The 44s announces its retirement

The Fighting 44s will move from active site to legendary myth. I’m retiring from the site, and the site is retiring from the blogosphere. We’ll party like it’s 1999 until the final bell tolls.  The 44s has achieved great things in its short time in the blogosphere, and we will truly miss it.

By the way, check out some of the old archives and stuff from the past.  Topics such as covert racism have been covered in relative depth–I say relative because you’ll get a deeper understanding by reading a book, but I know not everyone has the time or inclination to read.  Some of the old, super-militant stuff has been deleted because the general populace just isn’t ready for such knowledge or can’t handle the truth. :)   (Evil laughing sound.)  That old stuff will simply have to remain in our memories.  44s forever.

Jaehwan's Last Lap at the 44s

This was my recent blog at the Fighting 44s.  I love the site, but I’ve realized that my time is up.  Over the next week or so, I’ll try to post some articles up there (and here too).

Everyone who has ever been involved in collaborative or competitive work knows that neither sprints nor marathons last forever. There’s a time to begin, a time to excel, and a time to stop. After being a member here for five years and working as a blogger for perhaps the last year and a half at the 3rd Most Dangerous Job in the Asian American Blogosphere, my time has come. It’s time for me to meander to a different pasture. My blogging career at the Fighting 44s will be over at the end of this month.

Podcast: Anti-Racist Education

This was our very first Fighting 44s podcast when we were in Portland last month, and the topic was “Anti-Racist Education.” Somehow we forgot to post it! It’s approximately 30 minutes in length, 13.6 megs, recorded on 8/22/08, and it features nskripchun and Xian, two seasoned professionals in the education system, discussing education and culture as it relates to Asian Americans. Mrs. skrips, who is also a teacher, has a short part too (to set skrips straight!). It’s a good discussion by three expert teachers with experience in the education field. They talk about tests, books, and racial and ethnic stereotypes as they relate to American students. I thought it was interesting because it gave me the opportunity to hear from three people who are on the ground dealing with the system and trying to impart knowledge to young America.
