sabotabbyIt's International Blog Against Racism Week.
According to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coffeeandink, the instructions are:
1. Announce the week in your blog.
Check. A day late, but I didn't know.
2. Switch your default icon to either an official IBAR icon, or one which you feel is appropriate. To get an official IBAR icon, you may modify one of yours yourself or ask someone to do so, or ask oyceter to do so as she has agreed to be the Official Iconmaker of the Revolution, or hop over to her LJ and pick up one of the general-use ones she's put up.
I'm at my icon limit, but I'm going to take any excuse to use this icon.
3. Post about race and/or racism: in media, in life, in the news, personal experiences, writing characters of a race that isn't yours, portrayals of race in fiction, review a book on the subject, etc.
More to come on that, but in the meantime, let's go back to Zidane for a second. Bitch Ph.D. argues:
Go forth and read. And I'll aim for some original content soon.

...I think that the headbutt becomes, not a mark of flouting the rules and a professional failing, but instead an act of individual pride and a statement that one's humanity and pride are more important than one's job. It's not shameful; on the contrary, swallowing whatever it was Materazzi said in order to score for the French team--given that his dedication to the game, and to France, at this point in his career, is beyond the shadow of a doubt--would have been disgraceful.And then, joy of joys, links to this post that brings Spike Lee and Fanon into it.
Go forth and read. And I'll aim for some original content soon.
