Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
Guest Post on Fox News Latino Recently, there’s been a lot of debate about race since it was discovered that the 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, is not white but Hispanic…or so his family claims. Last week, Robert Zimmerman released his response to the increasingly racial climate surrounding [...]
Who is Martin Luther King Jr. ? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., not to be confused with the 15th century German priest Martin Luther, is an internationally recognized civil rights leader and preacher who promoted non-violent activism against racial discrimination and injustice. He was born on January 15th, 1929, raised in the south and the son of [...]
Photography by Lucy Schaeffer {cover, stuffed pork chops p 137} Welcome to day one of my blog anniversary party! Happy Monday! :) Today, I wanted to share with you an awesome cookbook that I received recently and love! My husband and I are huge fans of Aaron McCargo Jr., one of the few cooks that we [...]
Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center Recently, I had the opportunity to attend Blogalicious (thanks to a few very generous sponsors!) and meet up with my fellow bloggers IRL (in real life). It was a long journey, but well worth the trip and I’m definitely planning a repeat for next year! First off, [...]
[Image Credit: CNN.com] Ok, there’s been quite a buzz lately about the new Spider-man and some are excited, but many are wondering, why didn’t Marvel just create a new Black super hero or a Latino super hero, and why mixed? Why Spider-man? For me, it’s pretty obvious, and it’s not all about marketing, although I’m sure that factored [...]
James Craig Anderson Race is real, a real cause of death, a real reason for hate. It’s something we seem to be able to ignore and yet, it manages to divide us. If we deny that race played a part in this man’s death, we deny the truth, we disregard our guilt and the [...]
I remember the fleeing Bronco, the case heard round the world, and when Casey Anthony first came into question about her little girl’s disappearance, the first thing I thought was, “Here we go again…my god, we’re not going to find this little girl”. I’m shocked by this verdict and I know much of the [...]
Well, by now, most of us have seen this crazy TwitPic that made us all do a double-take. What!? Is McDonald’s really telling it’s employees to charge customers additional fees for being black!? Something about this image just seemed a little strange though, and while it could very well have been authentic (yes, corporations [...]
For some time now, I’ve been wanting to start a series called “Wait, How’s That Racist?” With all the ads popping up online and some of the crazy attacks aimed at our president and other public figures, I feel it’s something that we can’t help but talk about. I guess I also feel a [...]
Well, our president was forced to release his birth certificate yesterday in order to prove that he is, in fact, an American citizen. I say “forced” because all the whining and attacks from some noisy, less than democratic Americans, has finally managed to push him to reveal something that he shouldn’t have been [...]
A lot of people are talking about Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s PBS series, “Black in Latin America” and it’s portrayal of Dominicans.
