Spokesman-Recorder Readers Chime in On Homosexuality

SwirlSpice  Jun 30 08

The Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder is "the oldest minority owned business in the state of Minnnesota. It is a newspaper committed to meeting the news and information needs of African Americans."

I clicked over to their site a few weeks back...

I wish to god they would get some RSS feeds going.

...to read Charles Hallman's preview of the Lynx season. Charles is one of the best Lynx reporters in town.

The other one is Stephen Litel at the Downtown Journal.

So I was actually visiting their site, and I noticed they had a "blog" section. I clicked over to that and was disappointed to find there's nothing there actually resembling a blog, but they did use the space to ask their readers, "Is homosexuality wrong?"

I'd have been horribly disappointed in the responses if I werent completely unsurprised. Full story...

I'm by no means a hardcore biker.

I'll admit, I've gotten awfully smug about biking, considering I only bike to work once or twice a week (four miles each way), occasionally to run errands, and have only been doing this for about 7 weeks, which does not include any particularly adverse weather.

Any feminist woman of color (and probably a lot of white feminists) can tell you that the feminist and the anti-racist movements have had trouble playing nice, and this juicy Barack Obama vs Hillary Clinton race has brought things to a head in a very publicly visible way.
