This week at SDFP, during Black History Month, we focused on Race & Racism thus this week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles by San Diego Free Press and OB Rag regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors and sourced writers on talking about race, why racism matters, SD’s hurtful racial narrative, how racists from the south have ruled, black girls matter too, being almost white, imagining an all female POC SCOTUS, a chosen path, the San Salvador and Junipero Serra’s domination, whites fighting racism, a poem on being brown unlike others, lots of videos on race, plus a bunch of other great articles and columns like the Chargers flipping SD the bird, Syrian Kurd leftists’ victory in Kobani, music and theater reviews and the usual plethora of OB goodies.
