  1. Not really but Spidey in the comics is a smart aleck. @Nnamdi Azikiwethe style is similar without the lines that Kirby drew. I wasn't found of Kirby for that very reason. Also do you know the name of that piece of sculpture on the book cover? Season two of American Gods really showcased the Ananzi and the Black Gods, then he was removed from the story.
  2. @Mel Hopkins you know Spiderman is a rip off of Anansi who is very clever.
  3. The Director of Black Panther also did Fruitvale Station with Michael B Jordan. Raising Dion is also interesting which is produced by Michael B. Jordan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6koPaImHzY
  4. All of the commentators on this page live in very different Americas. So the America that you want to see may seem like chaos to Pioneer and the revesrse may also be true. And as long as their is division little will change.
  5. The difference between Herman Cain and Trump, is that Cain actually looked fit. HIV doesn't kill people but it compromises their immunne system. We all have different opinions on Donald Trump that are irreconcilable.
  6. Not certain how I Black Panther is a Black faced White Man that isn't from Africa yet can talk to the animals and the locals are afraid. Oddly Black Panther wasn't one of my favourites. I was into Mythology so I liked Thor. Luke Cage aka Powerman is way more problematic for me than Black Panther. In his debut he beat the Fantastic Four. A Genius, master Tactician and King of a self sufficient Nation. But I am biased I enjoyed most of the Marvel movies except the Fantastic Four. On another note I also found travelling opened my mind to America and my place in it. Which African Authors di you have in mind?
  7. I believe there's a tribe where one woman has more than one husband
  8. Stanley Crouch wrote this album off, this track is Blisteringly Hot.
  9. KmStanley Crouch may have not understood Miles Davis Bitches Brew. It is a scorcher.
  10. Maybe a foundation should be inclusive that permits all people to express themselves in their totality.
  11. There will be rather big problems in November.
  12. I also was not a fan of some of his commentary. However after listening to this and reading his words he is clearly an independent thinker. And his points are as worthy ody debate as they are provocative.
  13. You can tell by his delivery he is a poet and he was also a musician.
  14. I didn't know he was an intellectual and social critic. I wrote him off because he dismissed Miles Davis and was praising Wynton Marsalis. I just assumed he was a conservative and so I didn't pay attention to him. I just watched a documentary on Baldwin, and I have seen people quote Baldwin I don't think we will be quoting Kanye despite his celebrity.
  15. I think I may have heard him in person. I also had heard of more of the white performers . However I was more familiar with the Black artists . Even though though I was hanging out with an artsy crew I made a concerted effort to see Black artists . I felt it was important to see certain artists before either of us died . I also had low financial obligations. Stanley Crouch points out that we are more familiar with the white copy than the same Black originator . I can name more actors in the last thirty years years than politicians throughout history .
  16. ... or anywhere else.
