Modern African American Literature and History

Hello everyone, this is the first of many post regarding the histories of African, Asian, Native and Island cultures I will start each with the present and go to the past.

Please note: In completing these lists I take time to evaluate and research the individuals and works listed. Do to these reasons these posts might range from monthly to bi-monthly within the order of African, Asian, Native, and Island. I know that I may not produce every documents from every culture, country, etc and I know that some histories may conflict with each other due to war and conflicts between various countries. I do not wish to cause offense, but if I do please let me know via direct messages. If you have any questions, comments and opinions, or wish to add to the list of sources please leave them in the comment/reply section. It is in everyone’s best interest that respect is met. Therefore please practice nonviolent communication in the comments. We are all here to learn and grow from the singular histories we share.

Now without further postponement I present Modern (1900s to present) African American Literature and History.

Sometimes the best way to discover yourself is to look back at the footprints made before you. This has been the life of the African American. However, most of the path is covered in fog and one must wade in it with a lantern to observe every print.

Below is a constructed list of phenomenal individuals in African American history as well as literature from 1900s to present:

Individuals (please note: some individuals are controversial but they were key figures in African American history and possessed philosophies that aren’t presented to most individuals in academia. The list is also some known and unknown individuals):

James Baldwin (if you are not keen to read some of his work then at least watch his interviews, however I do recommend that you read his works): playwright and novelist, the voice of a nation

Malcom X: American Muslim minister and human rights activist (please note that he is considered controversial and his speeches may offend some of you however you must also look at time times and weigh the facts yourself)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (He is not just his dream)

Maya Angelou (Still I rise)

Nina Simone (musician) her music in my opinion is definitely DA but also relevant of her time and of struggle

Angela Davis: American political activist, philosopher, academic, and author.

Ella Baker: backbone of the Civil Rights Movement

Mary McLeod Bethune: an educator, civil rights leader and adviser to five U.S. presidents, the “First Lady of the Struggle”

Benjamin Oliver Davis Sr.: the first African-American general for the U.S. Army

Quincy Jones: producer, writer, arranger, composer and humanitarian

Henrietta Lacks (I do not wish to write anything about her as her story is one I recommend you learn for yourself. A part of her goes by another name doctors call HeLa)

Richard Pryor: a comedian who reflected America’s racial pain and confusion (you can find some of his stand ups on youtube)

This list could go on forever but I’ll stop here. There are many more, but these individuals are the most significant in influencing the lives of many African Americans.

Literature (Please note some of the books and series mentioned below are disturbing, and will upset you. However, they are the lives of African Americans and/or real events placed into fictional context):

Toni Morison (read all of her books as they are phenomenal)

Their Eyes were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

Roots: The Saga of an American by Alex Haley

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow isn’t Enuf by Ntozake Shange (can buy or requested printed copy from library)

The New Negro: An Interpretation edited by Alain Locke (1920s)

Hannibal: The Ultimate Warrior: he Untold Story by Joseph Peebles

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Kindred by Octavia Butler (good for you sci-fi fans)

Shadow and Act by Ralph Ellison (named after Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

The Autobiography of Malcom X: As Told to Alex Haley , by Malcom X and Alex Haley (this may be offensive to some)

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander

In addition to the above literature and books listed please look into artists and writers of the Harlem Renaissance (personal recommendation)

Thank you for your time and patience!

Now considering I did this with the first two Resident Evil films. But now I’m doing one with Doom. To be honest I stalled on this.

I’m just gonna say some stuff. I love the Doom franchise, I love the video games. Including I love the character of Doomguy/Doom Slayer. But I’ve only seen bits of the movie and I have watched the first person scene on YouTube. Including I know how the movie goes with Filmcomicsexplained detailing the story of that 2005 movie.

Including I just don’t wanna watch the movie. Because it’s one of those video game movies that just doesn’t treat it’s source material right enough, and just doesn’t overall seem like a good film. Even if it had little things you can like. Along with the fact despite the upcoming movie Doom Annihilation having actual demons now. The idea Universal decided to put it as a direct to video movie instead of in theaters. Which is really disappointing but considering the 2005 film bombed, I could understand. But the fact of how the film looks and just.....it’s stupid. Despite some things I have read that Doomguy is in the film still.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind it two ways. One we might not get another Doom film again or just maybe we shouldn’t get one. Two a Doom film can work in some regards. Yet to be honest I feel like what I read of people wanting a, “Avengers” big movie seems very ridiculous and I wouldn’t mind a low budget or just....a simple movie can work.

