Denmark Vesey said...: d.h.,

You make an interesting point.

However, have you considered the possibility that not all women needed to be "convinced" to allow themselves to serve as sexual objects. Many of them do it with surprisingly little urging.

Also, is society really "male dominated"? I know it's said to be so ad nauseam, but other than having been the feminine mantra of the past 40 years, what reason is there to believe either gender dominates society? I suspect there exists an equilibrium.

Women do quite well in the arena of group identity politics.; Jun 21, 2007, 5:39:00 PM

Actually, no. Not as far as African American society is concerned. That society has become dominated by the female.

But not by the woman.; Jun 21, 2007, 6:21:00 PM

Mike. This is 2007. Not 1957.

Where is this mythical ""African American Society"?

There really is no such thing as "African American Society" anymore.

That is a cliched abstraction.

A few "hoods". A few black "sub-divisions". A few black restaurants where Negros like to congregate. A few barber shops and the Jamaica Day Parade. A few big black churchs in Atlanta.

Other than that "African American Society" exists within the rest of American Society and that is in the television.

There is no African American Society. There is only African American Flavored Media.; Jun 21, 2007, 7:38:00 PM

That is the unbridled female and there is nothing better.

We feel the rhythm and we jerk our bodies...
I am a lot more conservative than that, but it is something that we can definitely trace back through our culture...

The white girl...that was just a sad, sad attempt...goodness...; Jun 22, 2007, 2:51:00 PM

You do realize it's a function of the white supremacy paradigm to make human sexuality something to be included in the divide and conquer power struggle.

So everyone can't say it's just good clean fun, because many people have so many hangups about sexuality, theirs and other folks, that they will turn a scene like the sisters dancing into something vulgar or put a chauvinistic spin on it.

@DV, what's the difference between 2007 and 1957 in re: African American society and culture. Are you saying we had some sort of society/culture then that we no longer have? If we truly don't have one now then logic says we never did. Can a people without a culture ever develop any sort of group identity or unity?

@skip, We may all be of the human race but all anecdotal evidence points to a deficiency in those humans of the lighter skinned persuasion that makes the majority of them rhythm challenged. Not all of them are so afflicted, but the poor girl on this vid most definitely is. Luckily for her, there truly is someone for everyone. Go get 'em tiger!; Jun 22, 2007, 10:04:00 PM

Have you ever heard of Gene Kelly or
Mikhail B. or Fred Astaire ?
Not sure where you get your anecdotes from.
You sound like a typical bigot to me.

No.

I am saying 50 years of mass media, mass education and mass consumerism has homogenized Americans into one giant monolith of conformist consumers differentiated only by the illusion of group identity.

"If we truly don't have one now then logic says we never did." Exodus

Logic "says" no such thing. All good things must come to an end.

"Can a people without a culture ever develop any sort of group identity or unity?" Exodus

Nope.

Especially not if those "people" average 42.5 hours of television a week.; Jun 23, 2007, 6:52:00 PM

LOL. Ex and Fisher, take your intellectual ass whipping like men.

This is school for you.

That NeoNegro / Pseudo Conservative / Hate other black men politics you try to peddle is a lame hustle.

"The Afro-American Society" ...

We don't even have an "Afro-American" newspaper let alone a "society".

Come on Fish. Get the fuck out of here with that Claudine shit. You too smart for that.

And don't get embarrassed and bitter when I call you on it. That's not a good look.; Jun 25, 2007, 10:02:00 AM
Anonymous said...: What is up with Skip...you think everyone is a bigot huh?

Webster defines bigot as-
a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

How is what I said filled with hate or intollerance? How am I devoted soley to my own opinion and prejudice? You seem to be the intolerant one since you are calling people who don't agree with you, 'bigots and dumb asses'...way to take the moral high road...

Your examples of how white people have rhythm is Fred Astaire and Mikal B?? Interesting...true enough they have their own set of rhythm, but I don't know if they have the rhythm necessary to get their dancehall swerve on... I'm just sayin!

By the way all humans are not the same...we have individual identities based on our life experience and exposure...culture makes us different. I am vastly different culturally than my white friends...even though we were raised in the same type of environments...; Jun 26, 2007, 2:16:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
