Happy MLK Day..

And to celebrate this day, I provide you a small clip from Meet The Press over a year ago featuring Michael Dyson. The clip features an interview of MLK discussing the segregation in churches and Dyson highlights how many Black Church leaders like Jeremiah Wright follow the same traditions and analysis MLK brought to his sermons. Considering how many people frequently liberalize MLK and "soften" his image to a nice moderate integrationist, it is important we understand these aspects of his life so we can truly understand MLK's impact and influence in America.

Lack of updates..

I apologize for the lack of updates since about mid-December. Recently I've had problems finding stuff to write and what direction to take this blog. When I originally started this blog, I was going on with the plan of going to Korea and doing alot of posting about the stuff I see there. Unfortunately, my trip there has been delayed indefinitely (I will not be there until March at the earliest) which has kinda thrown that plan out of the loop. I posted on numerous subjects earlier to help get me use to writing, but now I am struggling to figure out what to do.

As much as I like to focus on labor and social movements in Korea, the blog is kinda stagnant during down turns especially when I am not there. I have thought about expanding it a bit to talk about Korean history or just Asian issues in general. I can also just make this a fairly broad blog that discusses numerous issues, from politics to video games which would make this blog more personal and allow for more updates, but really cost its focus.

I am going to think about it for a bit while, but I am wondering what you all think I should do. You are more wonderful audience afterall.

Getting life-saving transplants hard for mixed-race patients..

ABC news has a little article on organ donating and the problems mixed people face when needing these life-saving operations. You can check it out over here. I can only imagine this can be even more problematic for adaptees who might not be even completely aware of their background (Like me to some degree)
