  • White by Law---Haney Lopez (Abridged Version)
    White by Law The Legal Construction of Race Revised and Updated 10th Anniversary Edition Ian Haney Lόpez NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS New York and London (2006) 1│White Lines In its first words on the subject of citizenship, Congress in 1790 restricted naturalization to “white persons.” Though the requirements for naturalization changed frequently thereafter, this racial prerequisite to citizenship endured for over a century and a half, remaining in force until 1952. From the earliest years of this country until just a generation ago, being a “white person” was a condition for acquiring citizenship. Whether one was “white” however, was often no easy question. As immigration reached record highs at the turn of this century, countless people found themselves arguing their racial identity in order to naturalize. From 1907, when the federal government began collecting data on naturalization, until 1920, over one million people gained citizenship under the racially restrictive naturalization laws. Many more sought to naturalize and were rejected. Naturalization rarely involved formal court proceedings and therefore usually generated few if any written records beyond the simple decision. However, a number of cases construing the “white person” prerequisite reached the highest state and federal judicial circles, and two were argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in the early 1920s. These cases produced illuminating published decisions that document the efforts of would-be citizens from around the world to establish their Whiteness at law. Applicants from Hawaii, China, Japan, Burma, and the Philippines, as well as all mixed- race applicants, failed in their arguments. Conversely, courts ruled that applicants from Mexico and Armenia were “white,” but vacillated over the Whiteness of petitioners from Syria, India, and Arabia.

Evans Craig Garthwaite Department of Economics Kellogg School of Management University of Notre Dame Northwestern University 437 Flanner Hall 2001 Sheridan Road Notre Dame, IN 46556 Evanston, IL 60208 vmail: (574) 631 7039 vmail: (202) 746 0990 email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Timothy J. Moore Department of Economics George Washington University 2115 G Street, NW Washington, DC 20052 vmail: (301) 442 1785 email: [email protected] Abstract February 2015 We propose the rise of crack cocaine markets as an explanation for the end to the convergence in black-white educational outcomes in the US that began in the mid-1980s. After constructing a measure to date the arrival of crack markets in cities and states, we show large increases in murder rates after these dates. Black high school completion rates also declined and we estimate that factors associated with crack markets and contemporaneous increases in incarceration rates can account for between 37 and 73 percent of the fall in black male high school completion rates. We argue that the primary mechanism is reduced educational investments in response to decreased returns to schooling.

    Flags and Symbols ! ! ! Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag for the 1978 San Francisco’s Gay Freedom Celebration. In the original eight-color version, pink stood for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for the sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony and violet for the soul.! " Rainbow Flag First unveiled on 12/5/98 the bisexual pride flag was designed by Michael Page. This rectangular flag consists of a broad magenta stripe at the top (representing same-gender attraction,) a broad stripe in blue at the bottoms (representing opposite- gender attractions), and a narrower deep lavender " band occupying the central fifth (which represents Bisexual Flag attraction toward both genders). The pansexual pride flag holds the colors pink, yellow and blue. The pink band symbolizes women, the blue men, and the yellow those of a non-binary gender, such as a gender bigender or gender fluid Pansexual Flag In August, 2010, after a process of getting the word out beyond the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) and to non-English speaking areas, a flag was chosen following a vote. The black stripe represents asexuality, the grey stripe the grey-are between sexual and asexual, the white " stripe sexuality, and the purple stripe community.

  • Hazard Communications (Hazcom) Symbols Nfpa
    HAZARD COMMUNICATIONS (HAZCOM) SYMBOLS A training document written by: Steve Serna The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that workers have a, “right to know” what chemical hazards are present in their particular work areas, or what chemical hazards they might encounter on their work sites. This information is written in 29 CFR 1910.1200 of the US Code. HAZCOM (Hazard Communications) relies on several written documents (MSDS & written programs) and various symbols or pictograms to inform the employee regarding chemical hazards or potential hazards. The law requires that all chemical containers/vessels have labels and adhere to a set standard; here is a quick explanation of some of the various symbols and pictograms… NFPA The National Fire Prevention Association is a private organization that catalogues and works to enact legislation for fire prevention in industrial and home settings. Most US Fire Departments rely on NFPA symbols to warn them of danger present in buildings. The NFPA Fire Diamond symbol is the common identifier along with a rating number (from 0-4) inside of a colored field to indicate a hazard rating. NFPA FIRE DIAMOND Hazcommadesimple.doc Opr: Serna Page 1 HAZARD RATINGS GUIDE For example: Diesel Fuel has an NFPA hazard rating of 0-2-0. 0 for Health (blue), 2 for Flammability (red), and 0 for Instability/Reactivity (yellow). HMIS (taken from WIKIPEDIA) The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS) is a numerical hazard rating that incorporates the use of labels with color-coded bars as well as training materials. It was developed by the American Paints & Coatings Association as a compliance aid for the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.

  • Lab Notes: Exploring Shades with Mix White LAB NOTES
    Lab Notes: Exploring Shades with Mix White LAB NOTES Exploring Shades with Mix White Introduction to Color Line Mix White Color Line Paints & Pens offer the maximum of colour mixes you can imagine. All colours mix freely, meaning you will not have unexpected reactions between specific colours as you might have with some other glass enamels. In many cases, the result of a two colour mix can literally be guessed, but there are also some surprises to reckon with, and some shades are really hard to obtain. We encourage the user to experiment with small amounts of paint and take note of the volumes or weights you mix and to always document the fired result. If not, it is hard to back track what the ingredients were. In our studio, we have run tests with the 18 ORIGINALS and also a few of colours from the 2014 Series, mixed with different ratios of the Mix White 129. We chose the Mix White instead of the normal white 128, because its properties are better suited for brightening a colour and also on account of its lower cost. In this test we started out with the pure colour and kept adding Mix White at different ratios. The shades we obtained got lighter and lighter – as you would expect – but not to the extent we had anticipated. To get really pale shades of a specific colour – and this was especially true for the darker shades – we had to add a lot of the Mix White. In this booklet we show the results we had from the pure colour alone with no Mix White to the lightest shade with only 14% of colour (1/6 of weight) plus 86% of Mix White (5/6 of weight).

  • Color Symbolism in Hinduism
    Color Symbolism in Hinduism For the Hindu, colors play a very important role in the religion and culture and have a very deep significance, transcending purely decorative values. Hindu artists use color on the deities and their dresses signifying their qualities. Proper use of colors creates an environment, which should keep a person cheerful. Some of the main colors used in religious ceremonies are red, yellow (turmeric), green from leaves, white from wheat flour. etc. Red indicates both sensuality and purity. In Hindu religion, red is of utmost significance and the color most frequently used for auspicious occasions like marriages, birth of a child, festivals, etc. A red mark is put on the forehead during ceremonies and important occasions. As a sign of marriage, women put red powder on the hair parting. They also wear a red sari during marriage. Red powder is usually thrown on statues of deities and phallic symbols during prayers. It is also the color of Shakti (prowess). A red colored dress is put on deities who are charitable, brave, protective, and who have the capacity to destroy evil. On the death of a woman, her body is wrapped in a red cloth for the cremation. Saffron The most sacred color for the Hindu saffron. Represents fire and as impurities are burnt by fire, this color symbolizes purity. It also represents religious abstinence. This color connotation has a sacred meaning for the Hindu. It is the color of holy men and ascetics who have renounced the world. Wearing the color symbolizes the quest for light. It is the battle color of the Rajputs, the warrior caste.
