dreamer_easy... which reminds me. I was trying to work out whether I should close ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seeingred and instead post the anti-racist stuff here. That would mean a bigger audience, but might lose the people who are only interested in seeingred, and makes indexing a bitch - one of the advantages of those side journals is you can get way specific with the tags.
Anywho, I think the solution is to keepseeingred, but start to post pointers here to content all of my various "workbooks" which might be of more general interest. (I want to concentrate more on original content and less on just reposting links, too.)
In the meantime, here are a few postings fromseeingred which may be of interest (beware of SPOILERS large and small):
The future (and it works) - racial integration as a marker for the future / the present day in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Lisa and Beth in Torchwood.
Who lives and who dies? - a whole bunch of postings trying to work out if new Who falls into the movie cliche of the disposable Black male character, including a list of the entire supporting cast. (An unexpected finding was that there are far more Black than Desi characters, although in Britain's population, it's the other way around.)
Employment discrimination against Black Americans - the hard evidence.
Edumacation! A couple of postings inspired by Black feminist Patricia Hill Collins. Plus! bell hooks! Whom you must read! Plus from a UK perspective, Black Looks and Racism and the Mass Media and Representing Black Britain.
Martha and other Black Britons in The Shakespeare Code
How diverse is your neighbourhood?
How Captain America taught me about anti-semitism.
(And no, this isn't an audition for my ghetto pass; I don't want one. I did go through an embarrassing phase of crawling to Mammy for a cookie, but that was eight months ago and I'm over it.)
