exploring our hidden prejudices ....
... like humans do.

Tune in sunday from 4-6 p.m. for a thought provoking and honest discussion about PREJUDICE.
Questions to consider....
Are you prejudiced? bigoted? racist?
Have you been discriminated against?
Have you been verbally or physically attacked because of prejudice?
How has racism, or bigotry in general, affected you? How has it affected us as a nation?
Do you believe the poet, Baraka, should resign? Was it appropriate for the folks in charge to ask him to resign? (see link below for details.)
Here are some links i've used for this weekend's show...
1) this is a site i rambled onto by accident when i typed in "skull and crossbones" (the death symbol i've put on my pack of cigs to remind me that they are killing me):
http://www.adl.org/adl.asp
2) here's the poem that has caused much controversy. i first learned of this on the "ADL" site (above) and then my brother byron sent me a link to it as well:

3) yesterday i found this little article by accident when i was looking into "boston news" on the AOL main page:
Springsteen May Appear at Bridge Dedication
Friday's dedication ceremonies for the Leonard Zakim/Bunker Hill Bridge are expected to include an appearance by Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen met the late Anti-Defamation League director in Ireland, shortly before Zakim died of cancer. Springsteen said he was impressed by Zakim's work against intolerance. Springsteen will be in Boston to perform at the Fleet Center. The bridge will open to pedestrians for a final time this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The last bridge walk drew hundreds of thousands of people.
4) then, i checked into this bridge, and the man named zakim (3 sites):
