This Week’s Paycheck Will Go To Valentine’s Day | Madame Noire | Black Women's Lifestyle Guide | Black Hair | Black Love

"You may think that Valentine’s Day is the day that lovers look forward, but it’s retailors who are rejoicing. According to Reuters, 59 percent of adults say they will celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, and the National Retail Federation estimates Americans will spend about $18 billion in celebration."

my response:

i don't participate in this hallmark holiday and any others for that matter. why not show your love for your partner(s) on a daily basis? valentine's day is yet another example of how shallow and disconnected we are as a people when we buy products that perpetuate blood diamonds, chocolate/sugar slavery, and conflict flowers to name a few to express our love on the same day as every other consumer culture zombie.

Denying Racism is the New Racism

Denying Racism is the New Racism

"this new movement of denying racism is just as toxic as blatant racism. Denying our past can only doom us to repeat it, therefore it is critical that we not only educate ourselves on the role race has played in America’s past, but that we also expose those who purposely try to deny these historical facts."

i love watching films and especially independent or foreign films for various reasons, but one in particular is that i like that they break from the typical white supremacist, heteronormative, partriarchial trope that hollywood is in(famous) for. however, after watching this film last night i realized that i prefer hollywood's omission of people of african descent from films over these depictions:

i expected to see this doll during this scene and of course it was carried around (in juxtaposition to a white barbie-esk doll) by the little girl for the duration of the film

i had a feeling the film was about to get ugly with this man's forewarning...

2pac had his moments, but was damn conflicted for sure! common, "poker face." talib and mos are a little too mainstream for me like all of them for that matter, but talib does come through w/far more SOLID material than mos. however, talib didn't say shit in response to busta's homophobia in "hip hop: beyond beats and rhymes." black thought, "what they do." david banner? ludacris? maybe just ludacris' character in "crash," where he referred to mainstream hip hop as "music of the oppressor." lauryn hill, she's cool. lupe, obama is a terrorist when you consider his foreign policy (i.e. backing israel, school of americas, afghanistan, etc.) and voting doesn't work so i'm in agreement with him and talib on that one! a better example of a conscious (way more radical) and yes conflicted artist would be immortal technique. dead prez belonged in this mix, but if you want artists who are just as thorough and not caught up by the mainstream madness: lowkey, akala, silent knight, jasari x, seven star, collective efforts, invincible, akua naru, sa-roc, rebel diaz, gabriel teodros, mr. lif, akrobatik, boog brown, and countless other emcees we need to know about!

“Tower Heist” Reveals Nostalgia for Racist Stereotypes in Hollywood | Caroline Heldman's Blog

‎"To summarize, Eddie Murphy making oodles of money as a successful director, producer, writer, and actor in films featuring him as a doctor, a veterinarian, a dedicated father, and the voice of a beloved donkey in the second highest-grossing animated film of all time is considered some sort of failure, but playing a jive-talking thief is redemptive. Huh?"

"Eddie Murphy called out the movie industry’s racism at the 1988 Academy Awards during his presentation of the Best Picture award: “I’m going to give this award, but black people will not ride the caboose of society and we will not bring up the rear anymore. I want you to recognize that.” Two decades later, Murphy finds himself riding the caboose, furnished by the creators of Tower Heist."

If the media investigates every accusation of affairs or sexual harassment for Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich, shouldn’t they investigate accusations that Paul knew about a white supremacist plot to violently overthrow the government of a small Black island, especially with Paul’s other connections to white supremacists?"

"Jackson, historians and just about every American Indian in the universe will recall, was the architect of the Indian Removal Act, America’s legalization of ethnic cleansing. He signed the legislation on May 28, 1830. The Indian Removal Act resulted seven years later in the removal of 46,000 Indigenous Peoples from the lands east of the Mississippi, and opened up 25 million acres of land “to white settlement and to slavery,” according to PBS. The area was home to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole nations."

"The reason why this video strikes a nerve among white people is it puts a mirror up onto the racial slights many of them have committed. This video forces white people to think about how much whiteness, forms of oppression and othering of people of color has been embedded into their brains. The video and the examples of the microaggressions shatters the flawed notion that racism can only be classified as the obvious acts–the cross burnings, the hate crimes, the painting of racial slurs on property–and not the small, everyday occurrence that can often break a person of color’s spirit…"

"Lucas hinted that if Red Tails was a failure, it could have negative repercussions for black filmmakers: 'I realize that by accident I’ve now put the black film community at risk [with Red Tails, whose $58 million budget far exceeds typical all-black productions],” he said. “I’m saying, if this doesn’t work, there’s a good chance you’ll stay where you are for quite a while. It’ll be harder for you guys to break out of that [lower-budget] mold. But if I can break through with this movie, then hopefully there will be someone else out there saying let’s make a prequel and sequel, and soon you have more Tyler Perrys out there.'

"Interesting enough, Red Tails was created by the same guy who brought us Jar Jar Binks, the computer-animated character who appeared in the Star Wars prequels and which generated much controversy over its racially charged, Rastafarian mimicry. "

oh yeah, "Oh great, more Tyler Perrys." i completely agree!! fuck tyler perry and the last thing the world needs is more like him!!

