Carmen Van Kerckhove, of Racialicious is the host of the March 2007 edition of the Erase Racism Carnival.

"The Erase Racism Carnival is a collection of blog posts dedicated to creating a world free of racism. The Carnival is published around the 20th of every month. The idea is to get more people blogging and/or reading about creating a world free of racism. It's also a great way to get new readers for your blog. If you would like to host a future edition, check for availability here and email vegankid or Rachel with your interest."

I'm participating with the Latin America Racial Diversity post. Here are a few other participants:

Faces in the Crowdn>
Blog: Double Consciousness
Walking into The Filmore all one could see was a sea of white faces (which I'm guilty of myself) and barely any people of color, which is the demographic that The Coup would want to target, especially since their music talks about liberation, the overthrow of capitalism, and white supremacy, and racism.

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa
Blog: Pitchfork
Like most of you reading this, I know far more about the people and places of the Star Wars universe than of Africa. Even though Star Wars is a movie, and Africa is the second-largest continent on Earth and the birthplace of mankind, I spend roughly NaDa time thinking about the latter, while the former has shaped my life since I was four.

"Po'pay, A True American Hero"...An Ambitious Documentary About an Amazing Man
Blog: NativeVue
Several years ago, the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico teamed up with filmmakers Derek Stokes and Catherine Angeles of Skalalitude Productions to change all that. Their upcoming feature-length documentary, Po'pay, A True American Hero, will pay tribute to the man, and perhaps even more importantly, the legacy of his victorious revolt against the Spanish in the lives of modern-day Natives seeking to maintain their languages and traditions.

Racism, Creationism, Darwinism
Blog: Greg Laden
The process of scientific inquiry, debate, research, and analysis has resulted in this simple set of conclusions: The "races" themselves are illusory, the genetic determinism of behavior and ability is without foundation, and the ethnic or identity based linkage to correlated genes is nonsense. Yet, the concept of race remains just as strong today as it ever was, outside of the biological sciences.
