Good morning!

Race and Beyond: It’s Time to Go ‘All In’

Jonadad Luque reads to his daughter, Jarlin, 5, in their home in Nashville, Tennessee.

By Sam Fulwood III | July 30, 2013

Last week my Progress 2050 colleagues and I high-fived, hugged, and cheered among ourselves upon the release of our new book, All-In Nation. We were justifiably proud because the book, a joint project between the Center for American Progress and PolicyLink, represents tangible evidence of a hopeful vision of our nation—a nation that values the contributions of a diverse group of people who share common ideals.

A book is the greater sum of its component stories, characters, and plotlines. Like life itself, a book is the imperfect product of collaboration and compromise. Nobody writes or publishes a book under their singular power or in isolation from the team of contributors, and the stories contained in a book live on, well after the writers, photographers, editors, and others who gave it life have faded from memory.

Similarly, think of our country as a book, one that is being written by everyone who lives in this country. Each of us goes about life in unique ways, but being American connects us in ways that we often ignore and take for granted. Most of us are immigrants to this land, either by choice or by force, with a common desire to make a better future for our children and ourselves. We are all individuals, yet the pages and chapters of our shared experiences as Americans bind us to one another.

Still, not every American’s story is hopeful. Vast inequalities threaten to rip asunder the fabric of our national identity. As PolicyLink Founder and CEO Angela Glover Blackwell and CAP President Neera Tanden write in the preface to All-In Nation:

Yet too many people of color are being left out and left behind. Longstanding inequities have resulted in significant gaps in education, employment, health, and wealth among the fastest-growing population groups—the very communities the nation depends on to provide the workforce, innovators, entrepreneurs, and business leaders of tomorrow. For instance, from 2007 to 2010 black family wealth fell 31 percent, while Hispanic family wealth fell 44 percent. By contrast, white families only lost
 11 percent of their wealth over this period. These disproportionate drops exacerbated pre-existing disparities. Whereas before the recession, nonwhite families were a quarter as wealthy as white families, by 2010 they were only one-sixth as wealthy. Closing these gaps, improving the life chances for all to reach their full potential, is good for both those lagging behind and for the entire nation.

At some point in the next generation, maybe even sooner, demographic forces already let loose in our country will literally transform the face of our nation, as our population becomes a richer and thicker mélange of races, ethnicities, and identities. By 2043 the United States will no longer have a single racial majority among its varied peoples, according to the Census Bureau. Nothing can forestall this inevitable and irreversible course.

Less clear, however, are the critical choices that we must make as we confront this oncoming trend. The options are stark. We can blithely ignore the reality, pretending nothing has changed, and allow our ignorance to guide how Americans will live, work, and struggle against themselves, trying vainly and at great expense to preserve a way of living that no longer coexists with modern-day realities. Or we can embrace change and make the emerging interplay of people and perspectives a welcomed advantage. Indeed, that’s the story of an America that created itself and refreshed its vitality with immigrants and a melting-pot culture. That history presents itself once again and is the idea behind All-In Nation.

Demographic change is not by definition a negative experience. It won’t be, if we choose not to make it so. In one of the book’s essays, Lawrence Summers makes clear that our polarized politics undermine a shared commitment to allow every future American the opportunity to succeed. He writes:

Inequality has widened and the middle class has withered, parents’ earnings and educational attainment increasingly dictate their children’s life prospects, placing children from less privileged backgrounds at an enormous disadvantage.

But such a dire national fate is a choice—one that is not preordained and does not have to continue. We have the opportunity to write the coming chapters of the American story with a hopeful and promising plot. As our nation becomes increasingly multicultural, our emerging heroes must be a reflection of the characters who want to change the nation for the better, not return us to a past that actually never existed.

The case at the heart of All-In Nation is that the United States becomes stronger socially and economically when we put all of our people’s interests at the forefront of our national agenda. Diversity is an asset, and the changing demography of our nation is an opportunity to make our union stronger. This is an optimistic vision of our nation—a storyline that must prevail and include all of our peoples.

Sam Fulwood III is a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and Director of the CAP Leadership Institute. His work with the Center’s Progress 2050 project examines the impact of policies on the nation when there will be no clear racial or ethnic majority by the year 2050.

Good morning!

This is awesome. I dislike mosquitos – who doesn’t? And although the little critters don’t affect my personal life in a big way, for many it does – every minute a child dies of malaria. Now there is a solution. It is a nontoxic little patch call “Kite” and when it is applied to your clothing, it makes the wearer invisible to mosquitos and will repel mosquitos for up to 48 hours.

