100 Portraits Training | Part 3 and 4 These are mostly from my ref folders for Adolin and Renarin :D Part three

15 - 16) Australian actor Remy Hii

17) Filipino-American actor Vincent Rodriguez III

18) German tennis player Alexander Zverev

19) Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto

20-21) Chinese weightlifter Lü Xiaojun

22) Burmese-Amercian mixed martial artist Aung La Nsang

Next to actors I looked for sportspersons to use as references, because they have enough of a public image that I could reference them with name (which felt better than just using random people from the internet). Actors are often shown often being very attractive (I should take more refs directly from movies...) and it was nice to also try more day-to-day faces. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, of course, but I wanted to look for pictures which didn't having the person they showed looking beautiful as their main objective.

Part four

23 - 24) Burmese mixed martial artist Aung La Nsang

25) Indonesian badminton player Tontowi Ahmad

26) South Korean sabre fencer Oh Sang-uk

27)Philipine pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena

28) Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto once more

As for links in this one hmm... This page by the Consortium of Asian American Theaters and Artists has shot overview of some terms which are important to be aware of for representation (albeit from a theater perspective, but it's still useful) This piece by Khoo Wei Shawn is a brief look into how racial representation has changed in the cartoons using the Ducktales series as an example. His footnotes could be useful for anyone wanting to get deeper into the topic, too. And lastly another take on racism in animation by Ruth Dubb. This one looks at the depiction of black people in early American cartoons and the stereotypes that came with those. Most sources I could find were from an American view. Or least from people living within a Western and American context. In part that's probably due to the language barrier (I have some in German, but there we go again... difficult to share that with most people here). Different countries have their own history of people being racialised and how that intersects with other issues and themes. So if you know of or have interesting takes from non-American sources and perspectives on the topics, please share. :)

"Ironically, I think whites as a racial culture are defined by the lack of ethnic nepotism. I don’t think it ever happened in the US that a Scots-descended businessman would want to keep the business entirely Scots and deny jobs to Swedes. And everybody and their dog seems to be 1/4 German and 1/4 Irish and 1/16 Chocktaw… Now, as a comparison, I was writing to a girl in some dating app and I said “You look kinda East Asian” and she replied “Kinda East Asian?! 100% pure blooded Han!” LOL. This is the level of racial-ethnic consciousness (and nepotism) that is normal in most of the world. In fact, that is why whites have a problem with Jews, they are not used to ethnic nepotism. Most people on the planet would find it entirely normal because they are doing the same thing. Ethnic nepotism is deep down extended family nepotism. They are not simply hiring co-ethnics, if they can, they will hire fourth cousins. This boils down that in a low-trust society you can only trust relatives. Whites have invented the nuclear family, without deep extended family ties, individualism, and a high-trust society where trusting strangers is normal. The disappearance of ethno-racial consciousness and nepotism was simply downstream from this. Universalism, the idea of universal human rights and suchlike is a super white idea, originally IMHO developed in Paris, and clearly the flip side of individualism. Is it a Christianity-rooted idea? Perhaps, but there are many Christians from Greeks to Armenians and Georgians who are not interested in it. The good news is that every time desegregation is not enforced, people spontaneously segregate. The 1960’s civil rights idea that blacks want to see white faces in their neighborhoods, schools and churches was basically a lie. They want the money, yes, and if the only way to get the money is to tolerate white faces, they will, but they are not that super happy about it. Here in Europe our elites are basically bribing the Muslims to stay here, because they actually don’t like to live in places with miniskirts, public drinking and the smell of roasting pork. The white identity had arisen due to the age of sail, discovery, colonialism, and slavery, as an opposite of the brown natives. Scots and Swedes found they have more in common with each other than with the natives. People who did most of this sailing, were mostly of a Northwestern European background, and this is how whiteness contains some cultural, not only biological aspects, such as Protestantism, that is, a certain culture of practical-minded “dryness”, more engineers than artists compared to Catholic Europe. Here in Central Euro we tend to have national identities, not a white identity, because we did not sail much and thus everybody we met was mostly white, even the Ottoman elites tended to be much whitened by intermixing, slavery and renegades. So race is not an easy concept for me either. Especially if I look at my steppe nomad side of ancestors."

Stats Part 3

Now that Round 3 is over, we're down to 32 (well, 33) remaining artworks which feels about time to check in on how our statistics are doing!

And if you're not interested in statistics, I (Mod Salix) wanted to talk about the polls. You may have noticed that I've been trying to keep to 4 polls a day, which would mean that Round 4 is only going to be 4 days, and Round 5 would post everything in two days. Starting in Round 6, we'll probably re-institute week long polls. Hopefully none of us will lose track of what day to post the next round!

