Scene from a lynching
-
Omaha, Nebraska, 1919. (Warning: extremely graphic violence is depicted here.)The people in this picture had children, and they in turn had children, most of whom are probably alive today. Where is the conclusive and overwhelming evidence that these people are truly different than their forebears?

Lynchings and Liberation
(World African Network)

Time has reminded us that lynchings and domestic terrorism have not disappeared. The people who committed hate crimes against our ancestors did not leave or evolve. They, instead, had children.Note to self: stay vigilant ... some things can take many forms.

Snapshot: African American Leisure Activities
(Marketsegment.com)
-
Tidbit One: African Americans are more involved in many leisure activities than non-African Americans. In fact, African Americans are more likely than non-African Americans to watch TV, listen to the radio, read newspapers and magazines, read for pleasure, go shopping, go to museums, concerts and theater, take pleasure trips, cook for pleasure, go to parties, go to the beach and attend sporting events. The most leisure-seeking African American market of all? Los Angeles.
Tidbit Two: Seeking to position their brands as "cool," marketers are increasingly relying upon hip African American celebrities. Look for more and more up-and-coming icons rather than the established names. Another trend: reliance on comedians and entertainers in addition to the traditionally featured athletes.
Sounds like a recipe for economic exploitation ... natch! Black people, you are the ultimate consumers and the perfect pitchmen.
(Those two tidbits are from a private newsletter BoyCaught receives weekly. Re-publishing it is not cool, but some of the information in that newsletter just begs to be shared with you, the few kind readers of [cIb]. Information wants to be free. Stay tuned.)

Middle Passage Monument Project
-
Between the late 1600s and 1796, approximately five acres of land outside the walls of the Colonial City of New York were designated as the burial ground for the city's African population, then about 15% of the city's total population. (In Colonial New York City, not even the Christian-converted Africans were allowed to be buried in church cemeteries). It is estimated that 10,000-20,000 Africans were buried in the cemetery during its 100 years of active use. In the early 1800s, the African cemetery was land-filled and built-over by Dutch-Americans, their cisterns and privies being dug through the graves. And during the urban developments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, human skeletons were periodically unearthed with little apparent concern for sanctity. Eventually, the African burial ground faded from memory.

The Underground Railroad
(nationalgeographic.com)
-
You are a slave. Your body, your time, your very breath belong to a farmer in 1850s Maryland. Six long days a week you tend his fields and make him rich. You have never tasted freedom. You never expect to. And yet . . . your soul lights up when you hear whispers of attempted escape. Freedom means a hard, dangerous trek. Do you try it?BoyCaught found this to be a very well-done, highly interactive resource, maybe a little bandwidth-intensive though. It paints a vivid picture of the harrowing yet triumphant experience of risking life in pursuit of freedom. On the other hand, it makes one wonder: are we not free, yet? (More on this, later.)

Resolving the consultant clash
(RedHerring.com)
-
Then there's the catch-22: clients have unrealistic expectations, which consultants are afraid to check for fear of losing the clients ... It's the tale of the unfortunate mating of a start-up company with a relatively young e-consultant, and how lack of communication, high turnover, and, quite simply, bad blood, turned what should have been a simple, seven-week task into a seven-month odyssey that made both sides lose money -- and accuse each other of misstating the truth.Liar, liar ... This is a great article that explains why so many of BoyCaught's friends and peers are now looking for new gigs. These are some of the same people who laughed and told BoyCaught he worked for an "old old school" consultancy. We've never been sued by our clients. So, laugh while you can, monkeyboys.

