Our race is crazy sensitive so when someone non-black, even of its a PoC, portrays a black celebrity or role we get riled up. And hide yer kids hide yer wife if a white man plays a black character comedically not even disrespectfully.
Well I feel a little uneasy when a white man plays a black...

I’ve never really given it much thought either. I don’t like the idea of policing multiracial people’s identity though, and that is what it seems like to me to call Armisen’s Obama ‘brown face.’ Doesn’t seem like a fair line to arbitrarily draw
That’s how I feel. As someone who is mixed race, I...

thehabitualwordsmith replied to your post: how do you feel about Fred Armisen dressing in brown face to play Obama on SNL?
God forbid Fred Armisen sets us back 400 years back doing a dead-on impression of Obama. Jeeeez…
LOL
I honestly never saw a probably with it. Besides the fact that it is dead on, I know he’s a person of color so I never thought about it.

Hmm I never thought to consider Fred Armisen’s portrayal of Obama on SNL as “brown face”. He does many different characters because he is multiracial and looks “ambiguous” enough to do so. If we call what he does brown face, what about Maya Rudolph? She places multiple racial characters and she’s multiracial.
Do multiracial/mixed/other people of color get a...

Having my own working phone again is great. I mean it’s sad how much I use my phone…not even to talk to people, but to stay connected on the web so I can know what’s going on in this fucked up world. Like a journalist I guess.
But yeah I’m glad I have my phone.

Why is the idea of a white woman playing Whitney Houston in her biopic even an option?
You don’t see any women of color playing famous white women.
Could you even imagine a women of color playing someone like Marilyn Monroe?
I don’t think so.

Angela Davis on violence
when she was in the California State Prison - 1972
Interviewer: A year ago the black panthers were much more active. We heard much more about that type of struggle. Is the time of the black panthers past?
Angela Davis: The black panthers still exist, and the black panthers are still extremely active in the Oakland community and communities all over the country. I’m not sure whether or not you are aware of what is now happening in the black panther party and the kinds of things that the members of that party are doing now.
Interviewer: No but tell me.
Angela Davis: First of all, if you’re gonna talk about a revolutionary situation, you have to have people who are physically able to wage revolution, who are physically able to organize and physically able to do all that is done.
Interviewer: But the question is more, how do you get there? Do you get there by confrontation, violence?
Angela Davis: Oh, is that the question you were asking? Yeah see, that’s another thing. When you talk about a revolution, most people think violence, without realizing that the real content of any revolutionary thrust lies in the principles and the goals that you’re striving for, not in the way you reach them. On the other hand, because of the way this society’s organized, because of the violence that exists on the surface everywhere, you have to expect that there are going to be such explosions. You have to expect things like that as reactions. If you are a black person and live in the black community all your life and walk out on the street everyday seeing white policemen surrounding you… When I was living in Los Angeles, for instance, long before the situation in L.A ever occurred, I was constantly stopped. No, the police didn’t know who I was. But I was a black women and I had a natural and they, I suppose thought I might be “militant.” And when you live under a situation like that constantly, and then you ask me, you know, whether I approve of violence. I mean, that just doesn’t make any sense at all. Whether I approve of guns. I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Some very, very good friends of mine were killed by bombs, bombs that were planted by racists. I remember, from the time I was very small, I remember the sounds of bombs exploding across the street. Our house shaking. I remember my father having to have guns at his disposal at all times, because of the fact that, at any moment, we might expect to be attacked. The man who was, at that time, in complete control of the city government, his name was Bull Connor, would often get on the radio and make statements like, “niggers have moved into a white neighborhood. We better expect some bloodshed tonight.” And sure enough, there would be bloodshed. After the four young girls who lived, one of them lived next door to me…I was very good friends with the sister of another one. My sister was very good friends with all three of them. My mother taught one of them in her class. My mother—in fact, when the bombing occurred, one of the mothers of one of the young girls called my mother and said, “Can you take me down to the church to pick up Carol? We heard about the bombing and I don’t have my car.” And they went down and what did they find? They found limbs and heads strewn all over the place. And then, after that, in my neighborhood, all the men organized themselves into an armed patrol. They had to take their guns and patrol our community every night because they did not want that to happen again. That’s why, when someone asks me about violence, I just, I just find it incredible. Because what it means is that the person who’s asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa.

Because of how much his songs mean to me and how they remind me of ever piece of bullshit I’ve gone through…and all of that shit I have yet to to go through. His music reminds me of all the beauty and all the pain that’s in this world, and it’s starting to fucking hurt.

Look at the video again and you can see, hear, and feel the contempt in Santorum’s voice. He hates the president. To his core. It was unfettered, unabashed, unfiltered and utter, the utterest hatred for Obama I’ve ever heard. There was no uncomfortable laughter to mask it with, as Romney might employ; there was no soundbite of manufactured outrage, as personified by the hollow...

I wish I could sing. That’s one of those things I wasn’t blessed with. I mean I can carry a tune, but my voice isn’t great by itself. Even if I had a sweet softer voice like a Corinne it would be cool. I would sing all the time to my nonexistent boyfriend. But I can deal with just writing them poetry.