But I shouldn’t make that the point. The point of this post is a what if situation of if that first Doom movie was while a loose adaption, a better movie that respects the source material more. Basically actual demons and other shit. Yet also I have thought about taking elements from the games and even well novels. Which might piss some fans off of the novels part. Don’t worry the demons aren’t aliens they are actually still demons and not mutants like in the film.

Yet the idea was of to make a film that I guess honors the Doom franchise. While also mainly sticking with the original game. But also taking elements from other stuff such as Doom 3. Which is a game I do like as well.

Basically a loose adaption that isn’t perfect but respects the Doom franchise itself and could be it’s own take on the franchise. Especially as someone who has thought of a Doom movie of how it could work. Such as taking elements from the 2016 game. But we are focusing on what was released in 2005. Honestly I’d should start making this now, sorry to ramble on.

Synopsis: It is 2022, humanity has been able to reach beyond Earth and go to other planets. Such as Mars with the corporation known as UAC has made it possible living there. Especially it’s moons Phobos and Deimos

But also behind the scenes, the UAC has been performing secret experiments with teleportation. Yet during these experiments they’ve unleashed something truly terrible. A portal to literal Hell.

Now with the facility has been overrun with demons. Killing almost everyone and even many becoming possessed and acting like zombies. Especially it’s worse with other demons that are more ferocious such as the Imps, Pinky’s, and more. They are all over the UAC Mars Research Base, and Mars City.

A group of survivors try to survive this onslaught. When all hope seems lost, a marine(Dwayne Johnson) who was punitively posted at the facility is determined to kill all the demons and make sure they don’t get back to Earth. Including take down the now insane Dr. Malcom Betruger(Robert Englund) who has sided with the demons, intent on helping them get to Earth.

Characters.

Dwayne Johnson as Flynn Taggart The Doomguy: A 29 year old corporal who is sent to the Mars facility to assist as punishment for assaulting his senior officer who ordered him to shoot a group of civilians.

He’s more of a, “Actions speak louder than words” kind of guy. The, “Strong Silent Type” kind of marine. Doesn’t really speak unless he feels like it or if it’s necessary. Capable of handling all different kinds of firearms. Including being quite fast during combat, hardly stressed at all, and strong as hell.

Despite what makes him seem to be a brooding loner who doesn’t seem to care for anyone. Especially before the outbreak everyone looked at him as if he was a scary brute. He’s actually a man with a big heart. Such as helping a person calm down during a situation when they need it, and cares more about other the safety of other people’s lives than his own. A honorable marine who hates bullies and seems chill when there is no combat.

But when the outbreak of demons happens, his team of other marines who he has made friends with are killed when investigating the base. Along with also his pet rabbit he brought to Mars is killed by demons.

With his friends and his own pet he considered family killed, and the demons intention to get to Earth, Flynn is determined to make sure they never reach their goals. No matter how many there are and how powerful they are.

Including during combat, he wears a helmet to protect his head just in case.

Notes: As a fun easter egg instead of him being 30 years old. I decided to have him be born on the day the original Doom was released. Which is December 10 1993. Meaning well yeah this film would take place in December.

Along with the fact I know Dwayne in the 2005 movie was offered to play John Grimm but he chose to play the sarge. I wanted to make this fan casting. Along with the fact while I do agree with the idea Doomguy is a character in his own right that doesn’t need to speak and again a actions speak louder than words kind of guy. Including the fact he’s supposed to be the player character.

Yet this movie version of the Flynn character who is more serious and more akin to what Doomguy seems to be like. Such as even the 2016 games. Basically more serious than what the novels described Flynn as.

This version is basically I guess a representation of Doomguy as a person. If we didn’t go with the route of no talking and other things. He’s a Doomguy in his own right. But it’s a different take that I did to best respect the original character if I had to go with the route if he had to talk and other stuff.

