I've just seen Avatar - and unlike you...Sarah,<br /><br />I've just seen Avatar - and unlike you , I really loved it. I can see why you think its a race hate film with white people villified but they were trying to take something that wasn't theirs from a people more "primitive" just for financial gain. It looked like the blue people didn't want any of the technology or education the white people offered - they just wanted to stay as they are on their land. In this regard it does resemble colonialism. Not all of the white people in the movie were bad - as long as they understood that you don't take something that belongs to someone else - what am I missing?<br /><br />LilliputAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-73905448293176927182010-02-07T12:53:59.095-08:002010-02-07T12:53:59.095-08:00I always liked(and still do) Black music like Chic...I always liked(and still do) Black music like Chicago or Delta Blues, Soul and much of Tamla Motown,but they could only give this form by using technology invented by us suchas guitars, wind or stringed instruments. Blues grew from a distinct people in a particular situation in southern states and is a real culture. Its an example to us who need to develop cultural expressions of our sufferings under the elites. This for example is bloody marvellous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAwjZLztd28<br /><br />But nature is cruel and I think we have to accept that instead of trying to live in a fantasy of equality etc we have to accept reality.<br />They can not restrain themselves and this builds up great problems for the next generation. Anyone who has lived and worked in inner cities knows many Black men in their 50s who are lonely and stop peoplein the street for conversation. Its because they walked out on their families when younger.<br /><br />http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog.cfmmisterfoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-1006199962963307002010-02-07T12:31:02.500-08:002010-02-07T12:31:02.500-08:00And these lies are being enforced by the controlle...And these lies are being enforced by the controlled main stream media in the US.

White folks even had to discover their own country for them. Black African countries remain the most backward on earth, Liberia being the most backward of all, having no white colonial roots. So much for black 'genius.'<br /><br />I think all these so-called 'black inventions' came about in developed Western nations, which speaks volumes in itself.<br /><br />(I recall as an academic teaching Chemical Engineering for 26 years in HE, we had numerous black students, from here and o'seas. With exceptions that I could count on the fingers of one hand, they were always in the bottom third of the class at exam time, consistently outclassed academically by their white and Asian counterparts.)<br /><br />It may be worth repeating a comment I sent in July last year:<br /><br />There's a joke in the southern US about a northerner who goes there to research and write a book on black history and meets up with a white southern ole boy, who says he's writing a book on black history as well.<br /><br />The northerner asks, <i>"What are you putting in it?"</i><br /><br />The southerner says, <i>"Well, I thought I'd have a chapter on entertainment, so I'll put Denzel Washington in there. Then I'll have a chapter on sports, so I'll put Tiger Woods in there. I'll have a chapter on politics, so I'll put Jesse Jackson in there and so on."</i><br /><br />The northerner asks, <i>"Have you got a title for your book?"</i><br /><br />The southerner says <i>"Yes, I have. I thought I'd call it 'Some [Afro-Americans]* I have known."</i><br /><br />*The original is a little stronger.<br /><br />A lot of truth in that, I suggest.alanoreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013953165470026155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-56415763737115863012010-02-07T07:13:04.225-08:002010-02-07T07:13:04.225-08:00A week ago, I got a bulk email listing all the &qu...A week ago, I got a bulk email listing all the "accomplishments" of Black inventors. Quite impressive, and what a feat that all this "history" was hidden from us. While I acknowledge the fact that ... sometimes many previous minds contribute to the final invention being invented and all credit is thus given to the last person to make it happen, leaving many unsung heroes, (and also the fact that history is written by the victors) I researched the claims of this email and it was so easily debunked in my eyes as to be embarrassing. Spanning the gamut and stretching the limits from out and out lies, to half-truths, to "tweaked the invention," to "the man was 1/16th Black and looked White but he was really African-American due to the One Drop Rule" this email was a feeble attempt at revisionist history. Sad, really, when you can't honestly admit who you are and be content without robbing other people of who they are. You lie to your own children to prop up your own frail ego. Pathetic and dangerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