We have 20 artworks by male artists, 10 by female artists, and 4 by groups or unknowable entities! And of those, one person is Black, two are Aboriginal (one of whom is Mestizo and Kichwa, the other of whom is Aboriginal Australian), one is Asian-American (and two are Chinese living in China as opposed to living somewhere they're a minority), and one is Indian-British. And also three are left from gay men about the AIDS crisis, in addition to the AIDS memorial quilt, and one lesbian comic.

There are six American artists (including the Asian-American mentioned above), and three Chinese artists (including the Asian-American mentioned above), as well as three Russians (including Ilya Repin, who was born in the future Ukraine and lived near St. Petersburg), technically two different pieces by the same Dutch artist (hi van Gogh), and one each from Argentina, Serbia, Ecuador, Colombia, Canada, Italy, Northern Ireland, Poland, Australia, Finland, Germany, France, and Britain. And one artist I have listed as Denmark/Germany/France, because August Friedrich Schenck was born in a place that was Denmark at the time, Germany now, and worked mostly in France.

Of the pieces with known locations, eight are in the United States (four specifically in New York), two each in Australia and Russia, and one each in Argentina, Finland, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and one in a private collection.

There are two archaic pieces of art, Judith is our last standing piece from anything between archaic and 1843, 8 pieces of art from the 1800s, although five are from 1878 to 1896, one from 1903, two from the 70s or 80s, 5 from the 90s, four from the 00s, four from the span of 2014 to 2016, and three from the last two years. And two unknown dates and the AIDS memorial quilt which is still being added to.

There are 15 paintings, 7 installation arts, one comic, one photograph, one cave art, one sketch, one tattoo, and one fiber art slash installation. And the most common subject of the art are five queer related art pieces, although I have four each I summed up as either horror or grief/anguish.

And, lastly, someone sent in an ask in like Round 1 asking about statistics regarding whether being in first or second place in the poll biased anything. I'm not actually a statistician, so I can't answer that question, but I did compile the numbers of how many first-positioned vs second-positioned arts won! Surprisingly, Round 1 had 64 firsts to 63 seconds (and one tie), Round 2 had 29 to 35, and Round 3 had 15 to 17. Technically speaking that's not a large enough sample size to determine bias but it's... interesting?.

I was going to make a scatterplot featuring the number of votes in each poll to track engagement, but I haven't actually figured out how to do one in Google Sheets yet so maybe at the end of the bracket.

#definitely not inspired by a tag i saw on a poll spawning me to check ratio of men to women artists remaining #stats for nerds #mod salix #announcement #the most baffling poll is marat vs dusseldorf museum kunst palast somehow only had 146 votes? that can't be right #edit: if that one WAS hidden we had no way of telling :( it was finally beaten though #second edit: i included oswaldo guayasamin in the stats even though he was knocked out by keith haring :( sorry

15 questions, 15 people

I was tagged by @lienwyn! it's been ages but i have time to do this one now! Thank you for the tag dear ✨

1. Are you named after anyone?

I'm not. My mom's eldest brother gave me my name collaboratively with my parents. It was supposed to be something different like great figure from my country but it felt like a huge responsibility, so they changed it thank God for that lol

2. When was the last time you cried?

Just today. I wouldn't say full on crying, just a minute or less type of crying when you feel overwhelmed by something or when your brain decides to rewind a certain event in your head.

3. Do you have kids?

No but I have a baby turtle that I love <3

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Sometimes yea when I'm having certain conversations with my group of friends or when we're playing online games and if there's a current event (ex: politic figure doing something foolish), it will jump out if i'm flabbergasted once or twice.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Hmm.. depends. But my eyes would scan them up and down- and I realized that can come off as eyeing them like i'm some kind of arrogant person. I'm sorry to these people, I never meant to come off like that. But i like observing creatures and I draw too, so I tend to see them as a whole or if they behave and talk in certain ways and tone. I just notice things

6. What's your eye colour?

Dark brown almost black if there's no lighting. Typical asian eye color

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

Happy ending. I cannot watch scary movies bcs of my strong visualization and imagination. I can visualize almost anything from my memory and imagine them do anything next to me right here right now. It's... uncomfortable especially when my brain decides to scare me when I see dark places. it's the downside of being an artist

8. Any special talents?

So far.. I'm good at art related things. I want to try my hands on sculpting, painting in canvas, diorama, play more music instruments as a hobby and many more. But I don't have the time and money, hopefully in the future. I just love being involved in my curiosity and see what I can make out of it xD

I'm also good at reading people and situations. I'm a big empath too which comes in handy when I imagine or write. Or connect to people. I'm people's go to listener usually hahah but I create some more boundaries for this. It drains me because I feel deeply.

