Maybe some of y'all have seen it?<br /><br />In that piece he uses a metaphor - black letters written against a white background - to describe the situation of a very thin minority of black males attending UCLA. Like I say, effective. Well done.<br /><br />Now, maybe it's because I have Asperger's Syndrome and my brain can be a real douchebag about details, but two seconds after the video ended, I thought to myself - "Wait, self, what about blackboards? Those have white letters written against a black background."<br /><br />I think there are actually two metaphors there. Two metaphors in a situation that maybe has two sides?<br /><br />Then there's the whole n-word thing. Who is right? Charles Barkley or Jeffrey Wright? One black guy who says the n-word is okay sometimes among "black people" (whoever they are) and one who says it's not right among any people ever?<br /><br />Of COURSE there are various opinions about this, just as there are various opinions about everything.<br /><br />I'm going somewhere with this, I just know it, so bear with me.<br /><br />Then there's the Iraq War. Did we invade or were we begged by the international community to go help those poor Iraqi Kurds? Did we wreck the place, or was it a wreck before we ever got there and we just failed to fix it?<br /><br />Now, back to point - is there any way for a so-called white person to discuss race at all? Does it exist as an issue and is the white person merely discussing an issue that existed before they ever came along? Or, is the white person CREATING the issue by discussing it?<br /><br />If you ask me, what makes it legitimate to discuss a film as a race-themed film would be two things - <br /><br />1) Is there a disproportionate number of ethnically-diverse people in it?<br /><br />2) Is the premise of the movie literally about race?<br /><br />I don't even know if that dumbass date movie qualifies. What I do know is I'm becoming damned confused. The message I'm actually taking away is - if you have the NERVE to discuss race, then go ahead and discuss it at the risk of pissing some folks off. Note - folks get pissed off anyhow, by everything.<br /><br />I've said it before I have a disfigurement, I look like Quasimodo. All I can tell you is, if I saw a movie review of "Mask" or "The Man Without a Face" I wouldn't get all bent out of shape if it were described as a "disability-themed movie". <br /><br />It's not actually a disability in many, many ways. In many wars it would be wrong to describe it that way.<br /><br />But we have to discuss it, and that means it's going to be discussed MOSTLY by people who don't actually have a facial disfigurement. Some comments are going to SEEM insensitive from my point of view, but there's a bigger fact to consider -<br /><br />The discussion is being had, and that's important.<br /><br />So, I don't actually CARE if that dumb movie is racially-themed. I want to know how we discuss one that is. Please tell me that. <br /><br />Off-the-cuff, if it has more than the real-life 12% of black people in it, it just might actually be "racially-themed" - or at least "ethnically-diverse". Maybe that's wrong, please feel free to let me know.<br /><br />Just goddamn stop getting pissed and understand it's a little tough to discuss inequity itself equitably. There are some innate challenges there.quantum0d0https://www.blogger.com/profile/15492468618739231054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-20479814520482912952013-11-18T12:22:41.222-05:002013-11-18T12:22:41.222-05:00William P.

The global industrial revolution began i...<b>PART TWO</b><br /><br />The global industrial revolution began in the U.K. in the late 18th century. The historian Robin Blackburn has noted<br /><br /><b>”Working on figures for 1770, triangular trade profits may have provided anything between 20.9% and 55% of Britain's gross fixed capital formation.”</b><br /><br /><i>(source: The Making of New World Slavery: from the Baroque to the Modern, 1492-1800. By Robin Blackburn, Verso, 1997 (Pbk, 1998).)</i><br /><br />In other words slavery was the venture capital that the global industrial revolution was built on.<br /><br />In the USA early plantations struggled to make a profit, even when employing white prisoners and indentured servants. When word got back to UK about the horrific working conditions and short life expectancy of servants, the supply started to dry up. The planters had to look elsewhere for their supply of cheap labor. Indeed white servants and black slaves worked together in rebellions against their horrific conditions (of which the ‘Bacon Uprising’ was the most famous). Though these bi-racial rebellions were relatively rare, they so terrified the slave owners they brought in the segregation legislation that would last through to the second half of the twentieth century. This had the useful side-effect of eventually giving a burgeoning racial identity to the indentured servants. The servants knew being white meant they could not be slaves, and gave them limited civil rights. This is how capitalism divides and conquers the proletariat in it’s search for profit.<br /><br />As for slaveries role in early American capitalism, Eric Williams pointed out..<br /><br /><b>”The early industrial processes involved a lengthy turnover time. In other words a capitalist might have to wait a long time to realize the profits from an investment. In such circumstances credit was vital. The profits of slavery helped to lubricate this process. Financial bills, drawn on plantation products such as sugar or tobacco, began to circulate as a form of money. In the absence of sufficient institutional sources of credit, plantation funds helped to fill the gap.</b> <br /><br /><i>(source: Eric Williams, Capitalism and Slavery 1944.
