How to suggest news stories to Racialicious

by Carmen Van Kerckhove

As you’ve probably noticed, I publish a post (almost) every day with links to various articles and blog posts on topics related to race, racism and pop culture.

If you’d like to suggest a link, the best way to do it is through del.icio.us.

del.icio.us is a way to bookmark pages and keep your collection of bookmarks online, accessible from anywhere. But it’s also got some great ways to share your bookmarks with others.

If you already have a del.icio.us account, or if you’d consider signing up for one, you can simply tag a story that you want to submit to racialicious with the tag for:racialicious and it’ll show up automatically in my del.icio.us inbox.

The reason this is easier than email is that I actually use del.icio.us to automatically publish these links every morning. I bookmark things as the day goes on, and the following morning, those links I bookmarked get automatically published here as a post. That also means you can find all the articles we’ve ever linked to using this method on Racialicious’s del.icio.us page.

I really appreciate the fact that many of you email me your suggestions, but due to the volume of email I get, these have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Using del.icio.us is definitely the best way to go. Thanks everyone!

I would like to hear from Sewere who blogged in April 2006. He wrote about my film BALANCING ACTS and I’d love to hear where he saw it.

Thanks!

I am a middle-aged white woman who looks very much like a very popular greeting card illustrator. People routinely stop me, hover around me acting weird until I finally say, “I am not who you think I am.” Then they will say, “I can’t remember her name, but you look just like her.” (Okay, so I also look like a million other middle aged white women, what can I say? At my age, it is a delight to be acknowledged.)

So, while it would be easy to personalize this as racist, remember we live in a culture also saturated with CELEBRITY and people get all atwitter if they think they might be meeting someone FAMOUS.

I have been just as goofy being in an elevator with Meredith Baxter Birney, a restaurant with Al Sharpton, a dinner party with …oh gosh, what is that author’s name…oh yeah, Amy Tan. Throw me in close proximity even remotely famous and I act a bit odd.

Moderator’s Note:
Christy, did you mean to post this comment on the entry “Notes from the Road”?

Why do people so easily refer to Mr. Obama “black?”
The man has an African father and a Caucasian mother.
So, how come he is “black?”
And, how come the color or race of the other candidates is not referenced when they come up for discussion?
Am I missing something here?