This Dismissal (#10)
(Sinking.org)
-
while i don't particularly notice that television is overwhelmingly white, i do notice that it's overwhelmingly black & white. where is an asian who isn't the token immigrant running the corner store? my fuck, where are the brown people? why is race turned into black vs. white? where are the shades of grey (yellow brown red)?All BoyCaught can say is be careful what you wish for. Black people complain about lack of representation on TV and all we continue to see are your Martins, Parkers, and Cedric the Entertainers.
While a lot of it is entertaining on a surface level, and BoyCaught admits to watching some on the regular ReplayTV rotation, they're all just updated versions of the same old toms, coons, mulattoes, mammies, and bucks that have been seen for hundreds of years. After all, they were doing blackface minstrel shows back in the 1800s. And who didn't love that l'il old Stepin' Fetchit? Oh well, it's just to say that there's a long-standing history behind this black/white entertainment thing, and this sad phenemenon, this panoply of mannered derision, this entire costume drama is carefully documented and profiled in Donald Bogle's classic book, titled, interestingly enough: Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks.
Oh, and another theory on why everything on the boob tube seems to get boiled down to black people and white people: in America, other so-called minority groups assimilate into the dominant culture much easier, so much so that perhaps the current power brokers in TV-land hardly notice a difference between themselves and those others. The black/white issue seems to envelop the entire question of harmony between races, apparently rendering discussion of the finer forms of miscegenational conflict moot, at least on TV. Black vs White is the Porsche of interracial conflicts: there are no substitutes. (b/w allaboutgeorge)

Check your Rep

Los Angeles-based Repcheck Inc. is first to market with an online tool for assessing and quantifying personal reputation. While there are companies that rate the risk vs. benefit of involvement with companies, Repcheck is the only product that attempts to provide such information about individualsWhile this sounds interesting as a business prospect -- for instance, wouldn't it be nice to look up the reputation of that auto mechanic -- it's more than very creepy that some fools are going to be going around collecting questionable data about folks, and then selling it. Credit reporting is one thing, this is Big Brother to the max.

Supertracks
-
BridgePort 1.0 is a media delivery system that features a desktop Internet radio application that enables listeners to play CD-quality music-including the hottest contemporary music-directly from the PC. Listeners can select multiple channels with their favorite music always on tap, and blend channels to create a personalized mix. At the heart of BridgePort is a powerhouse rules engine that manages music in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This engine not only dynamically manages song playlists in accordance with DMCA rules, but also enables meticulous tracking of all songs and advertising played.Yeah, this is just what BoyCaught wants: a digitized lawyer, installed on the local hard-drive, recording and reporting back to the home office. They say this technology will only track music played via the system, but who are they kidding, once it's on your box, who knows what else they're doing with your data, after all everything is encrypted and it's a safe bet you won't be getting a key. Maybe it's time to just make your own music.

'The Web' is a poor metaphor
-
From "Songlines of the Noosphere": Lacking understanding of their fundamental implications for society, it is worth remembering that automobiles were first referred to as "horseless carriages" -- and "wireless" was long used for radio. In a study by Stephen Talbott, the question is raised: "Will the 'information highway' really bring us closer together, or will it perform the same function as asphalt highways, encouraging us to seek the promise of better things in the distance?

Lopez Denies Her Body's Insured for $1 Billion

NASCAR: Speed or safety?
(ESPN/The Pulse)
-
But there is nothing in the silly world of athletic competition that is worth a single life. Nothing. And I'd rather watch an entire sport disappear than one more athlete. The shallow, hollow cliche that these men died doing something they loved just won't cut it anymore.BoyCaught is not a NASCAR fan, but as a sports fan and a human being, he finds Earnhardt's passing sad and tragic. Is it worth having a sport where the spectre of death looms everytime people compete. Serious injury is a risk in most sports, but death?

It wasn't until 1990, while sorting through my photographs, that I realized I was amassing quite a few of these "bathroom mirror" photographs and organized them into one album.BoyCaught was playing with the Canon S-10 and Photoshop today, and would have sent this shot into FOJM, but decided against it. If this weblog is about anything, then essence of being [caught In between] is ambivalence. FOJM is cool, though.

Lawrence: Meaning of the Name
-
Your name of Lawrence gives you a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature. You could be very expressive and creative in the arts, music, or drama. However, there is a lack of practicality and business judgment which could limit your success. You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand, and you can be deeply influenced through the thoughts and feelings of others without realizing just how you are being affected. Others are inclined to take advantage of your generosity and friendliness and then, when there is a lack of reciprocation, you can feel very despondent and disillusioned. Moods are a problem as you can be highly inspired one minute, and the next become quite irritated and annoyed over some ill-timed remark or lack of consideration on the part of someone close to you. You could suffer through nervous breakdowns, as well as disturbed thoughts, poor memory, or disorders in the fluid functions.

