Black Federalism in the USA
richardmurray replied to richardmurray's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
I will say I am Nationalist/ADOS , a different tribe. ... It would had been better or the future if many leaders in the past especially in the frederick douglass/mlk jr mold embraced other tribes . I think both of them, sadly were too bound in speaking to black people who opposed or disagreed as if they needed to stand with them or agree. I do oppose your positions. But only cause my positions are simply different. It isn't a matter of liking. yes, i love words and don't care for how words ae conveyed in the usa by many. -
Black Federalism in the USA
richardmurray replied to richardmurray's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@ProfD In this community, forum posters, including me + you, have discussed that different tribes of Black people exist in the black populace in the usa. Said groups vary in how they define leadership in the black populace in the usa, all forms/the history of the black populace in the usa all forms/ how to interpret the history of the black populace in the usa, all form/ the varying rise in strength or fall in strength of various black tribes in the black populace in the usa, all forms/ the relationship of black people to the usa government, all forms [colonial british to modernity]/ and more. I accept the existence of varying tribes in the black community in the usa. i don't see it as problematic. I wish more Black people embraced their own tribe in the village instead of the proselytization stance of applying their tribes viewpoint as a standard or reference for all. Losing isn't complacent. I always tell Black children, we lost and usually lose. Losing isn't evil. the NAtive American lost more and still lose today, have they been complacent? the palestinean lost, still losing, it wasn't from complacency. Hell, the Gauls weren't complacent when they lost to the roman empire. Losing does not equal complacency. Yes, Black people tried black colleges/black churches/black cities ala exodusting/ Black movement to Africa/ black urban armed movement/Federal law ala civil rights act that black people allowed themselves to be abused nonviolently, but we didn't get what we worked very hard for in any of those plans. It happens. Korea spent hundreds of years a satrap of china or nippon, that wasn't because of complacency. I find your word choice terrible at times, especially if a black child heard this. I can tell you with 1005 assurity, not all non DOS black folk are totally satisfied with hyper federalism or the usa. I know non DOS black folk who returned to the caribbean or africa. I know DOSers who left for the caribbean or africa. Again, my primary issue with your stance is the inability of you to accept the black populace in the usa is a village with many tribes. Now maybe you want the village to only have one tribe but that goal is an extreme challenge -
@aMhayes made a post about voting rights , linked at the bottom of this post, and as always I think of the history in all questions. The question is always, how do you get from there to here. How did the Black populace that was majority anti white in the british colonial form of the usa become majority pro -usa in modernity,multiple centuries? A long process, constant white opposition/suppression of black individuals/groups/leaders who oppose embracing whites or the USA in the black populace in the USA, a persistence among black individuals or groups who want to embrace whites or the usa, whether financed by whites or not. Now what does what was have to do with black federalism? nothing. But it is important to comprehend how an angry/vengeful populace to whites plus the usa, becomes not. It is important to display to any black children the truth about the black populace in the usa or elsewhere. Now to Federalism, from the minority in the minority of Blacks that sided with white enslavers to found the usa through frederick douglass to Obama/Sharpton/side most Blacks of above normal financial wealth or government, A form of federalism is what they talked about and what black people in the usa rarely say. While white people spoke of the usa alongside state pride, ala the virginian, black people who supported the usa, a minority in the black populace at the usa's infancy, never spoke of state pride but usa pride. Frederick Douglass spoke of USA pride, he never spoke in terms of one state in the union or even a region. The words from Martin Luteher King jr to those like Obama is clearly federal. But of a specific form. This is hyper federalism. I realize now what it is Black people, of a differing philosophy to my own, in the USA want. They want a hyper federalism. A federalism that imposes on state/county/city the only legal protections in the usa that can allow a anti-violent , financially impotent or lesser community the freedom to grow aside a militaristically powerful, financially potent one. That is constitutional law. States laws by default are 50 forms, to varying to rely upon. Counties and cities are worse. But, the federal law is the zone. The problem is leaders among said Black folks never publicly call for hyper federalism. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10615-looming-supreme-court-decision-regarding-voting-redistricting/#comment-63784

