Tom Shelley

My blog’s name is sort of “The Black And The Green,” which is a reference to past and present solidarity between Black Americans (and Americans of color in general) and Irish people living under British rule in Ireland (at the time the solidarity takes place). See the post in January of 2009 and “Black and Green” in the label cloud.

"They’d be killed if they were black"

There's an important article on the Salon web-site titled: "They’d be killed if they were black: The racial double standard at the heart of the new Bundy family standoff." It's here.

It's about the militia/Patriot take-over of a federal building in Oregon.
