Racism in UK -- Rapper Akala

MonkeySpank says...

Well, what pisses off me about racism in the States is that we enslaved people for 200+ years, made them live in shacks and treated them like cattle. We pretty much stripped them of dignity and all that is human to the point where many of them believed it, then we said: "Hey, you are free now, so act like us!" What in the funking funk is that kind of logic? Do we expect them to say, "Thanks for the freedom, now I'll just erase the indoctrination and all the memory and I'll magically be jolly jumping ideal citizen like the best examples of your race." What adequate tools did we give them to re-engage in society?

We often expect a tabula rasa from African Americans when in fact we ruined them and should heavily reinvest in them for at least a few decades, if not centuries. Racism based on half-assed logic boils my blood more than pure racism.

even if modern western [white] culture is the least racist, the problems seem to stem from the fact that it is the dominant culture. so whatever racism there is, it's magnified significantly.

for example: the internet often likes to claim that black american culture is way more racist than white american culture. assuming this to be true, look at how little an effect this has. black communities, groups, event, whatever organization can be as racist as they want and we as white people essentially laugh it off as being funny or ignore it or use it as political leverage. it doesn't effect us unless we go out of our way to let it effect us.

then look at the reverse, assuming white culture is the least racist. it categorically devastates communities, groups, generations, events, etc. even after decades of us collectively and actively trying to not be racist, systemic or otherwise.

I SOOOO wanted to love this...but what the hell happened to George Clinton?!? Seeing Bernie looking so emaciated made me sad. Bootsy, no surprise, looks pretty much the same. Please don't let this be the last time we get see them together.
Still some *quality funk.

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - DOWNTOWN (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

moonsammy says...

I don't quite know what to make of it. It's like Uptown Funk with a more 70s / 80s vibe, plus a lanky skeevy drag king (?) who seems to sound like 90s Michael Jackson... sort of ends all Ferris Bueller. Strange.

Teens react to encyclopedias

My parents bought me the cheap Funk and Wagnall(sp?) from a local Albertson store that just opened. We finally got rid of them in 2008 during the nest's remodelling. In the new nest, there were even older Worldbooks left from the previous owners. However, they were worthless according to eBay!

I spent umpteen hours thumbing through and reading World Book and Childcraft encyclopedias we had.

We had these https://mlmerillat.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/childcraft.jpg
and these http://community.expatica.com/public/classified/96/e5/01/1e2b2_cc12.jpg?c=f8d0

Thanks for the sift as it brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth.
