    the never-ending story

    I know some of you are probably tired of hearing about Katrina and all the debacles that have followed it. You want to get back to the fun-loving old days of Poplicks where we posted about life-sized R. Kelly dolls and see-through skirts (both, oddly, related to Japanese folk but let's not go...

I for one have given up on the fight to end profiling and to change people's views of skin color. As an minority male growing up in NorthWest, I got mistaken a lot for being an immigrant or...

    Racial InJUSTICE

    The Bush administration has punished a Justice Department official who dared to tell even a mild truth about racial profiling by law enforcement officers in this country My first thought when I read the story was that burying the messenger who tells uncomfortable truths has always been a...
