Just started wearingthefuture.com and have a civil liberties blog I never wanted to start: www.sixhoursaweek.com.
My SU blog is very slanted right now towards S 1959, the "Homegrown Terrorism" Bill... Environmental and Civil Liberties/Human Rights issues dominate my life. As does delicious food. And my cat. Any minute now I will have an MA in Cultural Studies, for which I've focused on post-environmentalism/white identity in the U.S. environmental movement.

In 2004, however, he made headlines when, during an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case, he lambasted what he saw as the black community's failure to address a number of simmering issues such as poverty, crime and education.
Among the comments he made was, "These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids -- $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for 'Hooked on Phonics.' ... They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English."
The statements received a mixed reception from black leaders, some praising him for bringing to light an uncomfortable discussion, others dismissing him as an elitist.
"He should pick on someone in his own class," author and Georgetown University sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson was quoted as saying in a 2005 New York Times article. "If he had come out swinging at Condi Rice or Colin Powell, they could defend themselves. But he's beating up on poor black people, the most vulnerable people in this nation. And why jump on them?""
