	10/30/01 - Afghans And The American Racial Dilemma
		Americans, who probably rely less upon their extended families than anyone else on Earth, run into severe conceptual problems in trying to understand Afghans, who rank clan honor over the kind of civic, corporate, ideological, class and national loyalties that Americans comprehend.
		American intellectuals are especially oblivious, for emotional reasons - they tend to despise their relatives, who often aren't as smart as they are, but frequently make more money.
		This has led to the American dogma that only people from different continents belong to different "races." Within the white or fl race you are supposed to find only "ethnic groups," who are alledged to differ only culturally, whether Greek or Icelander, Pygmy or Dinka.

	Responding to Terrorism--the American Dilemma
		On the national level of American public opinion, the American administration was faced with a need to demonstrate to its citizens that their government will take all necessary steps to protect them against extremists who continue to threaten them with murderous attacks.
		The majority of Americans saw the operation as both an appropriate and an encouraging response to the perpetration and threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. citizens.
		Any chance of success is dependent upon the Americans’ ability to muster international cooperation against the state sponsors of terrorism on the assumption that this will cause them to curtail their support to the terrorists.

	Rituals: an American Baha'i dilemma
		This long-standing American Bahá'í antipathy for ritual is exemplified in the reaction to the use of hymns earlier in this century.
		Yet, in the American Feast hospitality is usually a formality and one that is devoid of its most important aspect, i.e., the unstinting giving of yourself and your possessions to outsiders.
		The dilemma is to maintain the openness of the Bahá'í Faith to others, while achieving a distinctiveness enriched by traditions and sacred activities that nourish individual and communal spirituality.

	O. J. Simpson & the American Dilemma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		What does dismay is the basis for solidarity: the clearly widespread sense among fl Americans that this is a pervasively racist society in which a conspiracy in the white legal establishment to convict an innocent fl is not simply plausible but in fact reflects the normal course of affairs.
		As late as 1944, Gunnar Myrdal wrote of An American Dilemma in which the nation denied to fl citizens its fundamental guarantees of liberty and equality.
		After the failure of myriad reform schemes, white Americans are tempted to view the existence of the underclass as a condition to be endured rather than a problem to be solved.

		American scholars, both fl and white, were excluded from the list of candidates, because they were thought to have too much prejudice to write an objective and fresh study.
		According to Myrdal, the American dilemma of his time referred to the co-existence of the American liberal ideals and the miserable situation of fls.
		On the one hand, enshrined in the American creed is the belief that people are created equal and have human rights; on the other hand, fls, as one tenth of the population, were treated as an inferior race and were denied numerous civil and political rights.

		In recent years, the schism between the two American 'melting pots' has rarely been so sharply revealed: the one generally white, although it accepts Japanese, Chinese, Hispanics and East Indians into the mix, and the other generally fl, although native Indians are a significant ingredient, and there is a large infusion of Caucasian genes.
		The 'American Dilemma' to borrow the title of the classic work by Gunnar Myrdal which appeared during World War II, is still a dilemma, and the O.J.Simpson case put it under the spotlight.
		Bernal seems to be trying to establish a bond between African Americans and American Jews as victims of the same prejudice.

	dilemma. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		In its main sense dilemma refers to a situation in which a choice must be made between alternative courses of action or argument.
		Although citational evidence attests to widespread use of the term meaning simply “a problem” or “a predicament” and involving no issue of choice, 74 percent of the Usage Panel rejects the sentence Juvenile drug abuse is the great dilemma of the 1980s.
		•It is sometimes claimed that because the di– in dilemma comes from a Greek prefix meaning “two,” the word should be used only when exactly two choices are involved.

		While American's initial sales charges are high, ongoing annual expenses average just 1.1% of assets, vs. 1.4% for the industry, according to fund researcher Morningstar Inc. Also, American's funds tend to have a low turnover in their holdings of just 27% a year, less than a quarter of the industry's 106% average.
		American was founded by Jonathan B. Lovelace, a stock analyst who sold his stake in a Michigan money management firm in 1929, because he thought the market was too frothy.

		Damn near every “fl” person I know will be the first to tell you that their ancestors were from some American Indian tribe or from Europe or Asia well before they’ll tell you that their other ancestors from ten, twenty and thirty generations ago were African kings, queens and people of nobility.
		Proud Americans we definitely are, with our own great culture that rivals the most renowned of the breed.
		Look at the era in the 60’s when fl Americans for the first time embraced their African-ness, wore their hair natural…it was the most inventive, unique height of our creativity and self respect as well as world wide admiration for our people for the first time since our enslavement.

	American progressive’s dilemma - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Noam Chomsky, intellectually the tallest critic of the American establishment’s design for domination of the world, says that he understands the logic of those who think that to keep the “Bush circle” out, one may go to the extent of “holding one’s nose and voting for some Democrat”, that is, John Kerry.
		The Democratic and Republican candidates are both for an indefinite American military occupation of Iraq, in whatever name it may be called.
		Yet there is a considerable number of thinking Americans who acutely feel the need for recasting a system, which allows a handful of families and corporations to amass wealth, which Prof Chomsky has characterised as “beyond the dreams of avarice”.

