1. It isn’t just LakeFair that makes us tick. There were some great things at Pride too.
2. Ken obviously let’s people write without using their real names. This particular post seems to toe the line of acting like a kid in civil discourse. And, reminds us that the entire isthmus planning group is a poorly held public secret.
3. I usually like local blog talking about local things, but one other will do. This time a local blog talks about cultural appropriation.
I should note here that the original poster found it useful to say something to the tune of “most Africans are doing it wrong”. If anyone is doing it “right”, I’d say it’s them. His whole rant was … startling. Now, I am not disparaging this young man at all. He was speaking most vehemently based on the information he had. There is a lot of misinformation out there on the internet and I can’t fault him for falling prey to some of it In fact, I remain strangely unemotional
about the whole exchange. But it did set me to thinking…Should I be angry that someone from a culture other than my own is telling me about my culture in authoritative ways? I am not. I am … simply pondering a world in which this happens so regularly that we can’t even recognise it.
4. Who can just take away a park from members of our community, who just happen to be homeless?