"Long gone are the days that we should have to feel a need to prove anything to Hollywood. If anything, it is the reverse. And if Hollywood is as racist as we all know it is why should we feel the need to let the decision of what images gets green-lighted continue to be placed in the hands of those, who don’t see us as human beings? I mean, the last time Hollywood took interest in the black market we got a bunch of one-dimensional Blaxiploitation and gangster flicks in both the 70s and in the 90s."

2012-01-21T11:38:00.000-08:00

For Many Latinos, Race Is More Culture Than Color - NYTimes.com

"Some studies have found that African-Latinos tend to be significantly more supportive of government-sponsored health care and much less supportive of the death penalty than Latinos who identify as white, a rift that is also found in the broader white and black populations."

"Some of the latest research, however, shows that many Latinos — like Irish and Italian immigrants before them — drop the Latino label to call themselves simply “white.” A study published last year in the Journal of Labor Economics found that the parents of more than a quarter of third-generation children with Mexican ancestry do not identify their children as Latino on census forms."

"On the other side of the spectrum are black Latinos, who say they feel the sting of racism much the same as other blacks. A sense of racial pride has been emerging among many black Latinos who are now coming together in conferences and organizations."

2012-01-15T09:32:00.000-08:00

Yeah She Said It The Voice For The Urban Sophisticated Black Woman » If Skin Bleaching Is Self Hate Then Isn’t Tanning The Same? Not Really.

it's important to acknowledge that we live in a white supremacist world, where whiteness is so often desired by people of color worldwide. skin bleaching is rooted in colonialism and racism, there is no way to separate that from the practice of one or many people. tanning on the other hand has a completely different motivation when practiced by white people. as has been said by another person posting, tanning is temporary (generally) but the motivation isn't to look like a different ethnicity and it is by no means a way to lose one's unearned white privilege, in fact its often the opposite. if a white person is able to have a tan in a climate that doesn't receive a lot of sun like let's say london or seattle, white people are able to give the impression that they are quite comfortable financially to be able to travel to tropical climates to get that tan. it should be painfully clear that skin bleaching and other self-hating/harming practices done by people of color are deeply rooted in european notions of beauty. we also live in a patriarchal and sexists society that targets women at a constant to make modifications to their appearance. this very same toxic (racist and sexist) culture we live in is one that is insanely superficial and wants nothing more than our discomfort and most importantly our money. if we can be consumed with wanting to have his abs, her breasts, their skin color, etc. we will place ourselves in unsafe situations in order to better blend in, conform. one final comment for the author, "blacks and latinos," are not mutually exclusive when you consider that there were more enslaved africans brought to latin america than the u.s., "latino" is a culture, not a race.

What Adopting a White Girl Taught One Black Family - The Daily Beast

2012-01-15T08:11:00.000-08:00

What Adopting a White Girl Taught One Black Family - The Daily Beast

rather thought-provoking article! i especially appreciated these points:

"As Yale historian Matthew Frye Jacobson has asked: 'Why is it that in the United States, a white woman can have black children but a black woman cannot have white children?'"

"I've never felt more self-consciously black than while holding our little white girl's hand in public."

"African-Americans represent almost one third of the 510,000 children in foster care, so black parents have a relatively high chance of ending up with a same-race child. (Not so for would-be adoptive white parents who prefer the rarest thing of all in the foster-care system: a healthy white baby.) But the dearth of black families with nonblack children also has painful historical roots. Economic hardship and centuries of poisonous belief in the so-called civilizing effects of white culture upon other races have familiarized Americans with the concept of white stewardship of other ethnicities, rather than the reverse."

Guess what's vegan - Dating people of color doesn’t make you an anti-racist

"Racism is institutional and structural and unless we’re actively interrupting this cycle of oppression, we are complicit in this system = we are racist.

Being an anti-racist ally requires proactive, deliberate action to dismantle internalized and institutional belief in the racial superiority of white people. Seeking and validating the critical feedback of people of color is crucial for imagining and creating change. Dating people of color does not bring about institutional change and using one’s personal relationships as an excuse for not examining privilege or taking on actual anti-racist work is a cop-out."

just today i asked a brown man in nicaragua selling mostly white hollywood bootlegged films if he had any films w/people, who looked like him or i...to my dismay, he didn't really understand me. so know that this imbalance in the film industry doesn't only influence white audiences. from my estimate, your average nicaraguan or costa rican has seen more hollywood films than i when you consider what's in the streets, big screens, etc.

Australia and the 'N' word & the United States and "redskins"

2012-01-04T20:18:00.000-08:00

i truly appreciate this documentary being put together and it's well worth discussing. i also agree with the statement made by the man of african descent from the u.s.--he suggested that this sort of behavior would not be tolerated in the states whatsoever. a building in the states bearing the infamous "n" word would no doubt be defaced and/or then some. however, people of african descent in the u.s. certainly have a different history than the aborigines do in australia because we are talking about a population imported (stolen from their land) versus an indigenous population (whose land was stolen). certainly being deemed "black" by the dominant (white) group in the u.s. and australia is a common thread both marginalized groups share, but i think it's worth considering how the indigenous in the u.s. are still mistreated (to say the least) just like the aborigines of australia. consider the ongoing objectification of the indigenous as mascots in professional sports like the washington redskins.

resources on the "redskins" and other instances of objectification of indigenous people:

in whose honor?
the racist redskins
redskins: racial slur or symbol of success?
washington redskins and the stigma of racism, is there a compromise?
native appropriations
redskins, sambos, and whities-racism in sports mascots