Thin Ice
(The Atlantic Online)
-
Suppose we told white male students who were strong in math that a difficult math test they were about to take was one on which Asians generally did better than whites ... this comment would put them under a form of stereotype threat: any faltering on the test could cause them to be seen negatively from the standpoint of the positive stereotype about Asians and math ability. If stereotype threat alone -- in the absence of any internalized self-doubt -- was capable of disrupting test performance, then white males taking the test after this comment should perform less well than white males taking the test without hearing the comment. That is just what happened.BoyCaught takes this as a grain of truth that stereotypes can hurt. In American society, there are nothing but negative stereotypes about Black people, and guess who has a vested interest in maintaining those negative images?

Firstly, being the only African American in our group and one of only a few in the city, I was, needless to say, the center of much attention. I hated this situation at first. I tried to avoid going outside as much as I could just to get away from the stares.Think it's tough being a Black man in Amerikkka? Imagine being one in China? For the record, the author of this piece is BoyCaught's off-line, real-life little brother. (And if you can't give props to your people on your own weblog, where the hell can you?)

Faces of Science
-
African American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling the history of science. By describing the scientific history of selected African American men and women we can see how the efforts of individuals have advanced human understanding in the world around us.

The Drug War Industrial Complex
(Bad News: Chomsky Archive/supplement)
-
Chomsky: "It's state industry, publicly funded. It's the construction industry, the real estate industry, and also high tech firms. It's gotten to a sufficient scale that high-technology and military contractors are looking to it as a market for techniques of high-tech control and surveillance, so you can monitor what people do in their private activities with complicated electronic devices and supercomputers: monitoring their telephone calls and urinalyses and so forth. In fact, the time will probably come when this superfluous population can be locked up in private apartments, not jails, and just monitored to track when they do something wrong, say the wrong thing, go the wrong direction." House arrest for the masses.(b/w randomWalks)

Why We Need Black History Month
-
"I have always believed what African American historian John Henrik Clarke said a long time ago that, to control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you."Running blind?

Brave new world?
(MSNBC)
-
Dr. Panos Zavos hopes that his team of scientists will be the first to clone a human being ... in the animal experiments, gross abnormalities and early deaths have been common. In the case of Dolly, the cloned sheep, it took 277 tries, and some of the clones before her successful birth were horribly malformed.So what happens, when the doctors inevitably goof up, and clone a human being with two heads and four arms? How will that be handled? When does life begin?

Computers make young people forgetful
(The Sunday Times UK)
-
Many experts believe information overload is making it difficult for some people to absorb new information, as they have reached a limit of what they can store in their brains. These people forget things because they were too distracted to absorb them in the first place.What was that last part, again?

Dungy speaks out on NFL hiring process
(CNNSI.com/Inside Game)
-
"It's difficult to take from my perspective as a minority coach in the NFL, that the Ravens could put together that kind of year, and everyone around the league roundly assume that Marvin Lewis is in great shape to get a job, and then nothing. And that only one team talked to him, that's just hard to swallow."

BMG to introduce Napster subscription fees
(Independent UK)
-
The technology is there to allow incremental fees rather than aggregated ones. If we lose the right to individual accounting, we'll get screwed again." Mr (Peter) Gabriel claimed that content providers had yet to be adequately consulted. He urged the creation of a new regulator to protect the interests of artists, which he half jokingly suggested should be called "the Magnificent Union of Digitally Downloaded Artists", or Mudda for short.

Super Bowl crowd scanned by crook-sniffing computer
(ESPN)
-
Thousands of Super Bowl fans were subjected to a "computerized police lineup" at America's biggest sporting event last weekend as police used cutting-edge technology to scan the crowd for pickpockets and terrorists, civil libertarians said on Thursday.But the only people who can afford Super Bowl tickets these days, besides the players' friends and family, who get comped, are corporate muckety-mucks. BoyCaught figures there surely are no criminuls up in that group, eh?