Including let’s have a fun scene like the final shootout scene of The Rundown(A film Dwayne Johnson was in) but it’s Doomguy with the demons. Just showcasing Doomguy’s badassness in the scene. I’m talking about the Boom Shakalaka scene which I had watched before making this post.

Karl Urban as John “Reaper” Grimm: One of the few marines that has survived the onslaught of the demon outbreak on Mars. A Staff Sargent who seems rather angsty years after his parents who were UAC scientists died in a accident. But still cares for his Samantha Grimm and also a new friend of his named Emma Grace.

While he didn’t take a liking towards Flynn at first assuming Flynn didn’t care for anyone but himself. He realizes Flynn and him share the same values of honor and other things. Especially in a way similar losses to his own.

Notes: I’m gonna say I like Karl Urban and from what I know people liked Karl as Reaper who is basically the Doomguy in the movie. But I have not watched the movie fully and wondered if I should. So I can’t make my own opinion. But I decided to keep his character and decided to keep his back story too for people who liked him.

Robert Englund as Dr. Malcom Bertruger: The Research director at Mars. After being teleported into Hell once and made a pact with the demons. Once a respected man who has now become evil, showcasing more of who he is. Especially after years being on Mars and helping the demons prepare for the outbreak.

Including he is also responsible for brining back a once dead demon back to life into the now powerful Cyberdemon.

Notes: Originally I was gonna have Mads Mikkelsen(who’s also awesome) as Bertruger. Mainly cause of a reviewers comparison of the character to Hannibal Lector or whatever. But I thought Robert Englund was just a fun choice and just the idea of Freddy Krueger is the one who unleashes these demons or whatever.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Emma Grace: A rookie security officer who has been at the Mars facility for a while now. While despite being a officer, she’s has shown to be paranoid and the demon outbreak makes it all worse. But when she meets Flynn, she becomes more courageous after being inspired by Flynn’s determination and bravery.

Rosamund Pike as Dr. Samantha Grimm: The twin sister of John Grimm and a doctor at the Mars research facility. She was one of the few people who began noticing something was up with Bertruger.

Considering people liked Reaper and what I’ve seen on Tumblr some folks liked Samantha so she’s here too.

List of demons: Imps, possessed soldiers and overall zombies, Cacodemons, Pinky’s, Lost Souls, Barons Of Hell, and the Cyberdemon. With them while looking demonic, it’s respecting the original source material. But the film can make it’s own take on the demons. Yet the point being they have color and they just look demonic as hell. Also you can tell which one is which or whatever.

The Cyberdemon in a way is the big demon antagonist of the film. Including for this film I decided to keep it simple by mainly using the demons from the first game.

Also I just wanna spoil the ending and just talk about that. Basically the survivors are Flynn, Reaper, Emma, and Samantha. But Flynn because he wants them all to survive and he personally wants to take on Hell himself. He makes sure they all escape to Earth, making sure none of the demons get to Earth.

Flynn takes on the Cyberdemon and kills it. Including he finds Bertruger and maybe kills him or Bertruger dies on his own. Maybe becoming the Maledict. But also Flynn purposely decides to trap himself in Hell to take on the forces of Hell. Which speaks volumes about his character because he wants to make sure no demons even set foot on Earth.

Including being in Hell gives him more power, such as more speed, more strength, and he can’t get tired. The demons prepare to brace themselves for their new found terror of the warrior who has literally stood up to them during the onslaught of Mars. With Flynn embracing his situation and runs towards the armies of Hell. In vengeance for every innocent person who was killed by the demons by also Daisy.

It’s also a call back to the ending of Doom 64. Along with the fact considering what happened with the first Doom film. While a excuctive producer said if the first film was successful, there would be a sequel, but the film bombed. Yet for this if a Hell On Earth happened. This film has a solid ending but it’s open in a way. With also a smooth transition to a sequel if it got one.

Also for this can we get a different director. Considering looking at the directors list of directed films on Wikipedia. Maybe someone else like Peter Berg, or Paul W.S. Anderson(Yes I said his name but I feel the director for the Doom movie might be not the best choice). I did think of including Robert Rodriguez, but I don’t know if I would trust him with how I envisioned this movie.

