New to the Blogroll
| May 2nd, 2003Two new additions to the blogroll, both well worth your attention. Check ‘em out.
Prometheus 6 is a blog focusing on (but not limited to) anti-racism. Everything he’s written recently is great, although I haven’t read his archives because the links to them are bloggered. (Update: I’m told the links have been fixed.)
Prometheus 6 has been kind enough to link to Alas a couple of times, such as in this post, responding to a post of mine about terminology. You should go read the entire post, but here’s a sample:
And not to put too fine a point on it, but “racist” is the only word that makes white people as crazy as “nigger” makes Black people. It makes them crazier. White people don’t want to hear you talk about ANY white person being racist. They’ll start telling you how many Black friends they have (I was going to quote an example from the net, but nevermind).

I don’t think I’ve met him in real life, but Raznor is another Portland blogger, and (like Prometheus 6) regularly improves the comments here on Alas with his contributions. Curiously (because he writes so many long insightful posts here), his blog has relatively little extended analysis, instead concentrating on cool links to interesting news stories. (Hint, hint.)
(You should also send him email - he’s keeping count of how many emails he gets from strangers via his blog).
Also, he’s a Reed student, so I assume he’s on drugs.
I’d love to link to a particular post of Raznor’s (I’d probably choose the one he modified from something he wrote on comments here), but none of Raznor’s permalinks seem to be working. Damn you, blogger!

Also, The Sixth International has migrated slightly on my blogroll, deserting the select ranks of linked right-wingers to join the somewhat less select but still desirable suburb of unclassifiables. (It just wasn’t a convincing enough imitation.)
