Welcome to the second annual International Blog Against Racism Week! This year, I'm compiling links based on posts to [livejournal.com profile] ibarw, helping slightly in the endeavor to automate posting to [livejournal.com profile] ibarw from our IBARW Del.icio.us account ([livejournal.com profile] hattifattener did more), and changing my default userpic.

Also I want to point out to anyone who doesn't know it already that [livejournal.com profile] oyceter rocks amazingly. This whole thing was her idea, and I'm here behind the scenes telling you that, despite a lot of other stuff going on in her life, she is committed to making this an important event and is doing a ton of work on it. The last IBARW and the racism-related posting in the meantime have educated me immensely, and I feel really grateful for the increased knowledge and perspective. Oyce, you're probably going to downplay this, but you've expressed yourself, stood your ground, and been generally brave and admirable since you started writing about race issues. Not that you weren't awesome before. :) Thank you!

Stay tuned for one entire race-related post I have lined up from my mildly-clued white-girl self. Mostly I'm going to work behind the scenes to make it easier to read the people my society has a hard time listening to. As a useful prelude to diving in, check out the fine terms, definitions, and disclaimers post Oyce made this morning.

I heartily second everything [livejournal.com profile] jinian said! Your thoughts last year about the second "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie really opened my eyes and made me start thinking about these issues, and I read everything you post about racism with great interest (even though I don't usually reply). You do indeed rock amazingly. :)

*icon love* I couldn't figure out an interesting thing to do with any of my icons for this week, so I just used a general (though good) one.

I agree! Oyce rocks!

However, you have my favorite icon so far.

Oh, I love yours too! I somehow thought you would enjoy the anti-racism capy. :)