Besides I should say this, if wait Paul and Milla Jovovich weren’t married yet so she wouldn’t be involved. XD Besides I heard that Event Horizon by Paul W.S. Anderson is basically what the Doom movie should of been or something.

But yeah that’s a lot of wrote. Well I hope anyone who reads this enjoys this. Really it’s just a simple what if idea for that Doom movie. Just tell me your thoughts on this. Whether it’s an idea or advice. Again I just wanted to get this out of my system and out of the way. I’m done with the tags, hope you folks in the Doomguy tag don’t mind this.

Edit(also a 2nd edit forgot to put the last period at the end of this too) I’d forgot to mention if this got a Rotten Tomatoes score, it be 34% probably that, basically the 2002 Resident Evil’s score. I’d think I’ll leave it as that unless people think the film sounds better than it is.

John David Washington Defends Zendaya’s Role In Their Sexy New Movie & Their 12-Year Age Gap

Folks had something to say when they found out John David Washington and Zendaya are starring in a super sexy movie together. Why? Because of their age gap. The son of Denzel Washington responds to the criticism while on the promo trail for the film. Find out what he said inside…

John David Washington and Zendaya are gearing up for the release of Netflix's Malcolm & Marie.

The black-and-white romance drama is set over a single night as a couple argue about their past relationships after returning home from a movie premiere. There has been some criticism about the age gap between John and Zendaya. There’s a 12-year age gap between. John is 36 and Daya being 24.

Is she over 18 and a grown woman? Sure. But it's not just the technical age difference folks are saying they're uncomfortable with. The optics - and how young Zendaya "looks" next to him while performing these extremely intimate scenes - are a turn off for some people. Especially considering Hollywood's affinity for pairing VERY young looking women who are over 18 but may not look it, being intentionally paired with grown men.

The BlacKKKlansman actor – son of Denzel Washington - spoke to Variety while on the promo trail for the film and he defended his co-star, saying that was the least of his concern.

”I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman,” he said. “People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is.”

The 36-year-old actor said the 24-year-old “Euphoria” star has more experience in the industry, so she actually helped him portray his character.

”She has far more experience than I do in the industry. I’ve only been in it for seven years. She’s been in it longer, so I’m learning from her. I’m the rookie. I was leaning on her for a lot. Some of the stories she’s shared about what she’s had to go through with Twitter and everything. I appreciated her wisdom and discernment when it comes to this business. I admire that. What I’m really excited for people to see when the film is released – they’re going to see how mature she is in this role. We’re talking about versatility, and [director] Sam [Levinson] and Zendaya brought both.

Malcom & Marie was filmed over the summer, months after we were well into the COVID-19 pandemic, at the Caterpillar House. It’s an environmentally conscious ranch in Cali. With the pandemic, there were a lot of safety protocols put in place to film. With those protocols, John David said he “felt safe” filming the movie.

”I felt comfortable. I felt safe,” he said. “But I felt the need to do this so much that I was willing to risk it. We were in the facility, on a ranch, which was this beautiful resort, with plenty of space. Everybody had their own cabin; we had to get tested before we got there. We got tested when we got there. And then we tested a day before we checked in. Nobody was on the ranch except for us. So as long as nobody left the facility, I felt safe.”

Sweet. You can read the rest of his interview here.

Peep the trailer below:

The cinematography looks amazing, nonetheless.

“For later use” - Knowledge and cleverness in La belle sauvage

(A Character Study) SPOILER - I don´t think there a big or many spoilers. Mostly because I don´t finished La belle sauvage yet. This text is also a bit abstract about intelligence in general:) But I love Malcolm and I wanted to write about a charatcer trait which attracted my attention). So: I actually really like Malcolms “kind of knowledge.”

