This is the hair style that is apparently linked to "black militarism" in the (white) american imagination.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176494635283372181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-40395009592733633582008-07-14T10:28:00.000-07:002008-07-14T10:28:00.000-07:00for more, check out racialicious' "the new yorker ...for more, check out racialicious' "the new yorker & hipster racism':<BR/><BR/>http://www.racialicious.com/2008/07/14/the-new-yorker-and-hipster-racism/Jamilahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291434727158884556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-23045574198280317422008-07-14T10:08:00.000-07:002008-07-14T10:08:00.000-07:00this shit is soo whack. crazy, 'cause i never read...this shit is soo whack. crazy, 'cause i never read the new yorker. but yesterday for some reason i made my way to their site and started reading an article on obama's ascendence to the top of chi town -- and national -- politics. i didn't finish it, and didn't read enough to have an opinion on the article itself, but this picture/'analysis' is so counterproductive to any useful discussion. i can tell all it's going to say in it's attempt to be 'satircal' is that obama's not muslim, and michelle's not a gun-toting militant.<BR/><BR/>but that's not the point! why is it so scary to be muslim? that would open up an entire discussion on war, occupation, colonization and privilege that no left-leaning white liberal wants to talk about (not even to mention the fact that obama's father, and some of his nigerian relatives, might actually be/have been muslim -- funny how he's forced to claim blackness but steer as far away from islam as he can). AND michelle's comments about not being a proud american most of her life are true -- and shared by millions of folks, including myself. this type of superficial mainstream discussion is tired and hella ineffective.Jamilahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291434727158884556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880575224552835226.post-8857146265602450042008-07-13T22:08:00.000-07:002008-07-13T22:08:00.000-07:00Ill start:1) Michelle Obama's machine gun ...
