Column: 'Eating the other': Love in the age of neo-racism

(12/03/03 5:00am)

I am the product of an interracial relationship. A white American woman and a black East African man with half Arab ancestry sat next to each other on a flight from London to Nairobi, and they fell in love. These two people from different worlds and different racial backgrounds have been together for almost 30 years and have produced two hybridized offspring, my sister and myself. Undeniably, growing up tri-racial is difficult in a country where everyone wants to immediately dump you into an objective category from which they can stand back and analyze. But I see my multiracial background as a blessing, and believe that I am a more worldly and learned person than I would have been without my interaction with these three different worlds.


Column: Bush's buddies: A brief profile

(11/12/03 5:00am)

Today's Bush administration is one of the scariest (and richest) groups of government officials ever to sit in the White House. Their individual records are so frighteningly filled with illegalities, corruption and ultra-conservative big business ties that it is difficult to see how much of the American public is simply not aware of their histories. In what follows I will try to give a very brief overview of three of the members of Bush's administration, while stating openly that the damning record on almost the entire administration goes much deeper than the few lines I provide below. I encourage everyone who is interested to do their own research outside the dominant television and newspaper media, and you will be amazed at what you uncover about these individuals.