9. Where were you born?

Indonesia.

10. What are your hobbies?

Uh.. drawing, reading, playing video games, writing, listening to music, sing, eat out and take walks in mall or just strolling through shop marts.

11. Do you have pets?

Yes. I once had 2 red eared slider turtles for 11 years. Then 2 mini pomeranian, and another baby read eared slider turtle which sadly didn't make it for only a month. But my friend gave me another baby turtle, she's always ravenous and lively ^^ so cute.

12. What sports do you/have you played?

Oh man.. I played a lotta sports I even got a tan back then lol. Futsal (indoor soccer), soccer, kasti (kinda like softball / baseball), swimming, running, basketball, badminton. Would love to try snowboarding tho ngl it looks fun but I heard it's damn expensive. And horse riding. The only sport I play now is playing console games😂 would love to be active at sports again in the future

13. How tall are you?

156cm (5'11)

14. Favourite subject in high school?

English and art (but depends on the teacher)

15. Dream job?

Right now? A freelance or full time artist with stable income or good amount of followers to pay off my day to day living without a worry. I am a freelance artist, just not financially stable yet. Hope I can get there

I'm so late to this particular tag game so I apologize if any of you have been tagged before. @gaylilsherlock @uhhhhmanda @gayautisticraccoon @briwates @technitango @kdramastrix

rant about lotk that i suddenly remembered

totally valid if you enjoy the series or the points im abt to mention, these just b my opinions

worldbuilding / aesthetics i distinctly as a just started middle schooler being disappointed by the designs 'modernized' world i'd so come to love. ie, the western/european industrial revolution influences. sure, historically, due to colonization imperialism etc from western powers that's how a lot of it happened (to my understanding); but for me there was no 'europe' equivalent in the atla world,,,, so like where would those visual influences b coming from??? tbh it's less even 'oh it doesnt make sense in-world' but more just wanting to imagine what modernized asian aesthetics would look like sans western influence. i'd also hate to equate 'modernization' with 'westernization'. Perhaps sth like an AsianFuturism. for me it felt like a shame that the creators couldn't imagine more tech advanced asian cultures without the influence of the western world. This was also the desire of a younger me, pre-Asian American media boom (think starting somewhere around crazy rich asians, EEAAO, Michelle Yeoh, etc), back when i almost literally never seen ppl who looked like me portrayed meaningfully not even gonna lie i thought the giant statue of aang was cringe LMAO,,, i was like bro this isn't manhattan like hello????? like to me if aang were to be memorialized in world that's not how it would look.

2. explaining too much/avatar wan's arc again, completely valid if you enjoyed this part. i just personally didn't care for it.

i felt like it was explaining sth that didn't need to be explained, and then explained in an overly literal way that didn't add to the overall work. for me spirits/spiritualism/the avatar were a deeply ingrained given part of the world. the avatar especially was just a built-in self-regulation mechanism (essentially a guaranteed diplomat who has had to live/experience cultures of the 4 dominant nations)

then the way the first avatar was explained felt overly literal; the world of spirits/spiritualism became just a gigantamax pokemon fight - oh, who's the bigger spirit??? will they have the muscles to beat the other meanie spirit????? rather than spirits being portrayed as sth just beyond mortal understanding, ineffable & transdimensional, fickle beings in their own right. Even the spirits who appear frightening or uncomfortable weren't portrayed as necessarily 'bad,' they were just spirits, and with that came with their own moral codes that human perceptions didn't strictly apply to. and like also the raava/vaatu dichotomy was stupid. it reverts to (tired) white = good and black = bad tropes. and also yin/yang DOES NOT mean good/bad LIKE PLEASE. in general i feel like a lot of the tlok plot points came from a (unecessary imo) need to explain everything, make sure everything was black&white (ha), either good or bad, rather than the complex morality a lot of OG atla writing portrayed and further implied. Reminds me of famous concept artist Lorraine O'Grady's essay 'Olympia's Maid' (ctrl F "both: and" to jump to the sections im referencing), critiquing Western 'either:or'ism that struggles to accept the multiplicity of "both:and"ism having watched atla, my questions weren't 'oh how did the avatar come to be?' i was more curious to see different corners of the world, different expressions of the cultures of the four nations (we've seen the swamp benders, the sun warriors, what else was out there? SHOUTOUT THIS RAD ART). i also rlly vibed with a lot of fan writings, such as what may have happened to any underground air nomad diaspora. i wish they focused on using bending/atla world mechanics as vehicles to allegorize concepts & human experiences rather than wasting spending all their time explaining those mechanics to death.

