Black History Month 2023 Q&A
What Black artists have inspired you, and what about their work do you find inspiring?
For writing: Zora Neale Hurston+ August Wilson+ Dwayne McDuffie
For drawing: Jean Michele Basquiat
For sculpting: Dahomey sculpture artist , Edmonia Lewis
For dance: Sammy Davis Jr, Gregory Hines, Michael Jackson
For photography: Gordon Parks
For Music: Louis Armstrong, Marvin Gaye, Sweet Honey on the Rock, Sade
I have more but they came first to mindZora Neale Hurston for cognizing the value of Black Art that was being forgotten or lost during her own time, while creating art that cherished an aspect of the Black community that wasn't as in favor as other black artist or white owned media cared for.
August Wilson for the way in which Black communal life is presented complexly while unaffrontingly, I find too many Black artists write Black people as weapons.
Dwayne McDuffie for influence on Milestone and his width of imagination.
Basquiat for his unique art way and being a fellow New Yorker, surviving for a time, the life of an artists, which can be tough
Dahomey sculpture's for an art work I like a lot they made and it is poignant to me personally.
Edmonia Lewis for never quitting while having two elements of herself that she had to accept met various resistance, and her cleopatra is magnificent.
Sammy Davis jr for how multitalented he was while always a dancer at heart
Gregory Hines for how he always presented tap dance in a street way
Michael Jackson for making dance mandatory in musical acts after him
Gordon Parks for how long it took him to begin to make it, in his 40s but he never stopped trying and reached out creatively when he did, not settling
Louis Armstrong for being relevant artistically while watching his art form change/grow/morph throughout his entire life
Marvin Gaye for telling it like it is with his art
Sweet Honey on the Rock for the soul in their voice
Sade cause she never forces the sound.
I have many Black artist I am inspired by.I hope I can do as they did to me to someone else Black.
What are some of your favorite artworks that depict African American culture?
The People Can Fly written by Virginia Hamilton and illustrated by Leo and Dianne Dillon. Virginia Hamilton in the spirit of Zora Neale Hurston kept alive stories that many Black homes had forgotten on their own intention. And she rewrote them lovely. Leo Dillon cause working with his white wife, Dianne, they just had a great sense of making art that didn't seem imitative but was accessible in intent to all.
A few private works in my home.
In what ways do you think art can be used to foster understanding and appreciation across cultures?
Art by default is messages from one or many individuals about their heritage<what they carry > or culture < what they grow> to whomever access it.
I argue that art is meant to convey, the comprehension or appreciation some want art to instill in those who access art must come from the accessors themselves.
I like the works of Ravel or the marches of the national socialist part of germany. But neither of said artful acts is why I don't attack french people or why I don't concur to the Nazi party.
Art unfortunately is asked to be the peaceful bludgeon and that is unfair.
The best way to utilize art is to allow art, the freedom of art. Said freedom will generate art work that you may oppose or dislike heavily, in my case Birth of a nation by Demille. But, it exposes the truth of the communities that create them.
And rightly or wrongly, the truth is the beginning to any peaceful comprehension or appreciation between any, even if said duo is never reached in part or whole by one who access art.If you are interested in my writing , consider the following

I only have two points to make, outside that enjoy as you well 1) the haircut from guile:) I want to see somebody wear that:) 2) Chun-li's arms!!! ahh why? why is it so hard for people to realize that a woman fighter's body is not going to look like barbie. Look at female olympian runners or weight lifters or acrobats, all of them have developed arms, veins/muscles. Look at chun li, come on!!! Who does this chun-li fight in the street against? pooh bear?:) P.S. I don't have an issue with Balrog. He is meant to be an older fighter.

My answers to the following Valentine's Day 2023 questions are in the link, but the questions are the following What medium or style of art are you most obsessed with? What love-themed artwork(s) do you believe are the most powerful, and why? Has love or obsession inspired you to create a work of art? If so, share it in your comment and talk about how the feeling inspired it! https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2225&type=status

What medium or style of art are you most obsessed with?
None, I am not obsessed to any medium or style of art. But the art I will like to be satisfied in creating that I am farthest from is literature based games. But I am romancing it, so to speak.What love-themed artwork(s) do you believe are the most powerful, and why?
I will say love songs are the most powerful from love themed artworks. Why? At their best they are a blend of two heart felt passions wrapped in one.
The words when best, have a comprehension that can be sung by a mute lover through their eyes or a lonely yearning person calling out in isolation.
But, when a vocalist is at their best, they can utilize the words to emit frequencies that massage the doubts or dismissals from one who has no memory of a loving touch or provide paths for memories in the wind to re-enter the silverhaired.
Unlike the film, the song need not be seen.
Unlike the painting, the song touches the body.
Unlike the book, the song has a voice when one can't imagine it on their own.
If you are interested in some love songs, consider the list in the following work, I suggest Nat King Cole, Fly Me To The Moon
https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Album-Yourself-Submit-935178300Has love or obsession inspired you to create a work of art? If so, share it in your comment and talk about how the feeling inspired it!

