's murder reminds us we live in a country where we can be legally killed at any moment for any reason and there is no real system in place to help (or protect) us. Who We Are and How We Got Here genetic differences across groups by making conscious choices about which types of group matter for your purposes. These sorts of groups do not exist “in nature.” They are made by human choice. This is not to say that such groups have no biological attributes in common. Rather, it is to say that the Even "male" and "female," which Reich invokes as obviously biologically meaningful, has important limitations. While these categories help us to know and care for many human beings, they hinder our capacity to know and care for the millions of human beings born into this world not clearly "sexed.’ Further, overemphasizing the importance of the X and Y chromosomes in determining sex prevent us from seeing the other parts of the genome involved in sex. While focusing on groups with a high incidence of a particular condition may help researchers identify genetic variants that might correlate to the condition, it must also be understood that all genetic contributions to physical traits, including disease, are always influenced by environmental factors. Making claims about the existence of biological races won’t help answer questions about health, like how the health of racialized groups is harmed by racial discrimination — how it increases the risk of disease, the risk of exposure to environmental toxins, or the risk of inadequate and inappropriate health care. Lee brought Rees to speak to his class last semester, Wilson said, and he also gave Wilson the funds to finish his film when he came up short in postproduction. Once Wilson decided as an undergraduate that he was more interested in directing than acting, he spent a summer immersing himself in Lee’s work. He watched . Wilson insisted on filming on location in Mississippi, although it upped the production costs, and he treats the story with the intellect and considered beauty that’s typical of the Disciples of Spike. Shot by cinematographer Laura Valladao, Race Inquiry (RI) was established as an independent news source to explore race in America. RI publishes original articles, and post links to articles from national and international news outlets. Over 40 major news sources are reviewed weekly. Race Inquiry Digest is published twice a week, and is a condensation of “Important Current Stories on Race in America.” The site is dedicated to Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, who was one of the most astute observers of race in America. Ronald J. Sheehy, Ph.D. is a molecular biologist, retired university administrator, journalist, and is founder and editor of Race Inquiry. He has a published memoir, Russell W. Irvine, Ph.D. is a retired Professor of Sociology of Education. He is a historian and author, and has published many articles on education, and a recent book, The goal of Collegiate Voices (CV) is to highlight issues of race on American campuses, and to provide a forum for students and faculty at select colleges and universities to provide opinions on the subject of race.