Looming Supreme Court Decision Regarding Voting Redistricting
richardmurray replied to aMhayes's topic in Black Literature
@aMhayes Two things, first, You referred to your father^2? One of the problems when Black individuals in the USA today speak on the past, is we forget to mention how anti-white + anti-statian (USA) most black people were. Remember, most free blacks fought against the creation of the usa during the war of secession from the british empire , fought against the maintenance of the usa in Britain's attempt to retake the usa, the garvey movement in the black populace of the usa was more popular than booker t washington's schools or the white jew financed NAACP or the call for embracing the usa by Frederick douglass at the same time. And the garvey movement while nonviolent was 100% anti-usa, it was anti -american, his base idea was the entire american continent: usa/jamaica/brasil is no good for black folks and that the entire Black Continental American community whose forebears were enslaved need to find a home from the place they were ripped from , by white = black hands, which is the continent of africa, notice I didn't say a country in africa but the continent itself. DOSers are not citizens of any particular country, we are citizens of the continent for our forebears came from all over. I end with , Black people since the nascent of the usa have fought to be part of it, to be statian/american, but most black people were anti white + anti statian in the nascent, this is fact. so the black community has slowly developed a majority into the fight you speak of. And why is that important. When you speak of the fight for rights, when you suggest a timelessness you are being unfair to where most black people were philosophically in the past. Second, I once talked to a person from europe who disliked the european union, which is functionally, the articles of confederation applied to most of europe with a financial binding secured by the usa. The question is, can you name one city in south carolina that is financially bustling/ripe/potent and dominated by black people in all sectors: public/private/la enforcement/education/utilities? South Carolina at one time in its history had a majority black legislative body yet today most, including me, can't name one city in south carolina that is completely a positive example of black power. The why is well known, white power. But what is the point? When you speak of the constitution and federalism, what you are speaking about is the federal government of the usa being a greater law enforcer to the states. But you are forgetting that the entire point of the constitution was only to make the federation strong enough to survive, not for federal law to make states impotent or molded by the federal government de facto. I comprehend the strategy of using federal power and trickling it down to the states then counties then cities, but the the whole point of seperation of powers between the states and the federal government is to deny the federal government the function that I think black people like you, like frederick douglass have always wanted. -
yes @aMhayes the point is about the structure of the student body in the two times, they are significantly variant.
-
you mischaractirize, I listtended to the whole thing she was speaking about the people she hired as staffers. Not the black statian community. The issue is , why did she hire them?

Not a stretch, two groups who are the same thing can always be compared. But their variances are not tiny. The students of the 1960s came from basically two primary groups. Whites/Blacks. Asians/LAtinos in the 1960s were much smaller groups than today. That matters on a number of levels, especially organizationally. Today, many students in the usa support the stated demands. THe modern student body in the usa isn't philosophically one. They were not in the past, but the lesser multiracial quality meant they organized easier. Today, it is harder to organize when you have so many varying groups.

Chronicles' Review: I have read quite a few books on the Civil War but none that told the daily life & appalling conditions that slaves had to endure. I see this is the first book in a series & I cannot wait to get the next book. Well done, Mr. Hayes!
richardmurray replied to aMhayes's topic in Black Literature
well, I don't think it is impossible, simply because, the USA is the kind of genre literature. All literature genres in the usa, rightly or wrongly, have many subgenres that cater to vaious communities. I Can see it.- 1 reply

If you love magical girls, struggling slice of life, parodies, and/or struggling slice of life magical girl parodies, you'll love HG, I promise!

Dark Academia
The following is a question and answer I gave concerning the Dark Academia artistic theme.
Do you have any favorite pieces of media that fit the dark academia theme?
I can't say the following film is most beloved or most favorited by me, but I like the films: "the covenant" ... I recall an old legend, I do not know where it is cited online, I read it offline. The old legend, told my way, says that in spain, under a mound somewhere, is a gateway to a classroom. In this classroom, a negative spirit teaches all the students spells pertaining to shadows. The students live there and at the end of the course, the student with the worst grades must stay , their soul locked their forever.
How do you feel about dark academia as an aesthetic? Would you incorporate elements of it into your art or everyday life?
In my mind dark academia and the modern goth artistic movements are similar. I am an open minded artist so I don't have any biases to any aesthetic. I am not one to dress in it, but it is fine if someone else does. I know people offline who are goth or have a similar taste. In terms of my own work, I can't recall anything that is dark academia. But I have written quite a bit. I have written work that deals with people learning magic and doing negative things but I don't see that as dark academia. Just learning negative magic or powers doesn't equate to dark academia for me. IF so, then every sith student in star wards is an example of dark academia and I don't see it that way. I think the larger environment has to bound to the darkness. Having house slytherin doesn't make harry potter dark academia. Now, a story about Durmstrang, the rival school to hogwarts, that teaches the full spectrum of dark magic <if you want me to write something, message me>
Share dark academia art in your comment, whether you made it yourself or a favorite artist did!
I realized I have little to nothing in my deviantart galleries that fits dark academia... here is what I think fits, I am open to read your thoughts on whether you think it does or does not:)
the following is some art of mine I think is Dark Academia, what say you?

