Aren't wub just saying that there could be the same kind of progressive output from carrying out that principle, because it's just that and in principle, because we are writing stuff here.

Parodying the coonery that is BET still perpetuates stereotypes.

I don't see too many people complaining about most Asian music videos doing the exact same thing.
It's just the artist trying to seek universal acceptance by conforming.

uh - yeah you do….

Well there's no way I can guarantee you have seen or understand my posts…
- so we'll chalk that - miss - as a drop in the wide sea of an ocean bucket.

here ya go - found one for ya' - theses at least a half dozen more…

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=285268



I could translate the sarcasm for you if needed…
but in my current sort of - mood funk - I'm experiencing the entire thing differently…
and see it more as them (thejpoppers) having the same - sarcastic expression as myself…
only they are getting paid for it…which then, puts me back on the defense…

It's complicated.

I mean you tell me…

What makes a truer head…

someone who is willing to conform to infiltrate…
or someone who refuses entirely and just stays in the jungle - fortifies the perimeter?

Because I'm not happy when I see the infiltrators
popping up on the inside with the trappings - telling me I'm not moving fast enough.


..should I get on the snipe? and fuck them or what?

<iframe src="/forum/video.php?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDZX4ooRsWs" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden; height:auto; max-width:540px"></iframe>



P.S.that Taylor Swift song sounds great with Boxcutters "Bad You Do" mixed in…

- still not playing it.

...get your Happy, Happy money….

<iframe src="/forum/video.php?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCQ0vDAbF7s" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden; height:auto; max-width:540px"></iframe>

I want to disagree with you guys about minstrelizm…
but I wonder if the media has put this spin on it for me…
because they want it to be seen in a positive light…


My understanding is…
That in the beginning black people were ACTUALLY HATED….
and the first step in getting white people to see them at all…
was to have white men in black face - making fun of them….
JUST TO GET WHITE PEOPLE TO SEE THEM AT ALL.

So the humor allowed people to examine them - their circumstance...
and eventually lead to empathy...

and after a number of years these - popular traveling minstrel shows…
started bringing in ACTUAL black performers…
to further diminish the dislike, distrust...
- and they had a chance to earn real respect for their talents…

And this was the worlds first black superstar…

Image

and no she didn't do blackface through her entire show…
That was just to lighten people off of their prejudice in the beginning.
by acknowledging it. de-threatenizing it…

It was modern dance...

…and I know it's hard, coming from a place of restored confidence and self respect
to see that sort of parody and not be offended…

but - to be angry back then would not have been a good idea…
because THAT would have been the disastrous stereotype to play into…
re-confirming all that negative…

and It's also important to remember all the white supporters and abolitionists
who were acting on the behalf of blacks…black people
in an atmosphere where they were also subject to societal pressure and scrutiny…

but beyond all of that and most importantly
- blacks weren't just in that…they were integral to it
- to the success of a very popular - early manifestation of
what would become - the television variety show.

- and modern entertainment in general. undeniable.

so that's my public service announcement...

and I've already said - I dislike everyone equally these days.

I was getting weirded out calling black people - black people so many times in that post.

Felt like they were some alternative creature there for a minute….
