vote … it took them until August 1920! Men generally did not want women to vote…

A Swift One To Get You Going
Power is no blessing in itself, except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Jonathan Swift
I’ve decided to referee
My children like competing football teams
I may be offside but I stand by
The penalties
And free kicks
The benefit of having no class
Is that if you bother me
I’ll put this boot
Right up your arse
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kickedKick INXS
The letter K was designed
With kicking in mind
I call you names
Insult your family
and your cooking too
That’s how I
Get a kick out of you
Know your mark
Initiate contact
Clear the ground
Karma does the rest
I Have a break
Have a Kick Kat(Think about it
It makes more)
A kangaroo will balance on its tail
Knowing it is liable to fall
Just to inflict as much pain as possible

“Where Shall I Flee?” by: Anne Clare
“Where Shall I Flee?” by: Anne Clare
“Where Shall I Flee?” by: Anne Clare
One does not need to be a WWII buff or a lover of historical fiction to enjoy this accomplishment. I recommend it to ALL!
Being as I normally read and report non-fiction, I was very impressed with Anne Clare’s realistic characterization and portrayal of WWII in Italy. By showing the characters had their own faults and by not romanticizing war, she uses perpetual advancement to draw the reader ever further into their lives.
Anne Clare is an avid history reader/researcher who asks, “What if?” The end result is a suspenseful story that brings you into the sphere of action in Anzio and beyond, plus their own personal conflicts.
A nurse who isn’t quite sure why she’s there, to the soldiers of different backgrounds and how they connect – from combat, to…
