This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It does fit nicely with Confronting Whiteness at Notre Dame by 1978Irish
I sent an email to the Sori. Society contact saying I thought a less incendiary title would have been better. He said he would pass it on to the professors doing the presentation. I am sure they will ignore it.
You can’t understand history without understanding the context. The murals are beautiful art that depicts 19th century view of Columbus.
People of European decent who are upset about what their ancestors did 400 or 500 years ago should go back to Europe.
We got where we are today by what our ancestors did. Some was good and some was bad. On the whole the US has had a very good effect on the world.