and yes im aware the show is made by western creators for western audiences (and the four element system is western, by contrast for example chinese theology (?) concerns 5 elements - wood, metal, earth, water, fire) and yes OG atla definitely had a lot of flaws, but for me these were the points where i stopped enjoying tlok ykwim

#atla #a:tla #essay #personal essay #tlok #tlok korra #avatar: the last airbender #the legend of korra #and yes im tagging it under the show titles!!!!

T & G reading since 3/18

I was going to wait a few more days to post but it’s getting too long.

Finished

Teen:

Everything Is Solved With Soup (And Poison), by Love_Psycho (reread)

Waking up from a nightmare – that may or may not just be a nightmare – Jiang Yanli decides she needs to stop that nightmare from becoming reality.

What Is Holding Is Also Being Held, by curiositea

“Congratulations,” Song Lan says with a grin that can only be described as ‘shit-eating’. “You’re haunted.”

“What.” Lan Zhan and Wei Ying say simultaneously, one sounding significantly less excited than the other. Honestly Lan Zhan, Wei Ying thinks, how can you not be ecstatic?!

—

Or, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan are haunted by the powerful and lasting echoes of their past lives and maybe, just maybe, it’s fate.

(Halloween/Wei Ying’s birthday prompt from the fantastic @/wwxwashere on twitter: wangxian are haunted.)

The Greed is the Unraveling, by nirejseki (4 chapters)

“Don’t cough blood on me,” Lan Qiren said, voice as prim and proper as it had ever been.

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Wen Ruohan replied, teeth clenched and brow furrowed as he fought off the pain. Blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth despite his words. “I suppose the stain of red on white is terribly hard to get out.”

His tone was bitter, angry, and he was probably making some sort of very clever metaphorical point, given the Lan sect’s white robes and Wen sect’s emblem of red and white.

But -

(Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian said. Do you think we made it - worse?)

(no one else can) take me there, by azurewaxwing

In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.

This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, and musical cultivation: a love story, told through academic articles, emails, texts, and videos.

just like glass, by sunflowersfield (🔒, 2 chapters)

Lan Zhan is grateful. Gratitude is a feeling that he can appreciate because it is not like the inky black guilt that runs hot through his veins. It is not like the dizzying paranoia that burns bright behind his eyes. His gratitude for Wei Ying glows like a flickering candle, and he hopes he can keep it alive.

Butterfly, by dragongirlG (🔒)

Lan Sizhui’s eyes widen. “Is it your birthday?” he asks, panic creeping into his tone. It occurs to him that he’s never asked about birthdays—Ning-shushu’s, his parents’, his sister’s—

“A-Yuan,” says Ning-shushu, his voice softer than normal, “it’s yours.”

Lan Sizhui blinks, stunned. “What?”

Lan Sizhui receives some unexpected gifts when he makes a visit to Wen Ning.

Lan Wangji watches Wei Wuxian spend his first winter in Cloud Recesses.

(a song) greeting the dawn, by LadyKG (🔒, 2 chapters)

With a laugh he threw himself back over the seal painted on the floor, a hysterical bubble in his chest popping as he dug his hands into his hair. Of all the times to be sent back to. Of all the places he could have ended up. Why did it have to be now?

Unfinished

Teen:

Inchoate, by Marinelifeclub

“Where would you even go once you left? Wait a few more years before leaving." persuaded Jiang Fengmian,

“Will I live to see that long?” Wei Wuxian whispered under his breath.

Jiang Fengmian felt cold at those words. He always thought his children would be the ones to heal the scars left by their mother on Wei Wuxian, but just the concise way he spoke about them, he knows that wasn’t true. Now his best friend’s son sat in front of him, confessing to not thinking he will live to see himself become a man. Cangse and Changze must be furious in their graves as the sweet smiling son they raised endured pain because of a jealous woman and a cowardly man. Sighing, he did the only thing he could to make things right and accepted the boy’s wishes.

At age 14, Wei Wuxian left Lotus Pier and never looked back.

Wei Wuxian leaves Lotus Pier and while things change something’s are just set in fate.

