At no point does the play ever address the fact that racism primarily hurts people of color.
One of the best examples of "why race relations in the 1950s were so completely different from today" is watching old episodes of "What's My Line?" It was a very mainstream show filmed in cosmopolitan New York with people who considered themselves the best of the best. If you ever asked them if they were racist, they'd deny it whole-heartedly. But, they are continually fooled by articulate black male contestants who have professions such as district attorney, judge, and fighter pilot, because they always forget that, hey, black people can be professionals, too!!
They do the same with female contestants of all colors.
Happy Birthday, askye!
I love Isabella Christensen's hat.
Everyone keeps asking me what I think of the new U. President officially announced yesterday - the only thing I care about is whether or not he will continue the summer Friday tradition.
In the 4th-to-bottom row of hat pics, there's a terrific grey-and-white striped hat that I'd love to wear.
10 minutes left and Switzerland is leading Spain 1-0. Huge upset if the neutral crew holds on.
If Switzerland had cheerleaders, would they look like Swiss Miss?
I love the gentleman's swan hat...clearly he's accustomed to 'swanning about'...except I fear it might be an actual swan...in which case, ew.
The Swiss pulled it off. Huge, huge upset.
'Minotaurs The New Vampires' Says Publishing Executive Desperate To Find New Vampires
NEW YORK—In a desperate effort to find a trendy new fantasy subgenre to succeed the ebbing vampire craze, Razorbill Books executive Graham Childress decided this week to throw all his professional weight behind a new series of novels featuring minotaurs, the bull-headed, human-bodied creatures of ancient Greek mythology. "Everywhere I go, I hear people talking about minotaurs," Childress said at a publishing conference, frantically trying to drum up enthusiasm for the planned trilogy about a bad-boy minotaur who transfers to a new high school and eventually falls for the one girl who can see the pain and sensitivity behind his brooding exterior. "Plus, labyrinths are really hot right now." The first installment of Razorbill's minotaur series is slated to hit shelves on Dec. 14, the same date three rival publishers will release novels featuring a bad-boy mummy, a bad-boy cyclops, and a bad-boy Mayan vision serpent.
The Swiss pulled it off. Huge, huge upset.
Awesome. Good to see that Spain's tradition of not living up to expectations is holding up.
