		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, I posted this reflection on Columbus Day. I was prompted to the reflection in part by an ongoing tiff with the very idea of Columbus Day, the idea that we mark such a terrifying event in world history with a day of leisure. I was prompted just as much (or more) by a New York Times article on laying claim to the Columbus name...what it means to be a long descended relative, etc. On this Columbus Day, I wanted to revisit the holiday and a particular video that's making the viral rounds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. And it goes to Barack Obama, which has now set off an avalanche of grousing and complaining and sarcasm from the right and left. At least we won&#8217;t have to talk about the Olympics not being in Chicago any longer. It is always noteworthy when the right and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other, albeit secondary story that needs to be told is the story of how so many Americans took self-righteous pleasure in what would become another man's extreme suffering. Building our catharsis on another man's risk of body and life. In that way, how so many Americans repeated the very use of brown, foreign bodies in order to feel better about their world - the very thing of which G.W. Bush and his administration have been (rightly) accused after invading Afghanistan and Iraq after 11 September 2001.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mass-media - in images, video, and word - creates traveling spectacles and thus creates spectators in so many new ways and contexts. We consume the spectacle casually on our computers and television. Fascination with Semenya's genitals is all the story today, and surely will be for the next coming days. The assumption is that we have rights to this gaze, to look inside (prompting notions of biopower, no doubt) and outside her body (recalling Baartman's case). Why this comfortable assumption? Simply because we are, maybe, sports fans (though so few are actual track and field fans...not unimportant here!). Or because we can.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But I'd ask you to consider this: what if Annie Leibovitz was black? Well, we don't have to imagine. There are plenty of cases of rich black people in the public eye, who get famous and rich and then go broke. We laugh at them. We sneer at them and talk about how stupid they were to blow millions and not plan well. They end up on VH-1. First, in Behind the Music. Second, on some degrading reality show.]]></description>

Or even just saw bowling on television at a time other than 3pm on a Sunday? Turns out, this might be an important signifier in electoral rhetoric. [...]]]></description>

I doubt many people are, save for the occasional Karl Rove, for whom it is a fabulous tactic &#8211; if you&#8217;re creative. I must admit to being surprised, though, to see the issue of reparations come up. It&#8217;s a nuanced and [...]]]></description>
