I picked up this book "The Revolution Will Not Be Funded" which is edited by INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence...Its a collection of essays on what has been called the "non-profit industrial complex". I have only been reading the past few days, but its interesting, especially for me as I seriously contemplate a move to the non-profit sector...The various contributors (some who contradict one another, as they should) offer insights into the ways in which the non-profit sector (as a result of various reasons) regenerate the many of the social ills it claims to work toward erradicting. I don't take this a a justification not to engage. To the contrary. It simply means (to me) that a different paradigm is necessary.
After spending countless time commenting on the craziness of others on the internet, I decided to create a central place for my ideas and thoughts (and quite possibly, my own craziness). Most likely, I will piss off alot of people, but I that's cool with me.
About Me
- RandomThgt
- New York City, New York, United States
- 41 year old African-American Male. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades and a master of none...I rely on reasoned common sense, rationality and what my gut tells me is right/wrong (combined with the well reasoned opinions of others!). I don't consider myself an expert on anything in particular, but I have lots of opinions.