Rabbit Charm, by aoeros (🔒)

“You gotta promise me that when you’re back home and settled in, I’ll be the first you come to see. Because I’m going to miss you more than anyone else will, Lán Zhàn. Except your brother, of course.”

“Of course. I promise to come find you first after I’ve settled back in.”

“Great! Then I promise to call you whenever I can. And, I will definitely not forget you.”

until only the mountain remains, by idleorbitals

Sizhui had asked why he wore it, and Lan Wangji had said something about restraint that sounded mysterious and grand, and Wei Wuxian had said it’s a no-fun ribbon. Once you put it on, you have to promise not to have any fun, and Lan Wangji had said Wei Ying, in that voice he had.

Can I have one? Sizhui had asked, and Lan Wangji had looked strange and fond, and Wei Wuxian had said, does no one listen to me around here?

The one where the Burial Mounds timeline gets expanded and Sizhui grows up a Wen.

Echoes, by LadyCrowned

Wei Wuxian heartbreak was so deep that broke time itself. Now, back in his youth, maybe this time around he can set the things right... But, how to change anything without knowing you have the chance to do it?

Your soul remembers what matters the most, even if your memory can't.

Something Warm and Safe, by Winxhelina

"Rich-gege!" A-Yuan exclaims happily.

"You can't call him that," Wei Wuxian admonishes gently. He puts an arm around Lan Wangji just as his knees give out, "Hey! I'm holding a child, you can't pass out on me like that. Oh. Oh, your back is covered in blood. Is that - is that your blood, Lan Zhan?!"

"Mn."

"Oh. Oh, you're bleeding a lot! Hold on! I'm putting A-Yuan down. A-Yuan, walk on your own for a bit. Can you also hold the basket for me? You're so mature and responsible! Okay, Lan Zhan, stay with me. I've got you."

"Is Rich-gege hurt?"

Lan Wangji doesn't hear the rest of that conversation.

In which Granny Wen manages to convince Wei Wuxian to take A-Yuan and hide away from the world. Lan Wangji manages to find them.

Shed Their Blood And Sealed Your Fate, by Eternal Scribe (Shadowcat)

The end scene at Guanyin Temple goes a bit differently...

General:

Pulled Against the Grain, by youleeyeah

“We found him walking injured just outside the Jingshi. He said-” Sizhui paused for a moment and then lowered his voice before continuing, “he said it was Young Master Jin who did this.” The boy couldn't look into Lan Wangji’s eyes as he spoke and turned his head to the side.

“You know,” Wei Wuxian started again after the pain subsided a tiny amount, “if I had my old body, I could've had intestines falling out of my gut and I’d still be able to fight for a few more hours.”

Lan Wangji furrowed his brows.

He has heard this before.

-----

Wei Wuxian wakes up in Gusu with a fresh stab wound he claimed was caused by Jin Ling. Lan Wangji is confused because the last time that happened was three years ago. Something is wrong with Wei Wuxian.

he, who died, is ignorant, by Maxciel_99

Jiang Cheng is thirteen when his eyes lose the shine that has always mirrored Wei Wuxian’s wild spirit. And then no longer is he a shadow of anyone but merely a shell of himself.

Here is a man who is served the world, for once, but he has turned a boy who finally stops wishing and wanting all at once.

Or basically, JC time travels but it's not your typical time travel fix-it.

By the River I Sat Down and Wept, by naolbedo

Wei Wuxian, while in the burial mounds, kept a small paper scroll. It is in this scroll that he filled his happiest memories.

When he eventually passes away and Lan Wangji arrives at the burial mounds, he finds only A-Yuan, clutching onto a qiankun pouch close to his heart as though he was holding on to the flickering warmth that once graced the burial mounds.

When the Hills Are All Flat, and the Rivers Run Dry, by stiltonbasket

Wei Wuxian feels her blood run cold.

Yu-ayi’s right. He really is going to choose me, she thinks. Oh, no. Oh, good Heavens, no!

She nearly bursts into tears on the spot; but just as her eyelids begin to sting, she remembers what her aunt said only two minutes earlier and breathes a sigh of relief.

The moment Huangshang lays eyes on you, he will know what choice to make.

In that moment, Wei Wuxian realizes that she can only be certain of evading the Empress’s throne if she ensures that the emperor never lays eyes on her at all.

Or: in the second year of his reign, Emperor Lan Wangji yields to the wishes of his ministers and holds a bride selection to find his future empress.