Here’s something from the latest media coverage:

August 6th, 2013
By Robin Wilkey, Huffington Post

When it comes to dealing with mosquitos, one generally has two options: drench yourself in potentially harmful(and often ineffective) repellant or suck it up.

But California-based start-up Olfactor Laboratories has developed a sticker that the company claims can make wearers virtually invisible to mosquitos.

Dubbed the Kite Patch, the sticker reportedly uses nontoxic materials to block mosquitos from detecting the carbon dioxide omitted in our breath –- the means by which the bugs usually track us.

Read entire article…

I can only imagine how many lives this little patch is going to save. Kudos to the Kite team who have put so much time, effort, and dedication into this life saving product.

Check this out:

Readers: To date, Kite has raised 100% of their first goal in 4 days. If you want to learn more about how you can support Kite or learn the facts, click here. I also perused the “Frequently Asked Questions” page (Under the heading “Supporters”), where if you have any questions about this product, it will be answered there.

Pretty cool huh? Thoughts? Blog me. 

Happy Saturday! Thanks so much for being here with me.

Good morning!

Prism Princess: Thank you for posting these articles. This is just simply horrific. I HOPE that something can and will be done soon. I decided to post one of the articles for today’s write because it is such an important topic. Should this information “disappear” from the internet, at least it can still be found here. Thanks for doing the homework. I appreciate you making time in your busy day. I HOPE you are doing good.

You won’t find this on mainstream media:

Fukushima leaking radioactive water for ‘2 years, 300 tons flowing into Pacific daily’

The rate at which contaminated water has been pouring into the Pacific Ocean from the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant is worse than thought before, an Industry Ministry official said as PM Shinzo Abe pledged to step up efforts to halt the crisis.

“We think that the volume of water is about 300 tons a day,” said Yushi Yoneyama, an official with the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, which regulates Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO).

Abe put the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry in charge of the situation, while demanding that the plant’s operator, TEPCO take the necessary steps to deal with the cleanup, which is anticipated to take more than 40 years at a cost of US$11 billion.

On Wednesday TEPCO confirmed the leak but refused to confirm the quantity being emitted from the plant. 

“We are not currently able to say clearly how much groundwater is actually flowing into the ocean,” Tokyo Electric Power spokesman Noriyuki Imaizumi told Reuters when asked for an estimate.

Japanese authorities are working in crisis mode, attempting to assure the public both at home and abroad that the situation will not further deteriorate into a widespread environmental catastrophe.

Yoneyama said the government plans to reduce the leakage amount to 60 tons per day by as early as December, but given the Japanese government’s progress in the cleanup to date that goal may be difficult to achieve. Removing 300 tonnes of groundwater, however, would not necessarily halt leakage into the sea, he said.

The nuclear plant was severely damaged in an earthquake and subsequent tsunami in March 2011. About 90,000 people within a 20km radius of the plant were forced to evacuate their homes due to the possibility of a full-scale nuclear meltdown.

Nearing boiling point?

Earlier, TEPCO said it detected 2.35 billion becquerels of cesium per liter in water that is now leaking into the groundwater through cracks in the plant’s drainage system. This radiation level is roughly the same as that measured in April 2011.

The normal level is 150 becquerels of cesium per liter of water.

For the past two years, TEPCO has claimed that it managed to siphon off the excess water into specially-constructed storage tanks. However, the company was forced to admit late last month that radioactive water was still escaping into the Pacific Ocean. These consistent failures are testing the patience of Japanese authorities.

“You can’t just leave it [disposing of radioactive waste at the plant] up to TEPCO,” Shinji Kinjo, head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) told Reuters. “Right now, we have an emergency.”

Earlier this month, TEPCO was forced to go on the defensive after a scathing first-page article appeared in The Asahi Shimbun daily criticizing the company’s cleanup efforts.

“TEPCO did nothing for more than two years despite having pledged to seal a leaking hole between a turbine building [the leakage source] and an underground pit [a trench] in April 2011 when water contaminated with radioactive materials…was found to have leaked into the ocean; and the company only began preparing for shielding tests this summer after contaminated water was found to be leaking into the sea this time,” the newspaper stated on August 1, 2013.

TEPCO fired back with its own version of events, saying that despite “technical difficulties and a severe work environment” the company has been working to implement a plan “in order to further reduce the risk of having outflow of contaminated water beyond the trench.”

