    Unraveling Whiteness and White Privilege: a Personal and Family Narrative

    © Clare G. Holzman August 28, 2016 May be downloaded and/or shared as long as the above information is included. UNRAVELING WHITENESS AND WHITE PRIVILEGE: A PERSONAL AND FAMILY NARRATIVE As a white person who wants to play an active role in movements for social justice, I have come to recognize that I must become conscious of my own position within the systems of power and privilege that permeate our society. Unless I engage in this process, I will continue to behave in ways that perpetuate the very systems that I want to change. Writing this essay is part of my process of working toward that consciousness. I hope that others will find it useful in their own efforts. Earliest Influences In anti-racism workshops I have participated in, a common question has been “How old were you when you first became aware that you were white?” Common answers are “Four.” or “Six.” After much consideration, I have concluded that the most truthful answer for me is “Forty-two.” I was taught by my mother that we were not white; we were Jews, and the dominant society did not consider Jews to be white. I believed her. There is some truth to the contention that historically the dominant society has not considered Jews to be white. For centuries, Europeans regarded Jews as a separate race, alien and unassimilable (Hannaford, 1996). In the United States, the story is more complicated. Jews were never denied naturalization as citizens under the naturalization law of 1790, which limited eligibility for naturalization to “free white persons” (Haney Lopez, 1996).1 Beginning in the 1840’s, however, the “scientific” study of human diversity increasingly subdivided the racial category of whiteness into hierarchically-ordered sub-races with Anglo-Saxons or Nordics at the top and Celts, Alpines, and Mediterraneans described as inferior.

The city’s Department of Finance is getting in on the action, prompting the agency to increase tax assessments on some of the high-profi le properties. A tentative tax roll released last month for the 2016-2017 tax year brings the total market value of New York City’s real estate to over $1 trillion — reportedly for the fi rst time. The overall taxable assessed values for the city would increase 8.10%. Brooklyn’s assessed values accounted for the sharpest rise of 9.83% from FY 2015/2016, followed by Manhattan’s 8.47% increase. Although some properties along the 5th Avenue corridor had a reduction in valuations the properties were primarily offi ce, not retail according to a reported analysis of the tentative tax roll details. Building owners have the opportunity to appeal the increase; but an unexpected rise in market value — and hence real estate taxes, will negatively impact the building’s bottom line and value. Typically tenants incur the burden of most of the tax increases from the time the lease is signed, and the landlord pays the taxes that existed before the signing; but in some cases the tenant increase in capped, leaving the burden of the additional expense on the landlord.

A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld.

    {PDF EPUB} Terry the Time Travelling Tortoise by Mr

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Terry The Time Travelling Tortoise by Mr. Wolf Casey Junior. Casey is a 2-4-0 American steam tender locomotive with a small, four-wheeled tender full of coal at the back, a big, tall smokestack, a small headlamp in a baseball cap-shaped casing, a tall steam dome with a whistle on top, and a small cowcatcher on his front. The latter has a vague shape of a face, with two headlights in place of eyes and a cylinder-shaped structure protruding forward functioning as his nose. His wheel pistons are often used as "arms", like when he has to climb up a difficult mountain. Appearances. Dumbo. Casey is a 2-4-0 American steam tender locomotive hauling the WDP Circus train, and he even has his own theme song. He appears frequently throughout the film and is shown to be somewhat sapient. For example, when the Ringmaster calls, "All aboard! All aboard!", his whistle can be heard calling, "All aboard! Let's go!" As is the case with most of Disney's early cartoon vehicles, Casey has the ability to move more fluidly than real-life locomotives, and his boiler is often seen bending and twisting like rubber when in motion. In addition, he can twist and flex his metal body to express motion. He uses his steam cylinders like limbs, giving him the ability to shrug, point and make other gestures. While the sound of the voice resembles that of one processed through a vocoder, it was actually done with a more primitive device, a Sonovox, which uses one or two small loudspeakers in contact with the throat, which allowed Wright to "speak" by modulating an artificially produced sound with her mouth.