One thing I learned from 2024; when an unapologetically black, southern, & country woman named Beyonce made a country album to honor her black ancestors: who helped invent country music is that: with all the racism, bigotry, jealousy, hatred, sexism, & bullying showed towards Beyoncé, her mom, her husband, & even her innocent children & all the black female, country music artist is that: there are alot of people all over the entire world that needs to have a come to Jesus moment & make a New Years Resolution to be

1. Less of a racist

2. Less of a bigot

3. Less of a hater

4. Less of a sexist

5. Less jealous of people of color who are more talented, wealthy, & successful than they are.

6. Less ignorant by not knowing that black people helped invent country music & bluegrass music.

7. Less judgemental about strangers: they don't even know nor have all the facts about: & who have never been convicted of any crimes in any court of law.

There are more good people in the world than bad people: so the good people: who are not racist, not bigots, not sexist, not haters, not jealous, not ignorant & not uneducated, not judgemental, not bullies: WE HAVE TO BLOCK & DELETE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOXIC FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD & MINORITIES (BLACKS, HISPANIC, ASIANS, ARABS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, NONE CHRISTIANS, & THE LGBTQPAI COMMUNITY, NATIVE AMERICANS, & INDIANS. WE NEED TO BLOCK DELETE TOXIC RACISTS & BIGOTS & NOT GIVE THEM A PLATFORM OR SPACE OUR LIVES EVER! ALWAYS STAND UP AGAINST TOXIC RACISTS, BIGOTS, SEXISTS, & BULLIES: LET THAT BE A WORLDWIDE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. Racists, Bigots, Sexists, HATERS, Bullies, & Judgemental people don't make it to heaven with Jesus: if they do then heaven is somewhere none of us good people ever want to be EVER. GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE. GOD IS NOT A RACIST, BIGOT, HATER, SEXIST, OR BULLY: IF WE ARE TRULY MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE HOW CAN WE JUSTIFY BEING A RACIST, BIGOT, HATER, SEXIST, OR BULLY?

STOP BEING MAD AT BEYONCE FOR NOT THROWING HER BLACK ANCESTORS IN THE TRASH:

Black people stop throwing your black culture away: & see the value in your black culture. Know your black history: & BLACKS BEING COMPLETELY ERASED OUT OF THE BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC YOUR ANCESTORS INVENTED: BY RACISTS: WHO WHITE WASHED YOUR BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC SO BAD: THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE WHITES INVENTED COUNTRY MUSIC, COUNTRY MUSIC CULTURE, COWBOY CULTURE & COWBOY ATTIRE: & BLACKS NEVER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT & CAN NOT BE COUNTRY: BECAUSE WE HAVE BROWN SKIN. THIS TYPE OF CULTURAL APPROPIATION WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN: IF BLACKS STOP THROWING OUR BLACKNESS IN THE TRASH FOR OTHER RACES TO CULTURALLY APPPROPIATE & SEE THE VALUE IN OUR ANCESTORS THAT WE DON'T SEE. BLACK PEOPLE CREATED MORE THAN HIP HOP RAP MUSIC. WAKE UP!

I had a racist lady try & tell me Spain invented the guitar. What she meant to say was BLACK MOORS FROM NORTH AFRICA BROUGHT THE GUITAR TO SPAIN & PORTUGAL IN THE 1500 CENTURY: BUT A GUITAR LIKE INSTRUMENT HAS EXISTED IN AFRICA SINCE THE EMPIRE OF CUSH FROM 600 BC TO 350 AD TO PRESENT DAY. ANOTHER EFFORT AT CULTURAL APPROPIATION & FORGETING THE BLACK ROOTS OF THE GUITAR. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH DON'T LET NO ONE STEAL YOUR BLACK CULTURE. IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED BLACKS HAVE EVEN SAID: Beyoncé IS TRYING TO MAKE WHITE MUSIC: BECAUSE SOME IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED BLACK PEOPLE DON'T KNOW BLACK PEOPLE INVENTED COUNTRY MUSIC & BROUGHT COUNTRY MUSIC TO THE USA AS SLAVES ALONG WITH THE BANJO, GUITAR, & DRUMS. WE BLACKS INVENT JAZZ THROW IT AWAY LET WHITE FOLKS HAVE IT. BLACKS INVENT BLUES THROW IT AWAY & LET WHITE FOLKS HAVE IT. BLACK FOLKS INVENT COUNTRY MUSIC THROW IT AWAY & LET WHITE FOLKS HAVE IT. BLACK FOLKS LIKE JIMI HENDRIX, CHUCK BERRY, FATS DOMINO, TINA TURNER, LITTLE RICHARD, SISTER ROSETTA THARPE, BIG MAMA THORNTON, BO DIDDLEY HELPED INVENT ROCK & ROLL & WE THROW IT AWAY & LET WHITE FOLKS HAVE IT. ALOT OF IGNORANT BLACKS TRULY BELIEVE RAP & HIP HOP IS THE ONLY GENRE OF MUSIC BLACKS INVENTED OR CONTRIBUTED TO. MINISTER FARAKAHN SAID IT BEST: WHEN IGNORANT BLACK PEOPLE GOT MAD AT RACHEL DOLEZAL FOR CULTURALLY APPROPIATING BLACK CULTURE "DON'T GET MAD AT RACHEL DOLEZAL FOR FINDING VALUE IN BLACK CULTURE: WHILE YALL ARE BUSY BLEACHING YOUR SKIN & THROWING YOUR BLACK CULTURE & BLACKNESS AWAY!"

