What did 2 blacks call a white man? - Master. What did 10 blacks call a white man? - Coach. What did 100 blacks call a white man? - Warden. What do millions of white men and women call a black man? - Mr. President. A step in the right direction.
jesse crouch: Diversity in the USA →
jessecrouch:
I really took the diversity of the United States for granted. That whole “The United States is the melting pot” business they taught us in school means a lot more to me now that I’ve spent 4 months away from it all. I heard it all the time and thought “yeah yeah, I get it”. It’s really incredible…

How could you if you have no medical or any job-related experience as a psychiatrist, psychologist or psychotherapist, which brings along the specific insight and awareness of behavioural patterns. Most of the time having a disastrous personal or work...

Le Blogue: Vreemd bericht in het Parool “EU moet christenen elders beter beschermen”
De Europese Unie moet zorgen dat christenen elders in de wereld beter worden beschermd. Dat vinden de christendemocraten in het Europees Parlement. De Europese Commissie en EU-buitenlandchef Catherine Ashton moeten de bescherming van christelijke minderheden onderdeel maken van het buitenlands...

I could easily have dismissed this article, but I realized that this is exactly why we have to share and defend good journalism from pulp, gossip, slander etc.

That to me is successful. If that were the new American Way we would not be worrying about the 1%.

alittlewater:
They don’t do bows in Holland. Actually, they don’t do pretty gifts period. They wrap em’, tape em’ and write who it’s for ON THE PAPER. Yes, this is a big deal.
