The American Dream simply does not exist for the majority of black men.

The Progressive Wing Posted on March 19, 2018 by Subir GrewalMarch 19, 2018

Researchers at Stanford, Harvard and the Census bureau have recently published a study that takes a broad look at equality of opportunity in the US. The data set they analyzed is enormous. It tracks 20 million people now in their late thirties, evaluating their childhood circumstances across race, class, family structure, neighborhood, school, etc. They evaluate where these individuals ended up, in terms of income, and several other factors (including whether or not they were incarcerated). The results simply eviscerate any argument that there’s a level playing field and equality of opportunity. Across a wide range of factors, it’s clear … Continue reading →

100th Anniversary of the Silent Parade.

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 28, 2017 by Subir GrewalJuly 28, 2017

That large banner has the famous line from the American Declaration of Independence, followed by “If of African descent tear off this corner”. TomP had a diary last month on the 100th anniversary of the East St. Louis massacre that described the events and their causes in detail. Today is the 100th anniversary of the Silent Parade in New York City, organized to protest that massacre which claimed the lives of 100-200, the vast majority of them black people. Google changed it’s doodle today to commemorate the protest. They are also highlighting a documentary project from the Equal Justice Initiative called Lynching in … Continue reading →

Trump’s publisher and alt-right funder wants to create a whites-only USA by ethnic cleansing.

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 23, 2017 by Subir GrewalJuly 23, 2017

By now, most of us are well aware of how the Koch brothers have run a multi-decade effort to fund right-wing economic orthodoxy by financing think-tanks, journalists, periodicals, colleges and professors. There’s often an element of racism at these institutions, but they aren’t explicitly focused on race. That’s an implicit acknowledgement that the broader US post civil rights-era integration has a limited appetite for outright racism. It turns out there’s a counterpart to the Kochs, who has funded white supremacist organizations and rabble-rousers for decades. He Spent Almost 20 Years Funding The Racist Right. It Finally Paid Off. How did explicit racism move … Continue reading →

SCOTUS Rulings on Affirmative Action & Immigration: A Victory & A Loss

The Progressive Wing Posted on June 23, 2016 by Bern_So_GoodJune 23, 2016

Two major rulings, one on Affirmative Action and the other on Immigration, are just out this morning from the Supreme Court of the United States. The Affirmative Action case ruling upholds the program at the University of Texas in a 4-3 decision. The case originated out of a lower Texas court and was brought by a white student, Abigal Fisher, who claimed she had been discriminated against for being white. Affirmative Action supporters were nervous the case could set back progress by decades if SCOTUS did not rule in favor of upholding the program.  Justice Scalia, an opponent of Affirmative … Continue reading →

“I am the disturbance in the sea of your complacency.” ~ Muhammad Ali

The Progressive Wing Posted on June 10, 2016 by Bern_So_GoodJune 10, 2016

Muhammad Ali was celebrated and memorialized today by family and friends. Two of the most moving eulogies of the exquisite service were delivered by Natasha Mundkur and Rabbi Michael Lerner. The 19-year-old UofL sophomore said she was bullied when she was younger, called a terrorist, told to go back to her own country. She said it was Muhammad Ali who helped her find her voice. “The confidence he had was the confidence I lacked, and the confidence that I looked up to,” Mundkur said. Some know him as a fighter, others, a humanitarian. But most just call him the Greatest. As for … Continue reading →