For a decade now we've been in the game taking risks and telling stories of Black heroes, gods, protagonists, and antagonists that challenge the status quo. A Black owned imprint enlisting and creating among dedicated comic folks with a passion for storytelling and a desire to bring fresh, exciting content to our readers. But just like many indie publishers, our output is not where we want it to be. We need to create more, produce more of our specialized content. This campaign is a chance for us to meet that need.

California Reparations Is A Trick/Trap
richardmurray replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Well from the article I read, the representatives of california didn't say they did it for slavery. I paraphrase, they did it for reconstruction and post reconstruction. And since the usa is a federation states are individual. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2216&type=status -
@ProfDyou asked an ultimate/final question in your original post? This is the most important question and everyone knows the answer. Some individuals have it up to here with their environment and have no more hope or patience in it getting better. it is a simple thing. Whether it is priest burning themselves alive or people jumping off of rooftops or people going out in a gun blaze, they have quit on life. The question is, is a person mentally unhealthy when they quit on life? In the usa at least, it is advertised a person is mentally unhealthy when they quit on life, whether they harm others or not. Is the usa media true? The last two questions are key in my view.

Tyre Nichols--Memphis Cops Fired & Arrested
richardmurray replied to ProfD's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Troy no need for sorries. I think miscommunication in a literary book club has a little warrant. You speak truth , I will only piggyback and say, for most Black folk we need to start now. Which is why I say we all should write journals. I have written many for my journeys full of many things, from simple prose thoughts to poetry or more. Yes, many of us don't know our sanguine past, but how many of us can say we have anything for our sanguine future? Lets get all of us to make diaries or journals for the future. -

Tyre Nichols--Memphis Cops Fired & Arrested
richardmurray replied to ProfD's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Troy I apologize for the confusion. Based on my grammatical comprehension I did not suggest I was the abuser but only the abused aside a witness to others being abused. I assess our community in the usa another way. I do not think black people in the usa need help being informed. When you say much do you mean most of our history or least of our history? For the record, I never said the culture I described is limited to Black people whose forebears were enslaved in the usa , but I was only communicating concerning Black people. I don't know about your american culture assertion. You may be correct. I have many questions to that assertion. -
Tyre Nichols--Memphis Cops Fired & Arrested
richardmurray replied to ProfD's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Pioneer1 For the record I never said I was a victim, I said I saw or experienced alot of law enforcement abuse. So you have no need to be sad. And the reason connects to your second query In my experience a black person's intelligence or composure has nothing to do with law enforcements relation to them. Black people who had a nonviolent plus peaceful composure have been killed by law enforcement in no way other than Black people who had a violent or warful composure. Black people whose intelligence some, not me , will rank grandly or absently, based on pieces of paper have been injured by law enforcement. I will not share cause they don't matter, as Tulsa to Till to Tyre prove. Talking about it doesn't bring back the dead, nor generate peace, nor solve historic problems. Talking about it will not resolve any individuals woes, or collective grievances. I said you have no reason to be sad because the Black community in the USA guided the Black community in the USA to its current situation. I restate, Black people guided ourselves to this situation. I can expound but I rather be focused than verbose. The individual culture in the modern Black community isn't what it was born as by the majority of Black leaders at the end of the war between the states. The Individual culture isn't trying to delete relation between black peoples in the USA as much as define Black individual relationships to all other individuals, singularly. And while it has led to inevitable participation in the USA like a Black president in the USA, and will lead to more Black elected leaders in the USA to non majority white voting populaces, it has led to inevitable frictions in the Black community in the USA, like Tyre side Black law enforcement his murderers. No philosophy is all positive or all negative. I restate, the Black community has guided itself for its own betterment to the culture most in it adhere to, but like all philosophies it has positives or negatives. One of the negatives of the individualistic culture is frictions of a lethal nature between groups. -
