Day 2 part 1 Virtual Scholarly Presentations on Conference Theme scholars : dionne bennett, levi catoe , russell nurick, hosted by thabdi lewis, jason hendrikson, lea byrd levi catoe the literature accessed or utilized to children in school settings in the usa maintains a phenotypical order with blacks under whites. He uses as an example phyllis wheatley. Oral history he suggest can be used to aid in strengthening the black vision of the history or times of the usa and offering a opposing parallel to the literature in scholastic settings in school mentioned before. He suggests black people are deemed against civilization but I argue, that it is better to say, the black populace in the usa born from the enslaved have usually to their own detriment pushed the combined populace in the usa to civilization in spite of white terror, maintaining black hate. I wish he would had stated the destruction of the native american. The usa first pillar is the destruction of the native american to literally obtain their land,and delete their claim or at least the ability of them to claim with violence. But all to often black people in their desire to be part of the usa or their belief in the usa myhtological destination don't mention the native american because that sin of the usa is unrepairable. russell nurick focuses on bernice mcfadden work sugar. Good point on sugar, its browner color and the processed white. and uses the bok to emphasize the strategy of getting others to think a way. And how it is pervasaive between phenotypical groups but also in each phenotypical group. He goes through how mcfadden uses pearl to speak on black women's view to themselves,their suffering in the usa locally plus the condition of the black populace on earth aside the white populace. I think many black viewers are not interested in viewing such graphic physical abuses, as in the book sugar. Same to octavia butler's kindred. Black people and white folk seem to be able to accept the physical violence of the past in the usa easier in book form than video form.The thing that is absent in many fictions by black people to fisctional persons is how they act like a punching bag to white violence, but never come to a violent rebuttal or an exodus plan. In the end these Dionne Bennett The black populace literary exploration to black movements document the central role of Black people to making the usa what it is today. Frederick Douglass, pernile joseph, angela davis she use as examples. The literary intellectual tradition is the foundation of usa's modern form. She wants to recenter black american literature as central to the path to the modern form of the usa. She echoes joseph's a goal of shared multiracial narrative to the genesis or identity of the usa's essence is needed to bring the usa to a place of functional unity among the demographs in the usa. Black literature has defined plus redefined the government of the usa and the liberational democracy is embedded in the literature of black writers and the destination of what the usa can be or needed to be for all benefit. She says anti inclusion anti multiversity anti equity is anti democracy or anti american. She uses Sojourney Truth's speech and the hardship of women in getting their voice heard in the battle for gender rights in the context of phenotypical battles and beyond. Being a female warrior doesn't make her battle less than or her value less than black men or any one. Frederick Douglass believed in the usa as the cornerstone of a united humanity through positive interworking or peace. Joseph says the laws to blacks from whites proves black humanity. Didn't know Angela Davis plus Condaleeza Rice both knew one of the four little girls annihilated by bombing in a church. She thinks Angela Davis is not credited enough. I concur. The intersectional of phenotype side gender is underrated as a factor in the legal structure of the usa. She also refers to Davis explanation of how the prison is the method to get rid of what people don't want to see. The majority of whites or majority of blacks never wanted the usa that the minority of black or white leaders have been able to guide the usa to be. Garveyism had more adherent, working adherents than frederick douglass or booker t washington or web dubois or others, because most black people in the usa never liked the usa or whites and always wanted to kill the whites or the usa. the KKK is the largest organization post war between the states because most whites always wanted the usa to be a trick to the non white christian populace in humanity where non white christians are used for white christian empowerment in the usa eternally. She is wrong, the rule of the people in the usa is centered on anti inclusion anti multiversity anti equity. The problem is the usa's form of the rule of the people is designed on one group dominating other groups. But a minority of blacks/whites/native americans want the democracy of the usa to be centered on inclusion/equity/multiversity and speak on the democracy of the usa as if it already was, when it wasn't. Prisons since the war between the states is the way within the white populace originally and then black populace or modern immigrants populace get to not see the problems they don't want to see. Original Questions thought as listening Question : Levi Catoe, can the empowerment of the black populace in the usa in some way repair the earlier sin from the whites in the colonies or the usa later toward the native american? Question: Russell Nurick, What are your thoughts to most high end prostitutes in new orleans in its past stating a lie that they had partial black ancestry? Question: Dionne Bennett, has the failure of black men in leadership positions to embrace black women as equals made the movement by blacks in modulating the usa's democractic form too slow? https://www.clascholars.org/ presented questions Levi Catoe, will the native american populace be healed in the usa at the goal of the black populace ? [he answered the question, he speaks for both naturally] Russell Nurick, what are your thoughts to whites lying about black ancestry in history, like prostitutes in old new orleans? ->I'd be curious to know what particular historical lies you are referring. If you care to elaborate. Russell, yes, in storyville in old new orleans, most high prostitutes were white absent any black ancestry, but many of them said they did because white customers had the myth of black sexuality embedded in them. ->Oh wow, I was not aware of that, but am disturbed, though not, surprised byit. Russell , ah ok, take a look , that theme of advertised black sexuality side how white people commercialize it. Dionne Bennett, I view black music as poetry, I think you do as well, what needs to happen to get more to do so? Dionne Bennett, Do most black leaders in modern usa embrace black women in their struggles equally, with equity? Dionne Bennett, no group votes in high numbers all the time. how can a black populace that can't dictate who is elected on its vote alone protect the DEI agenda if a white populace can vote for an elected official on its own that is opposed?
