Hilarious.

the possibilities for hilarity under such a blog are seemingly endless. i can't WAIT to send this one around.

The Daymaker 5000. New, from the Internet.

oooohhh...now i get it. i was a little scared at first. i'm not all that great with sarcastic distance. i got it after i looked at it for five minutes (whoops!) good to know that people are being critical of the "now everything is different!", "we're in a post-racial society!" bull. humor is a great way to go about it.

It's hilarious, but it also makes me said to see all the great things that we could do, but aren't.

Hopefully we are headed in a better direction. I realize it's a humor site, but I particularly love all the education ones.

I guess that based on this argument, sexism is over in Liberia and Chile...and other countries that have womyn as presidents. amazing.

whoa...I really thought that was a serious blog! I actually got a pissed at the ignorance because America is in no way a non-racist country just because Obama will be president. I'm pretty sure that as a Black female, I'll still experience racism on a day-to-day basis from my white peers and I'll still receive stares whenever I'm affectionate with my White partner in public, and I'll still be asked to speak for the entire Black population in white groups...No, racism is not dead. I'm living proof of it.

The geek in me wants to shout WIN! But I'll refrain.

I just love sarcastic blogs. They often have greater insight than any others.

That is awesome - the best way to educate people who say "Racism doesn't exist anymore" is to show them what that would look like.

Sooo... can someone please pretty please make one of these for sexism? I have a friend in need of perspective, and I'd like to do a racism/sexism double-hitter. :)

Finally, back to my home country, Britain, where the Joseph Rowntree Foundation revealed that 70 per cent of Britain’s poorest children are concentrated in just four conurbations: London, Greater Manchester, Merseyside (which includes Liverpool) and Glasgow.

The Rowntree report points out ‘the huge damage caused by the persistence of poverty and disadvantage in a generally prosperous country’. The poor areas in these cities, like Harpurhey in Manchester, Everton in Liverpool, Tower Hamlets in London or Easterhouse in Glasgow, can feel like desolated places, but here, as elsewhere, civic leadership can produce innovative ideas. For example, in Easterhouse a new Cultural Campus, appropriately called the Bridge, has opened, incorporating a library, a lifelong learning centre, a flexible auditorium, rehearsal, photography and multimedia studios, a flexible exhibition and performance space, and an education centre, the John Wheatley College. This large, multifunctional building also offers office suites, a new swimming pool, water features and a health suite, which will attract many users. Its goals are to increase opportunities to develop personal self-confidence, new life skills, such as communication and team working, and good health and to increase employability.

Most interestingly and counter-intuitively, it is also the base for the new National Theatre of Scotland. Conceived as a ‘virtual’ body, with only a small number of permanent staff, it will research at the Easterhouse base and create plays for touring. This alone will bring people into the area who previously had no reason to be there.
