Clarence Thomas Is Also Race Conscious | ...narrative equating the advance of racial equality with the triumph of progressive politics. Jeffrey Toobin of The New Yorker, for example, once criticized Thomas for finding “a racial angle on a broad array of issues, including those which appear to be scarcely related to traditional civil rights, like campaign finance or gun control.” Given the fact that America's earliest gun control laws were put in place to keep blacks unarmed, and that the 14th Amendment was drafted in 1866 in part to prevent the former Confederate states from disarming the freedmen, it turns out to be Toobin whose views are “scarcely related” to the topic at hand, not Thomas. As for the point about race and campaign finance, Thomas also has history on his side. In recent years, Thomas has taken issue with the post-Citizens United valorization of the Tillman Act of 1907, a pioneering campaign finance regulation sponsored by Democratic Sen. Benjamin “Pitchfork” Tillman of South Carolina. As Thomas likes to point out, Tillman made an early name for himself as the leader of a Klan-like terror group that killed and menaced black Americans. “Tillman's contributions to campaign finance law have been discussed in our recent cases on that subject,” Thomas wrote, referring to Justice John Paul Stevens' dissent in Citizens United. “His contributions to the culture of terrorism that grew in [the post-war South] had an even more dramatic and tragic effect.” Indeed, Thomas later told an audience at Stetson University, “Go back and read why Tillman introduced that legislation…as I hear the story he was concerned that the corporations, Republican corporations, were favorable toward blacks, and he felt that there was a need to regulate them.” Despite his comments earlier this week, Clarence Thomas has repeatedly shown that he too understands the need for race consciousness in American politics.

HTML Boot Camp in Palm Coast | ...Interview and Article by Ezra Salkin Ezra Salkin is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. He is a a writer and illustrator based in Palm Coast, FL. “ Look at how long this is, ” ....says Mike Torinese, a young-man in an Abercrombie tee-shirt sitting next to me, who is a Flagler Palm Coast high-school junior. He passes me his laptop. The first thing I see on his screen is Link, the elfin-looking hero from the acclaimed “Legend of Zelda” Nintendo series, but it's what's under the character that he's pointing out: a near endless paragraph of coding which appears to be pure jargon or, from my uneducated eye, maybe a two-year-old going to town on a keyboard. The fact that the character's name is Link is timely, because, at that moment, linking is the subject during this class at COWORK by Office Divvy on Hyper Text Markup Language, more commonly known as HTML. The value, as expressed in the class's presentation, is HTML allows the user greater creative control when designing their blog or website. It's a powerful tool for self-marketing. The class covered everything from the HTML's origin (it was originally designed by the physicist Tim Berners-Lee for the sharing of documents between researchers of The European Organization for Nuclear Research), how it's evolved, its basics, as well as how to protect yourself from things that would undoubtedly save hours of the hair-tearing variety. At one point, the teacher, Alex Ordonez, an 18-year-old computer science student at Stetson University, said: “ This is something that will be meaningless to many of you, but for those who are impacted, it'll be a life saver and I don't want to not save someone's life by not telling them. ” Torinese says he's not interested in coding to help him further another career— he wants to make it his career. “I'm interested in the technical side.” He really wanted to do video-game coding but he says it's hard to find a place to learn that. What does he hope to get out of the class? “ Well most of this stuff I already know, ” he says. It turns out that Torinese is an Office Divvy intern, working specifically under Ordonez, who leads the Office Divvy web development team. The students in the class range in age from 11 to those within the retirement demographic. At 44, Keith Claybrook, who has a catering business, falls somewhere in the middle. Claybrook says he knows his way around a computer pretty well, but a nice website would be beneficial to his business. “ It's a good skill to have,” he says. “ I got the email, and basically said everybody should learn it, so I figured I don't know it, so I should really learn.” He's tried his luck with HTML before but just never really understood it. “ This is the basics. This is kind of like the starting point,” he says. Kathy Shea, a veteran of the Office Divvy classes, worked in the movie business as an associate producer for close to 30 years before she retired to Palm Coast where she now works part-time as a consultant,...
