  5. It's implied( like cultural funding) that it is for the target audience.
  6. Education, Jobs, Cultural Funding. I think the main problem Afro-Americans have is lack of indentity and or rather homeland. However you could argue that is hat has made as the most copied but not financially rewarded. I say Black folks in the US are Culture Whores. We create it but get pimped. Although that may not bring about a golden age. Since the system is designed for inequality. However there have been people who make it work. Although if you try to share the wealth there will be Sorrow Tears and Blood. @Chevdove Thanks for the mention

  9. I worked with a women and she said she could Not respect a man that did everything she asked. My guess is that some women will like a man that's kind and gentle but not soft. I think Chris Rock said in the bedroom he called his partner a b!+ch. Buthe that's the only place he can say it. I also had to check my boss's boss. Since it was just the two of us he didn't mention it and did he disrespect me again. Really

  13. bell hooks Greg Tate Samuel Delaney In that order although my preference would be the reverse order. I would even put in Malcolm Gladwell as journalists/writers who could do the job. As an aside have you seen the conversation between Maya Angelou and Dave Chapelle?
  14. Curtis Mayfield said the movie Superfly didn't glorify drug dealers, it was a story about redemption.
  15. Thanks Troy I'll put together a list over the next week.
  16. What about sending it by ship it takes a month or two. I did that when i bought books at the Strand Used Books and had them shipped to Australia. There are a few books that I'm interested James Baldwin, Octavia Butler and Samuel Delaney mostly.

  21. Sounds like a version of Blacker than Thou This paper attempts to place the African immigrant and the African American in the context of their conditions in the United States. It addresses the issue of Americanization and the development of multiple identities that is fundamental to the contestation of “Blackness” in the United States. More importantly, the study discusses resource allocation and appropriation as critical to understanding the schisms between the African immigrant and the African American, focusing especially on how the conflict and tension potentially benefits other racial categories. It highlights the fact that conflict and tension between both groups result directly from the dominant White racial framing, wherein powerless groups unable to effectively challenge the forces that oppress them, attack themselves or people like themselves. To explain this complex interaction between Whites, African immigrants, and African Americans, this paper develops the theory of manipulative deflection, the central tenet of which is the subjective experience of deprivation that diminishes the construction of a holistic Black identity and produces confusion and conflict among Blacks in the United States.
