Former President Barack Obama suggested on Monday that “mommy issues” are holding America back.
Former President Barack Obama suggested on Monday that "mommy issues" are holding America back, reports the Kansas City Star. During a speech at the Obama Foundation Summit, he addressed the country's lack of progress on important matters including education and climate change. He then commented: "The reason we don't do it is because we are still confused, blind, shrouded with hate, anger, racism, mommy issues." "We are fraught with stuff, and so if that is the case, then the single most important thing we have to invest in is...people," Obama further noted. "We have got to get people to figure out how they work together in a cooperative, thoughtful, constructive way." In a later discussion with author Dave Eggers, the former president said he still believes that if given the choice of a place and time to live, people would pick the United States.
He added: "You'd choose now – or maybe two years ago."

Of the many obstacles to racial justice in America, none has received more recent attention than the one that lurks in our subconscious. As social movements and policing scandals have shown how far from being "postracial" we are, the concept of implicit bias has taken center stage in the national conversation about race. Millions of Americans have taken online tests purporting to show the deep, invisible roots of their own prejudice. A recent Oxford study that claims to have found a drug that reduces implicit bias is only the starkest example of a pervasive trend. But what do we risk when we seek the simplicity of a technological diagnosis--and solution--for racism? What do we miss when we locate racism in our biology and our brains rather than in our history and our social practices?In Race on the Brain, Jonathan Kahn argues that implicit bias has grown into a master narrative of race relations--one with profound, if unintended, negative consequences for law, science, and society. He emphasizes its limitations, arguing that while useful as a tool to understand particular types of behavior, it is only one among several tools available to policy makers. An uncritical embrace of implicit bias, to the exclusion of power relations and structural racism, undermines wider civic responsibility for addressing the problem by turning it over to experts. Technological interventions, including many tests for implicit bias, are premised on a color-blind ideal and run the risk of erasing history, denying present reality, and obscuring accountability. Kahn recognizes the significance of implicit social cognition but cautions against seeing it as a panacea for addressing America's longstanding racial problems. A bracing corrective to what has become a common-sense understanding of the power of prejudice, Race on the Brain challenges us all to engage more thoughtfully and more democratically in the difficult task of promoting racial justice.

the pleasant night is over,
do not know when you will arrive..............
worlds weather has changed,
do not know when you will arrive,
the sights their ruptures
shown, have gone to sleep,
the stars their luminence
stripped ,have gone to sleep
every lamp has gone out
do not know when you will arrive,
the plesant night is over,
here ,we re suffering agitation in your expectation ,
in your expectation.......in your expectation.............................
shades of autumin is creeping in the time of blossom,
even the wind has changed its course
dont know when you will arrive,
this is a soothing,sweet,romantic song from 1949.....

On Riz Khan, live from New York City, we debate the Durban II world conference set up to fight racism and racial discrimination.
We will speak with Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, who argues that the current preparatory meetings for Durban II ignore key issues in Africa in favour of chastising Israel.
Israel and the US pulled out of Durban I, claiming it was anti-semitic, and Neuer believes that the only way to avert a similar disaster at Durban II (to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, in April 2009) is for the EU to threaten a boycott.
Joining the programme from London, Islamic Human Rights Commission Chair Massoud Shadjareh argues that Durban II should move forward as planned and that putting the issue of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is necessary if racism is to be truly addressed.

My Knight on a motorbike, my nephew
once he is licensed with the confidence
to lift, off we go –
We want to do join a breakfast run, “Do
you want me to arrange your funeral? ”
his mother wryly commented
Now she can arrange mine also, I want
many songs at my wake and Whispering
Hope is one of them
Meantime, I’m licking my lips for the
feeling of wind in my hair, I’ll let them
grow in order to savour
The affair with wind and speed, we
won’t allow parental spite to spoil
our new-found joy!

The alder shudders in the April winds
off the moon. No one is awake and yet
sunlight streams across
the hundred still beds
of the public wards
for children. At ten
do we truly sleep
in a blessed sleep
guarded by angels
and social workers?
Do we dream of gold
found in secret trunks
in familiar rooms?
Do we talk to cats
and dogs? I think not.
I think when I was
ten I was almost
an adult, slightly
less sentimental
than now and better
with figures. No one
could force me to cry,
nothing could convince
me of God's concern
for America
much less the fall of
a sparrow. I spit
into the wind, even
on mornings like this,
the air clear, the sky
utterly silent,
the fresh light flooding
across bed after
bed as though something
were reaching blindly --
for we are blindest
in sunlight -- for hands
to take and eyelids
to caress and bless
before they open
to the alder gone
still and the winds hushed,
before the children
waken separately
into their childhoods.