I am unapologetically black with black country roots like Beyonce.

My mom's side of the family came from Mississippi & moved to Saint Louis, Missouri. My dad side of the family also came from Mississippi & moved to Saint Louis, Missouri: so I grew up with Blackfoot Indian on both sides of my family & black country on both sides of my family. I grew up on country music Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson: but I also grew up with Charley Pride, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, LaMelle Prince, Linda Martell, The Pointer Sisters, Tina Turner, Ruby Falls, Deford Bailey, Rufus Teetot Payne, Lesley Riddle. Later on I liked other Black country artist like Rissi Palmer, Mickey Guyton, Darius Rucker, Kane Brown, Chapel Hart & yes even Beyoncé. Black people helped invent country music & cowboy culture. The black slaves that herded cattle would wear cowboy hats, cowboy boots, chaps, & jeans: & were called cowboys by the slavemasters & the term cowboy was originally meant as an insult to the black men who were slaves & herded cattle. It didn't become a compliment until white people culturally appropiated country music & cowboy culture & attire from Black people. I am tired of racists stealing country culture & country music from Black people & then thinking the black people they stole country music & country culture from are not country: because our skin is not white. We do not mind sharing country culture, country music, & cowboy attire & cowboy culture with anyone: but don't turn around & tell the very black people you stole everything from: we are not country: because we do not have white skin. THAT WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED OR TOLERATED: & BEYONCE IS LEADING THE MOVEMENT. RACIST BULLIES HATE HER FOR THAT: BUT I AND 313,000,000 people of all races, sexes, & orientations love her dearly for that. THE HATE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED HATERS WILL BE BLOCKED, DELETED, & IGNORED. RACIST, BULLY, HATERS CAN KICK ROCKS.

DOLLY Parton, Wynonna Judd, Patsy Cline, Trisha Yearwood, Shania Twain, LORETTA LYNN, LAINEY WILSON, Megan Moroney, Miranda Lambert, Tanya Tucker, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood: are all country artist that I love: but none of them can sing almost 4 octaves like Queen Bey Beyonce: I am not a professional singer for a living: but like Beyonce I can also sing almost 4 octaves: I can sing bass, baritone, tenor, contratenor, contralto, alto, & 8 Soprano notes: it took me over 20 years to reach 8 soprano notes: because I have a very low singing voice. For many years I could only sing 5 soprano notes: but after taking voice lessons most of my life: I made it to 7 soprano notes. I stayed at 7 soprano notes: until I minored in opera: & two years of training finally got me the 8th soprano note: that eluded me my whole life. I love my lower voice registry: but I do like soprano voices too: so I worked really hard to sing those soprano notes for my own fun & kareoke purposes over the years. This was the reason I took opera in college to learn how to sing higher notes: it was very, hard work: so I can respect Beyonce's God Given talent: because she naturally can sing almost 4 octaves: she did not have to work at it for over 30 years like I did & minor in opera in college. Beyonce's half time show was the f*cking best I ever seen. She honors her black ancestors: who helped invent country music. There has been racism against black women in country music for years. If you got anything negative to say about BEYONCE OR ANY BLACK WOMAN IN COUNTRY MUSIC PLEASE BLOCK ME: BECAUSE I WILL DEFINITELY BLOCK YOU & DELETE YOUR COMMENTS FROM MY PAGE. I AM NOT STANDING FOR NO MORE RACISM & BULLYING OF BLACK FEMALE COUNTRY ARTIST. RACISTS BULLIES AGAINST BLACK WOMEN IN COUNTRY MUSIC WILL NOT BE GIVEN A VOICE OR PLATFORM ON MY PAGE EVER AGAIN! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I DON'T LIKE RACIST BULLIES AT ALL.

