Will do...
Did you know that your melanin argument has origins in 19th C european scientific racism?
And that the cultural construct of 'race' developed at this time out of this supposed logic?
And that the same intellectual climate produced the idea of homosexuality as a socially and biologically dangerous condition (IE - the same argument made by proponents of the melanin argument)?
Have you ever noticed the irony in arguing for one form of equity and against another? Or in using the very arguments devised to support white (partriarchal) supremacy and social control?
Have you ever thought about how homophobia (like misogyny) only serves to divide oppressed people?
Have you read enough on AF to know the whole point of its futurism is to escape these ill-logics?
Do you just hijack other threads because you're worried that no one will reply if you start your own?
yeah i did know about the melanin thing being discovered in the 19th c and that people used it as an excuse for all sorts of atrocities based on a supposed superiority...
...as for the race thing are you talking bout eugenics ???
I thought homosexuality was way more accepted back then expecially in higher social circles but I can understand the easy jump from hating blacks to hating gays in one foul hit for what it's worth, I am far more tolerant than most, you have no idea . I do have a problem with white patriarchal supremacy and control for what they did to my people...
Yes I have thought about divide and conquer using whatever means neccessary like mysogyny and homophobia, it only works if you buy into it or can't see it for what it is...hiphop is full of it
i've read a bit on afro futurism, prolly not enough though got any links ??? escaping the ill-logics using music as a means to breakdown the culture barriers is fine until it gets co-opted by the system to promote its own agenda like how hiphop got jacked, souled out and is now just a marketing tool for the multinationals to promote consumerism, hope it doesn't happen to dubstep...
...funnily enough I saw DJ spooky rework a old 20's klan film as part of a "live" show but it just seemed like tokenism and pandering to the whole high art market and the beats weren't that flash
I don't know that i do hijack threads just go off on tangents and back again, sorry that's just how I am, not really into complying to set rules of behaviour...
...not really into starting threads, blogging, myspace or host sites and not really worried about anyone answering me either it's more about just putting shit out there as therapy almost and letting other people deal with it
big up sizzle lets hear your beats cos HELL_SD isn't about spiritual music it's another form of therapy for us and an experiment...
...I kinda prefer to keep spirituality out of dance music cos it's wasted on the drug zombies
and matt you're a funny cunt why not come to NZ and see how it all works for yourself I'll show you how us polynesians do, you'll love it..
