What is Culture?
Culture Quotes:
It is the acquired pair of glasses through which we see life.
- Mbarek A.
Culture
is us. We make it. We shape it as we love it to be. It is a call for
individuals to agree upon some common values that bind them in harmony.
- Moustafa H.
The more we know about the cultures of others, the more open-minded, tolerant and global we become. - Samir El A.
Sayings from a culture tell us about that culture's values:
- Haste makes waste
- Walk in Beauty
- Practice what you preach
- To err is human, to forgive divine
- Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
- Don’t beat around the bush.
- Time is money.
- Stand on your own two feet.
- God helps those who help themselves.
- You’ve made your bed. Now lie in it.
- Feed two birds with one bowl
- Don't speak until spoken to
- If you can’t say something nice, don't say anything at all.
- Take time to smell the roses.
- Turn the other cheek
- Everyman for himself
- You should use all the brains you have and all that you can borrow.
- If a man works hard, the land will not be lazy
- Don’t depend on heaven for food, but on your own two hands carrying the load

Unnatural Causes
The video Unnatural Causes:
http://www.unnaturalcauses.
From: Martha
Matlaw
Last night, my video group watched "Unnatural Causes"
which is sort of like "Race: The Power of an Illusion" except that it
looks at structural racism and its relationship to health care as opposed to
housing/wealth. If you've never seen it, the video is AMAZING. There's
a 29 minute clip specifically about the impact of race on health, but all of
the dvd chapters are eye-popping. (ex: Another segment, "Place
Matters," clearly demonstrates how health and longevity directly
correspond to your street address.)
Anyway, it turns out that the Boston Health Commission has
identified structural racism as the number one health problem in the City of Boston, and they have
been doing AMAZING work with youth and the community in general. Their
staff receives ongoing antiracism training from ARC/Color Lines (see urls
below), and a number of neighborhood health centers have organized youth to
create multiracial "Race healing and reconciliation" teams. This
Thursday, one of the teams is facilitating a "a participatory activity that tests your ability to build an
equitable community in the face of systemic obstacles."
This initiative reminds me of
the work done by Deborah Prothrow-Stith in the 1990s (?or 80s), when she
defined violence as the number one health problem and then provided violence
prevention trainings and curriculum to educate and organize youth and the
community.
Here are some good statistics about racial inequities relating to
race and health in Boston:
I Am A Statistic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Additional statistics: Boston Globe 2/22/15
9 out of 10 black people 12 or older currently don’t use illicit drugs
93% don’t suffer from substance abuse
7 out of 10 black fathers ages 15 to 44 who live with their children bathe, dress, diaper, or help their child use the toilet daily – the highest ration by race
9 out of 10 young black ages 25 to 29 have completed high school or its equivalent – the same ratio as the national average
Among Boston area universities and colleges, Tufts, Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Boston University, Bentley, Babson and Emerson graduate at least 8 out of 10 black men enrolled
There are 59% more black men in postsecondary education than jail
Black high school graduates are 3X more likely to be in college or employed than unemployed
Black fathers ages 15 – 44 had the highest rates of helping children with homework and taking them to and from activities of any race
6 out of 10 black young adults 25 to 29 (compared to 18$ in 1971) have at least some college – the same rate as the national average
4 out of 5 black fathers living with their children read to them
Urban public institutions which serve populations from tougher circumstances are know for lower graduation rates but UMass Boston has gone from 2 out of 10 black men graduating in 2004 to 4 out of 10 in 2010, one of the fasted rises in the nation.

Potty Mouthed Princesses Make and Important Point

Coming Out
Daniel's boyfriend set up a GoFundMe page to
help Daniel with living expenses. The New Civil Rights Movement has
been told by a person in touch with Daniel that he is safe, living with a
trusted relative, and he's "overwhelmed" by all that's happened.
The video begins with a woman, possibly Daniel's mother, saying, "Daniel, I want to tell you before I say anything else, that I love you."
In an email, Daniel told the Huffington Post today why he started to record the video. "I wanted to make sure there was evidence in case something happened."
The Huffington Post adds that Daniel "came out as gay last October. At the time, his father was unresponsive and his stepmother seemed supportive. However, things took a turn for the worse Wednesday when Pierce found himself a part of what he describes as a 'delayed intervention' involving his father, stepmother and grandparents. He apparently captured footage of the interaction on camera."
Trigger warning - This is what LGBT folks dread…

Interesting Ad Campaign
"If you laugh, you get it. If you are offended, you're part of the problem"
"Time to open up the can of 'I'm not a racist, but…"
"Well-meaning people sometimes make off-handed remarks to each other and to people of color that are hurtful and offensive. Calling out friends and acquaintances on remarks like those in this clip is beyond frustrating because no one ever wants to admit the nuances of racism. Thank the heavens for comedians."

Immigrant Children
Child Migrants Have Been Coming to America Alone Since Ellis Island
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/07/child-migrant-ellis-island-history
The Immigration Act of 1907 did indeed declare that unaccompanied children under 16 were not permitted to enter in the normal fashion. But it didn't send them packing, either. Instead, the act set up a system in which unaccompanied children—many of whom were orphans—were kept in detention awaiting a special inquiry with immigration inspectors to determine their fate. At these hearings, local missionaries, synagogues, immigrant aid societies, and private citizens would often step in and offer to take guardianship of the child.
Other children journeyed to Ellis Island alone because they had lost their parents, often to war or famine, and had been sponsored by immigrant aid societies and other charities in America.
And of course, many of those kids grew up to work tough jobs, start new businesses and create new jobs, and pass significant amounts of wealth down to some of the very folks clamoring to "send 'em back" today.

10 Things You Should Know About Hate Groups
Hate groups range in ideology from religious bigotry to
anti-immigration, and from anti-LGBT to white supremacists and racist
skinheads. Most hate groups are short-lived but some, like chapters of
the Ku Klux Klan, are active for decades. The most violent are racist
prison groups.
