Today Vitamin D welcomes for a second time Dr. Ramon Grosfoguel with whom we recently caught up at a function he was attending in London. Following from our last chat with Ramon he speaks to the contemporary political applications of decolonial thought this time around. What does decoloniality demand of the traditional white left? What is the role of the 'nation-state' in the global project of decolonization? How have our politics of liberation been historically co-opted to reproduce the same colonial logic they set out to thwart? In his usual gracious spirit and dedication towards the decolonial project Ramon tackles these and other topics including the necessity of disenchantment with the white man for any decolonial politics to bear fruit, the importance of having a critique of the state from an indigenous perspective giving the examples of Ecuador and Venezuela, the colonial relationship that connects police brutality in the U.S.A to the occupation of Palestine and much more.

This is how anti-semitism works in Missouri politics (and how big money moves, or doesn't move), and more revelations
See Post-Dispatch story.
And statements from John Hancock, here.
Update March 20, 2015: Danforth doubles down, tries to get other donors to call for Hancock's ouster. Ok, so, like the History Museum, clearly the Republican party is a donor-driven entity, but who in fact is 'clear' of the crudest forms of racism and anti-semitism in that party? Danforth story here.
Update March 24, 2015: Somehow, hard to believe anything any of these people say. Hancock ups the ante, hands one back to Danforth. Humphreys backpedals on the affidavit below, and sends out a new one, here, says it wasn't November, it was September. Which means that... not anti-semitic after all?