African guitar like instruments existed in the empire of Cush (c.600 BC - c.350 AD) & had guitar like strings, also the banjo & the drums are also African Instruments too. Moors brought guitar like intruments to Portugal & Spain around the 15 century.

Moors were people of color who lived in North Africa. The black Moors of North Africa brought the guitar to Spain & Portugal during their occupation of Al-Andalus from 711-1492:

The Black Moors brought the al'ud, an 11-stringed, pear-shaped, fretless instrument that evolved into the Spanish guitar. The Black Moors al'ud is the direct ancestor of the modern guitar.

The Moorish guitar is also known as the Guitarra Morisca, which means "Moorish guitar". It had multiple soundholes, an oval body, a wide neck, & crescent-shaped headstock.

By the 14th century, the Guitarra Morisca was called a guitar. The guitar, along with other instruments, helped shape the development of Spanish classical music & flamenco & helped to form the foundation of Modern Spanish Music Styles.

The most significant Moorish musician was known as Ziryab (the Blackbird) who arrived in Spain in 822. The Moors introduced earliest versions of several instruments, including the Lute or el oud, the guitar or kithara & the Lyre. Current racist narrative is that Spain invented the guitar in the 15 century. The reality is black Moors from Northern Africa brought the guitar to Spain around that time. Guitar like instruments existed in Africa since 600 bc to 350 AD.

Little Richard, Chuck Berry, FATS DOMINO, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner the Queen of Rock & Roll, Big Mama Thornton, Bo Diddley all helped invent Rock & Roll. Yes, according to music historians, Black people invented rock & roll, as the genre originated from African American musical styles like rhythm & blues, jazz, & gospel, with artists like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe were crucial to rock & Roll. BO DIDDLEY WAS CRUCIAL TO ROCK & ROLL. Rock and roll evolved from various African American music genres, including blues, boogie-woogie, & jump blues.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Little Richard, Fats Domino, BO DIDDLEY, Chuck Berry, Big Mama Thornton are recognized as early pioneers of rock and roll.

While Black artists laid the foundation for rock and roll, white artists often gained more mainstream success by popularizing the genre & culturally appropiating black artist music.

ABOUT JAY Z & ALLEGED RAPE:

I am a survivor of rape: so if Jay Z is proven in a court of law to be a rapist: then lock him up for sure: but until he has his day in court: we can not convict him on racists' public opinion alone.

These are the facts so far:

1. The home where alleged victim says the alleged assault occurred according to Attorney Spiro does not exist.

2. Jay-Z was photographed at a VMAs after-party inside a club at the time the alleged rape occured: I don't know how Jay Z can be in 2 places at the same exact time.

3. The alleged victim claimed: she spoke with musician Benji Madden at the after-party: but Benji Madden wasn't at the after party. At the time of the alleged rape Benji Madden was on tour in the Midwest. Benji Madden can not be in 2 places at the same time.

4. The alleged victim claimed: she watched the VMAs from a jumbotron outside the awards: but MTV didn't have a permit for jumbotrons in 2000 according to NYPD & a producer of the show.

5. The alleged victim claimed: she approached limos on the street outside of the VMAs: but the street were she claimed she approached limos was completely blocked off & there was an Eminem performance on that street. No limos or cars period were parked on that street.

6. The alleged victim claims she ran from the party naked & called her father: & father picked her up from the gas station and drove her home: but NBC News reported her father doesn't remember picking up his naked 13 year old daughter: who had just been raped by two grown men. Her father lived five hours away at the time: & I am pretty sure: he would remember picking up his naked, traumatized, 13 year old daughter: who had been raped by 2 men. Any father would have taken their daughter to the hospital, called the police & had Jay Z arrested for sure not just drive home like nothing happened.

6. The alleged victim claims a friend drove her to Manhattan, after sneaking out of a window: this could not be corroborated because the alleged friend is deceased.

7. There are no witnesses, no evidence no video, no photos to support: what the alleged victim has said only the opinions of people: who dont like Beyoncé or don't like Jay Z, or don't like both of them or the Carter Family: these haters are convinced with no evidence, no trial, no conviction that Jay Z is guilty & that Beyonce is guilty of something too.

JAY Z'S ATTORNEY, Attorney Spiro said Jay-Z is upset by the accusations levied against him in the lawsuit: Jay Z feels the accusations take away from actual rape victims telling the truth. Jay Z also is upset: that his family has to deal with this.

THESE ARE ALL THE FACTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS CASE.
