My favorite four posts (today)
asim's exploration of MLK's radical rhetoric and its relevance to the matters at hand.
pats_quinade's side-splitting Onion News Network rundown (complete with Stargate Atlantis references):: You Can't Spell RaceFail without "I".
sparkymonster's incisive summary RaceFail, Silence and Words demonstrates yet again her deft ability to make the reader think and then sprinkle them with an exquisite link assortment.
miriam_heddy ponders where the tipping point is: if fans of color are disrespected, that may be too bad but a distant issue; when a white fan's privacy is threatened, then it becomes "real."
ETA: For anyone who doesn't understand the weariness many people feel re: these issues of privilege, power, and oppression in fandom,
rydra_wong's two years of link spam on these topics is enlightening.
