Racial Identity?
Ken Wibecan and Virginia Hood wrote in the Internet bulletin about race:
"Fact: Not one characteristic, trait, or gene distinguishes all members of one so-called race from all members of another so-called race."
"Race, like ethnicity and culture, is a social construct, and visible characteristics of race are unreliable indicators of genetic and ethnic variation. Because people have been described in this way, however, and relegated to these categories (particularly in the USA), race has been and continues to be used, as if it has scientific validity, even by thinking individuals whose education and training should inform them otherwise."
Archie Bunker on Justice
"It's a proven fact that Capital Punishment is a known detergent for crime."
"I didn't insult the Defense Attorney. I just told him what I thought of pinko, bleeding-heart lawyers who get sentimental over killers."
"It's an open and shut case. Two witnesses see this Martinez coming home, one witness sees him go into his apartment, and the rest is simply induction. He finds his old lady in there with another spic, whips out his switchblade --and Zap! --he sends him to the Big Taco Stand in the sky."
Wait a Minute!
Recently, the Oxford University Press said that Christopher Marlowe will be given official co-authorship credit with Shakespeare. At least, with the three historical dramas about Henry VI.