Tough he´s just eleven, you know, he´s sometimes a bit like a Lyra... while staying in his father´ s inn he´s just listening to all the interesting stuff, scientists and explorer´s are discussing about. astronomy things, physics, a strange kind of elementary particle called “dust”... Just scraps of specific knowledge and even if he don´t understand them completely, he just remembers. Like saving them somewhere in his head. “For later use”. It´s the same thing with this Doctor - Hanna? - he´s allowed to come to her, not just for spying, but also for lending some books from her. Malcom usally picks something fun like a thriller and then something scientific or philosopical. “A short story about history” (or sth like that?). It remembers me on Stephen Hawking somehow:D He´s just really interested in a lot of things. Okay, I think he already knew, but he never had a kind of “source” - but he learns some things you better understand if you just read about it. Where he´s more different from Lyra is his practical knowledge. Malcolm is a clever boy but without a kind of higher education. (Remember: Lyra grew up on a college) He´s on elementary school, but most of his free time he works on different places. With his parents on the inn (where he learns about cooking and the “chemistry behind cooking”:D) with the nuns of the Priory of St. Rosamund and their caretaker (so fixing stuff and thinks like that...) He has a lot of different tasks and loves to improve his qualities or to look how things work off-stage. He also doesn´t think some work or task is more simple than the other. He doesn´t judge non-educational work places. But that´s a diffferent topic:D More interesting: He thinks about how HE could improve the work of Sister Fernella or the care taker. How their job could be less stressful and try to activeley change a progress or to invent something new. He´s not really influenced by higher powers or power games, not the chosen-one like Lyra. But when politics effects the life of everyone, the church for example, Malcolm is also able to think about these kind of effects. He questions clericals concepts, not in a big-bang-theory kind of way (”is the really a god?” - altough sometimes he discusses these matters with the nuns of st. rosamund) but more like: “What would happen if I contribute? Or agree? Why should I?” Which is a very special thing for a eleven-year-old boy. Also - you can´t talk about His Dark Materials without daemons. So here we go. Malcolm doesn´t really argue with his daemon Asta. Not the way Lyra does. He calls her his “intuition”. I interpreted it like Asta his more his heart, while Pan is more Lyra´s head. Together Malcolm and Asta are unbeatable in watching and recognizing things. He really IS curious, but also more careful and reasonable. He knows when he needs to be quiet. I think Malcolm is a very special character. Not a Mary-Stu-Hero. Not a Genius. More a collector of many- and many, many brainy- things and way to clever for his age (but not so clever that it would seem unrealistic). He just loves to learn. And it´s not difficult or stressful, just a kind of side-effect. La belle sauvage just shows: There are a lot of different types of wisdom, knowledge & intelligence. You don´t have to be the child of academic or something. You don´t have to become a doctor or scientist to use your head. Real knowledge comes from within:) Again: I´m not finished the book yet, but I´m really interested about his way and his development:)

#la belle sauvage #character study #just some thoughts on malcom:)#his dark materials #follow the white rabbit (fandom stuff)#wit beyond measure (ravenclaw stuff)#yeah i think this counts for ravenclaw stuff :DD #important #the book of dust

Oscar Marzaroli

Exhibition : Shades of Oscar (StreetLevel Photoworks)

How does the flyer/poster advertise the exhibition? Asides from the information that was handed to us, i didn’t really see anything in the ways of flyers or posters for this particular exhibition. The video that streetlevel posted on youtube however was very informative and was and did pique my interest to go and see the work for myself.

What is the suitability of the gallery space? How is the space laid out? The Images at Street level were printed to an A4-A3 size, all framed the same way and mounted to the walls. There were also a few larger prints of his contact sheets which i thought was interesting as they had coloured lines on a few of the images, showing Marzaroli’s thought and ideas on how he wanted them cropped. Although they were all of the same general topic, a few images were grouped together as apposed to all being individual throughout the gallery.

How has the work been mounted? is it appropriate for the work? All the images were displayed in a thin black wooden frame with a white border and protected by glass. I think this way everything was displayed compliments the images well. The frames go with the mood of the images, it has a natural and simple feel to it and doesn't distract from the image itself but adds a clean sharp look.

Who made the work? All images seen at the gallery were shot by Oscar Marzaroli. (Image Source)

Who did they make it for? who is the audience? There was no sign of an obvious target market, but it’s implied that these images were mainly shot for himself. I think he wanted to record the community that was Glasgow and the constant changes that were being made during his life time.

