Cultural appropriation is picking apart one cultural aspect that isn’t theirs and mimicking them without consent from the origins. Things like aesthetics, traditional practices, artifacts/items, etc., are often prone to such disrespectful acts. It is done purely for selfish reasons, profit, clout, or the shallowest reasons other than liking them. You can learn more about Black people’s struggles through the book “American’t: The Corporate Plantation” by King Bell...

Mary TallMountain  // A Dream of Rodney King

All we have in this country are police and women. You can't complain to the police because they might arrest you. Your boyfriend is a police, your college professor, your reverend minister, boss, fireman... but they won't tell you. This is the planet we live on. The police are like an explosion behind you always racing your heart.

Setting: Los Angeles Characters: Christ as a blackman whom we don't know and a Korean woman who doesn't blame the blackman for the riots. She blames the officials. She doesn't blame the looters. She takes that power away from them. They had their power taken away from them by the officials. She gives that power to the officials. They own that power like the Korean woman who owned a little shop.

Christ is not a looter but led a demonstration. I have no desire. I am Christ, Christ as a woman. But just because Christ has no desire doesn't mean He's a woman.

Christ on the cross looks like a martyr. That is why he looks like a woman. I see his flesh flowing across the wooden branches. It is sickly pale- black man or white.

That so many people believe in a martyr instead of a strongman. Look at the slave in American history- martyrs all- and the American black today- a history of martyrdom. Is their strength worshipped- the strength by which they rose up from martyrdom- or is their strength in their martyrdom, their victimization? You know Christians value the strengths of a martyr. But the Christian nation values a strongman.

When a blackman achieves the status of a policeman he achieves real power. He becomes an official. He is no longer a woman. But what if the blackperson- woman- child- abused child- Jew- Indian- immigrant- mental patient- prisoner- What if the blackperson aspires to be neither police nor woman? It's not possible. A blackman with police for an overseer can still be the police to his woman and she can be the police to his/her child. The child can oversee the family pet, and so on. There's always somebody to look up to or fear.

The legacy that slavery has given this country has cast its shadow to the present day. Thus, all the programs designed to help the unemployed survive like medical care, food stamps, rent assistance, public housing, GA and AFDC were designed mostly for the offspring of former slaves.

Christ as a slave. We know the Roman police would like to march all over you. The slave is a rabble-rouser who deserves to die. We know the story.

So when Christ is risen He flees to Egypt or Libya where He meets a sexy keeper of the temple of some heathen god and they make love over and over again. Perhaps she is black, too, really black in her African origins.

Or He finds her on an arid modern American poverty- driven Indian reservation, where the woman has the face of Mother Earth and He rests in her arms till the police, soldiers, FBI come to dig Him out and His martyrdom starts all over again at Oglala.

The Hate U Give Review (From the Perspective of a black person)

Yes, I know I am not a book review blog.

The Hate U Give. As Starr so elegantly puts the ending, ho-ly shit. Spoiler Alert! Turn back if you haven’t read the book! You should read it! Wether you’re black, white, or any other race! And don’t pull that “I’ve seen the movie” shit either. The book is worth it.

First I want to commend Ms. Angie Thomas. The bravery it takes to take what we black Americans live and publish it. To put the truth into the world, that is something I don’t think I could manage.

Secondly, the WRITING. From the moment I turned to the second page, I knew how impeccable the writing was. Khalil’s death hit me hard. I have chosen, since I got out of the hood, to pretend. Pretend that none of the shit I lived through never happened. I hid the way I was raised to talk, changed what I listened to, fixed my posture, hid my hair, anything to convince white people I was normal.

Khalil’s death. Natasha’s death. Domestic abuse. Gangs. Street territory. Media painting the hood as another world. I don’t think I’ve ever cried over a book before. And that’s saying something. My family blames my period. This book had me crying every time Starr did. Had me laughing with her. And maybe that’s because I identify so heavily with her. That I know what it’s like to want to hide your “hood” from a significant other. That I know what it’s like to hold someone as they die. That I’m tired of fear. That I’ve had racist friends who consider me an “exception”.

Some characters who I think deserve more attention and therefore I will give them it.

Iesha and Brenda. Everything I say applies to both of them and that shit is sad. She was ghetto. She was tacky. She was an all around bitch, and horrible to her kids. But goddamnit, she fought. She tried to do right by them kids, even if she went about it wrong.

Cameron. This boy is nine years old. His mom if a fucking crackhead. His grandmother has cancer and just lost her damn job. His brother was shot. Over a hairbrush. Cameron is a strong young man. I could read a whole sequel about him.

Lyric. Lyric is a little girl in a domestic abuse situation. I think that is all I need to say.

I want to say more, but that’s all for now. (Maybe I’ll do a follow-up later. It’s 1am and I just finished the book, I bought it at 7pm.)

If a #blackperson tells you that a #phrase is #offensive to them, then it is. #endofstory It is not #uptoyou as a #whiteperson to #tell them that it’s not. Instead, #educateyourself as to why the phrase is offensive and #stop using it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmV-czA9sR/?igshid=64wp2qldyhjn