yesterday they had on local television a celebration of the 100 , which i had no idea of, before presenting encanto and I thought to myself Disney probably will be only angry at one thing today. And that is how little competition Disney has garnered from other artist in the USA. Yes, Disney the firm, from Walt's time to now is competitive and likes to be the main/sole/primary cartoon source in the usa. But, Disney was correct when he spoke to the artists who wanted to strike years ago. Owning your own business is what he did to free himself from others, as an abused artist. He wanted his workers to do the same but most did not feel or have the strength to do that and I think workers still don't.

American Fiction Is Coming (for the Book World’s Neck) By Zoe Guy, a news writer who covers film, TV, music, and celebrities So you want Black representation in novels? Well, only a certain kind of Black story will sell in American Fiction. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk in the trailer for Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut. He’s a poindexter writer type, frustrated by the fact that stereotypical “urban” novels dominate the Black book market. Nothing could have prepared him for a stop on Sintara Golden’s (Issa Rae) book tour, where the Oberlin-educated writer slips into cartoonish AAVE to read an excerpt from her latest. “Where are our stories? Where is our representation?” she says before reading, “Yo, Sharonda! Girl, you be pregnant again?” A white woman in the audience gives a standing ovation. Monk might be just as upset over the minstrel-lite best sellers as he is over the fact that his own professorial books consistently flop. His ire leads him to jokingly write My Pafology, a book about a hardened gangster, based on the “true story” of his alter ego and pen name Stagg R. Leigh. To his shock, a publisher picks it up. Now, he must become the thing hates — a person who monetizes “Blackness” for white consumption. Worse, a white man just explained what a durag is on a call to discuss the book’s movie poster. The checks clearing might not be enough to tolerate all this. Jefferson’s satire is based on Erasure, Percival Everett’s 2001 novel. American Fiction lands in theaters in December. Stay tuned for real-life publishers asking, “Wait, is this movie about us?” URL https://www.vulture.com/article/american-fiction-trailer-cast-release-date.html MY THOUGHTS As a writer who knew and knows many Black Writers my problem with this film is the lack of a key point. No one is stopping anyone Black from buying the book of the Black writer played by Jeffrey Wright. No one. Jeffrey Wright's character isn't being blocked from making a book, it is on the market. It simply isn't selling. But whose fault is that. If a Black author publishes a book and it isn't selling then the Black book buying community either doesn't like it, hasn't found it, or didn't give it a chance. And the Black book buying community is free to do that but the idea that it is the white publishing firms who are to blame is false. Yes, white publishing firms support Black Urban Caricature literature. Yes, they do. But, in modern times, no one black has any excuse to not find Black literature in all flavors. No one black has any excuse in modern media to not find a work by a black author that suit their taste. Find it folks. And if Black book buyers or film goers need white media firms advertisement campaigns to give black work a chance or to find black works then the problem is black buyers. My answer to the first question above is a book called Capoeira and the original Sun man. I would add my high john the conqueror book, but I think it is too big a publisher. The second is over 50 . IN AMENDMENT The point of the film is the owners of media in the usa , the money, are white+ don't allow for enough width of opportunity for those not white , in particular black folk.. And that is 100% correct. But, outside violence, what is the answer? You can't tell someone how to use their private money so... the only answer that can be controlled by back people is the creation of black publishing companies. But in modernity , the tools to publish independently are greater than ever before, so a proliferation of work from all writers is out there. The ability to have a successful publishing company financially is tough. But the idea that white owned publishing firms simply need to extend their opportunity for non whites is for me, not culturally honest. The USA isn't Star Trek.