How does it make you feel? At these images made me feel some sort of nostalgia. Although i wasn't born when these particular images were taken it makes me think of how much Glasgow (and Scotland it’s self) has changed from when i was a kid, it’s not something i had ever though about until now. If i were to try and describe the feeling it feels more dream like than memory.

if the work has a title does it make you think about the image/s differently? I don’t think the title of the images/exhibition change how i see them at all. An example would be “Shades of Marzaroli”, i feel this gives a clear idea of the work in the exhibition as a whole. I said in one of the previous questions these images show the reality of an ever-changing Glasgow and that was where Marzaroli felt more connected. All the images were reality through his eyes.

How would you describe it to someone later? Asides from stating the obvious of it being old school black and white film, I’d describe them as very clean and well times images. For me the first word that comes to mind is ghostly because of how the majority of my favourite images were lit (landscape, working and construction/buildings). i would describe them as clean but noisy and very in the moment. As a weird example looking at the images makes me thing of the into footage and music to ‘twin peaks’.

Does the photograph make you want to ask questions?

Was there a plan to any shoots in particular?

Which image was his favourite?

Why was the Castlemilk image so popular and how did it get recognised?

Is the photograph valuable? How do you know? I couldn't find any links or sources to say that this any of this work in particular was valuable. However, Due to the use of some of these images on things like album covers, it’s safe to say that there is/was some definite value to his work.

Is the work for sail and who might buy it? I couldn’t find any consistent information of any of this work being for sale but with a quick google search you can find out that his work has been put on auction before and has had offers from £523 to £4470. Price however will always depend on the size of the work/print.

What information is available about the artist(s)? (Sources : Video)

Born in Italy (1933)

Traveled back and forward from Italy and Glasgow often.

Parents set up businesses in Glasgow during his childhood.

Confirmed for Tuberculosis at 18.

Has two daughters (Nicola and Marie Marzaroli)

Strong socialist view, very egalitarian.

Glasgow was his chosen home.

Died at 57 (1990).

Who organised the exhibition and who selected the work? The exhibition it’s self was organised by Malcom Dickson at streetlevel photoworks work as part of a regional screening that he had done over summer during lockdown. The images used were selected by Marie-Claire Marzaroli.

Tidak dinafikan bahawa Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL) sekarang merupakan liga yang paling diminati oleh para billionaire untuk melabur di kelab yang terdapat didalam liga tersebut.Terdapat separuh kelab yang berada di divisyen satu liga tersebut adalah dimiliki oleh para billionaire tempatan dan juga asing. Mari kita lihat siapakah bilionaire yang memiliki kelab yang terkenal di EPL dan sumber perniagaan yang dimiliki oleh para pemilik mereka. 12. Everton FC: Farhad Moshiri — $1.9 bilion Umur: 65 Kerakyatan: Iran Sumber pendapatan: Beliau merupakan seorang pelabur didalam bidang perlombongan.Dia merupakan imigran dari Iran yang memiliki kerakyatan Britain dan membina empayar perniagaan bersama dengan seorang sahabat baiknya Alisher Usmanov. Sebelum memiliki Everton, beliau merupakan salah seorang pemegang saham terbesar Arsenal. 11. Liverpool FC: John Henry — $2.7 bilion Umur: 70 Kerakyatan: Amerika Syarikat Sumber pendapatan: Beliau merupakan seorang trader didalam bidang saham yang kemudianya merubah bidang pelaburan didalam industri sukan. Selain kelab terrnama ini, dia juga mempunyai beberapa pegangan kelab sukan ternama yang lain di Amerika Syarikat. Dibawah pemilikannya, Liverpool kembali menjadi kelab gergasi di peringkat EPL dan juga Eropah. 10. Newcastle United: Mike Ashley — $2.9 bilion Umur: 55 Kerakyatan: Britain Sumber pendapatan: Beliau merupakan ahli perniagaan barangan sukan yang paling berjaya di Britain. Syarikatnya iaitu Sports Direct merupakan syarikat yang menjual pelbagai barangan sukan berjenama. Walaupun memiliki kewangan yang kukuh, kelab ini dikatakan terumbang-ambing di bawah pemilikan beliau kerana kurang perancangan yang teliti untuk kelab terbabit.