Although TEPCO engineers have constructed a barrier between the destroyed facility and the ocean, it only extends 1.8 meters below the ground, thus water continues to accumulate inside the plant vaults.

“If you build a wall, of course the water is going to accumulate there. And there is no other way for the water to go but up or sideways and eventually lead to the ocean,” Masashi Goto, a nuclear engineer who has worked at several TEPCO plants, told Reuters. “So now, the question is how long do we have?“

TEPCO has pledged to begin pumping enough radioactive seepage to stop the water level from rising. But the company faces limitations, as its storage tanks are 85 percent full.

“New measures are needed to stop the water from flowing into the sea,” emphasized Kinjo, who accused TEPCO of failing to implement long-term solutions for a crisis that has been continuing for more than two years.

Not only is TEPCO running up against technical problems associated with the cleanup efforts, it must also deal with the unpredictable force of nature, specifically in the form of earthquakes.

On Sunday, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Miyagi prefecture, the same northeastern region of the island country that was devastated by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in 15,000 people killed and more than 3,200 missing.

No damage or injuries were reported in the latest earthquake, but some roads and railways were temporarily closed for safety inspections.

Good morning!

11y7/^2, Prism Princess: Simply sickening. I am with you both. There is much ado about something, and something should be done. I HOPE that the colonies are able to protect themselves from the toxic dumping until something is done.  PrP, I don’t doubt what you say, and I too would like to know where you got your info. It would be good to post here. Can you please post something if possible? Thank you.

Viv: Nice to see you here. And nice to know you and the Emperor are doing something. Thank you. This is disastrous not only for the Princess but the colonies, and of course the humans that are creating this mess.

Zen Lill: I don’t buy “their ever consuming and over-riding testosterone needs” – that just says we’re giving men an excuse that it is ok for “the little head to overrule the big head” when it comes to respecting women. I’m going to hang with Ym on this one. I too don’t think a woman needs to respect herself for a man to be respectful of her. Ym’s comments expressed it quite nicely. He has certainly shown over and over that he is a gentleman.

Readers: I will add, men are birthed by women – without women they wouldn’t exist. That simple fact in itself, in my opinion, is reason enough for men to revere women – all women, just for being women. It doesn’t mean they need to “like” every and all women, but a true gentleman shows respect to all women.

I can say with great gratitude that there are a few men in my life who are like that and they are simply amazing. I feel blessed that they are present in my life and wish that more men all around the world were gentlemen. I look past the things they do that annoy me and I tolerate those irritations simply because they are overshadowed by their great respect of me and women in general. I am proud when I am beside them and witness that they do not need to have any special relationship with a woman to treat her with such respect. They are fine examples of real men, true gentlemen.

This video was e-mailed to me from one of my dearest and oldest friends Kris. I think it is perfectly fitting for today. Thanks Kris for the love you give. I send it back to you tenfold.

Good morning!

First of all…

Happy Belated Birthday Mr. President!

Just in case you missed it last night, here’s an interview with President Obama on the  Tonight show with Jay Leno show:

President Obama Talks NSA, Trayvon, And Hillary Lunch With Jay Leno (Full Interview)

President Obama joined Jay Leno on Tuesday night for a wide-ranging interview that touched on everything from his recent lunch with Hillary Clinton to reassurances that the NSA surveillance programs are not as overblown as they’ve been made out to be. He also opened up about the international terror alert the government issued over the weekend.

Obama admitted he was disappointed that Russia offered asylum to Edward Snowden, but said he still intends to attend the G20 summit in Russia when that comes up. He declined to opine much on Snowden, but insisted that the NSA programs are not that threatening and domestic communications are not being collected en masse.

Obama also reflected on his remarks about Trayvon Martin and the racial dialogue he thinks the country needs to have.

Watch the full interview below, via NBC:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

*Y*A*Y*J*AY*

Readers: Wha’at’s up? Why did everyone write yesterday on the blog from the day before, after I posted yesterday’s blog? Confused? Get with it. I can see this morning you all did. :) Happy Hump day! Blog me.

Quu: I HOPE you’re having some fun too.

Edwin: I love men. My love doesn’t see colors. Whatever color they are means nothing to me. My love shines when the man I am with, no matter what color he is, treats me like a lady, and reveres me. And not just me, but women in general. Show me a man like that and in my mind he is a real man, and not just some boy trying to stick his dick in something warm and wet to get off.

Peace out.