	THE AMERICAN DILEMMA FOR BLACK AMERICANS
		Further, he argued that most white Americans outside the South were inclined to do so, because of their own moral dilemma regarding the embarrassment of racial inequality.
		White Americans can, therefore, believe themselves to be fair and equitable, while at the same time actively seeking and using "advantage." In other words, we find in the interviews that, despite the claim by white Americans that they believe in "equal opportunity," they do not rely on equal opportunity in their own lives.
		The current study finds that white Americans do not experience a moral dilemma because of the existence of racial inequality, despite normative beliefs in egalitarianism, because there is a disconnection between the kind of structural advantage that they receive and the way they make sense of it in their everyday lives.

	An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy. By Gunnar Myrdal
		This book is an extremely influential document about the conditions under which Americans of African descent lived during the first half of the twentieth century.
		Therefore, the dominant American valuation is that the Negro should be eliminated from the American scene, but slowly.
		Myrdal writes that it is common among 'liberal' white Americans to rationalize the depopulation of persons of African descent on the grounds that there will be less prejudice as the size of the fl population diminishes But this is clearly not the perception of the fl community.

	People's Weekly World - State-sanctioned killing is American dilemma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Americans are not a cruel people, the authors contend, yet the United States is the only industrialized nation utilizing a punishment the rest of the world has long rejected as barbaric.
		Though there is no evidence that capital punishment is a deterrent there is much to indicate gross miscarriage of justice in the charging of capital murder; in conviction; and in the execution of those so convicted.
		The dilemma presented by the death penalty is perhaps clearest when considering the positions taken by religious organizations.

	American Eating Habits - Mental Health Disorders on MedicineNet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In a questionnaire given to American college students on six different campuses nationwide, Rebecca Bauer, Dana Catanese, and I found that an average of 71% of females thought their thighs were too fat, and 13% admitted that they would be embarrassed to buy (that is correct: buy) a chocolate bar at a store.
		It is particularly ironic that although the Americans do much more worrying about food and health, and consume a much higher proportion of foods that have been modified to reduce fat, a substantially larger percent of the French (74%) see themselves as healthy eaters than do the Americans (34%).
		Americans have a particular predisposition to spend a lot of money on making their lives easier, and minimizing exercise or effort: microwaves, air conditioners, power windows, automatic garage door openers, driving to a store only a few blocks away.

		Last spring, a majority of Americans supported UPS strikers who were demanding the kind of secure, full-time jobs that fewer and fewer corporations now provide.
		Both their commanders and Governor Steunenberg knew that African Americans would be unlikely to view their adversaries as fellow workers, while white servicemen of the day often fraternized with strikers.
		Many Americans may be ready for an anticorporate politics that acknowledges race and gender but transcends them—"a politics centered on the struggle to prevent the rich from ripping off the rest of the country," as Richard Rorty so bluntly puts it.

		As Myrdal's book did fifty years ago, An American Dilemma Revisited offers an insightful look at the continuing effects of racial inequality and discrimination inAmerican society and examines different means for removing the specter of racism in the United States.

	IPT Journal - Book Review - "The Dilemma of American Social Welfare"
		With meticulous attention to standards of accuracy, science, rigor, and objectivity, Epstein mercilessly exposes the sins and moral turpitude of scientists, particularly mental health professionals, who shape their conclusions and interpretations to fit the ephemeral political and social consensus of the moment and maintain their privileged and comfortable niche.
		His basic theme is that the American population is unwilling to pay the dollar costs of actually solving social problems, and scientists and science are prostituted to maintain the myth that cheap, simple interventions work to solve them.
		This gargantuan folly is supported, justified and maintained by the pseudoscience foisted upon the public by mainly psychology and social work and also the other social sciences.

		The American population is unprecedentedly active at the level of economic decision-making, despite - and here I am obliged to sound a very critical note - the deadening and stupefying effects of some aspects of American mass culture.
		That a large minority of American fls are welfarised, demoralised and criminalised, is mostly the result of the bogus guilt mongering and false charity of America's white and fl welfare élites, who have a vested interest in keeping things that way.
		The American nation could not have been built without that optimism and sense of belonging to a superior experiment which her foes and critics find so offensive.

	Welcome to Routledge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		At times mirroring and at times shockingly disparate to the rise of traditional White American medicine, the history of African American health care is a story of traditional healers; root doctors; granny midwives; underappreciated and overworked African American physicians; scrupulous and unscrupulous White doctors and scientists; governmental support and neglect; epidemics; and poverty.
		More than 50 years after the publication of An American Dilemma, Gunnar Myrdal's 1944 classic about race relations in the USA, An American Health Dilemma presents a comprehensive and groundbreaking history and social analysis of race, race relations and the African American medical and public health experience.
		An American Health Dilemma promises to become an irreplaceable and essential look at African American and medical history and will provide an invaluable baseline for future exploration of race and racism in the American health system.
