Totalitarianism: enter Taylor Swift

Look ok i get it: Kanye should not have done "that" to Taylor Swift (and i say "That" because i do not truly believe he did anything wrong) but the events at the country music awards PROVE that in this country black people are only as human as they are obedient to their position.

After Taylor COINCIDENTALLY won female vocalist, album, and entertainer of the year (might have gotten one of those wrong) she finished her speech by saying "..and i want to thank every person in this room for not running up on stage during the speech!" Now, this is the same girl who in NUMEROUS interviews said " Kanye called me to apologize, and i accepted. Everything's fine." To me that's just straight phony - i don't know how people can't see through her. They completely buy the wholesome young girl-power teen artist thing she gives off, and of course the 'country' artist thing also pretty much making her Americas fucking sweetheart. She's a regular girl " but she wears short skirts, and i wear t-shirts..." Now Taylor, i know your ass has a miniskirt. You also wear make-up, get your hair, nails, and skin treated. Are you SERIOUSLY trying to pass yourself off as innocent and low maintenance? Ha. ok.See, that kind of phoniness calls your character into question. And for me when your character is in question as a representative of america, women in america, and white women in america.... i have a problem.

oh and btw, why is that we as a country can excuse rape because 1 or two of the individuals were drunk, but when a black man drinks and bothers a helpless little white girl - there is no excuse?  And don't even act like we don't do that as a country! How else do you explain the overwhelming consistency of womens sexual histories and "party" habits being brought up in court, in the police station, or even at the scene? Or we excuse the man from his actions because obviously he couldn't "help himself" because of alcohol. or "he didn't know what he was doing, he was drunk, he's not really like that". Ya, explain that.

Speaking of her triumphence at the country music awards, Bessem and i were talking today and she helped me come to the a VERY telling conclusion. --->Many country music stars were reported to have said that they were upset with the young stars wins. It was their assertion that she "didn't put in the work" and by that i assume "the work" is being dedicated to and expanding upon and in the country music scene. Now, Kanye said the same thing as these people! A single black man takes a moment of raw and uninhibited emotion to storm the stage and say what he feels is immediately true regarding current events - while a group of seasoned artists quietly and strategically express their discontent in an interview. In private. Where things can OBVIOUSLY be manipulated. Now i ask you: who's REALLY being shady? Bottom line is both Kanye and numerous artists in the country music scene agree that Taylor swift is undeserving of pretty much every award given to her lately.

Speaking of, exactly how many awards are we going to give this girl? No amount of awards will cure the fact that he racism flared up when Kanye came to the stage. She was stunned, initially star stuck, until she realized the nigger wasn't there to kiss her feet and praise her beautiful porcelain skin. Basically she was appalled and shocked that Kanye ( who USED to fit nicely for white people with his affirmations that black women were gold diggers, and his clinging obsession to burberry) could, would, and did pass judgment on her ability to obtain the award. But seriously, Her video was NOT better than beyonce's and i don't even like b. But i know th truth. And the truth is Beyonce is a hardworking black woman who lost her award to a random 'country aritist' at an award show that is specifically for diverse music purposes.

Kanye is being punished for not kissing wp's ass and putting the work, dedication, and presence of black people before all else - - this is a heroic and (obvi) socially dangerous action but someones got to do it. As for as im concerned Kanye is a radical dude when needed. This is also the same man that randomly uttered "george bush doesn't care about black people" when dealing with katirna. Hmm, but radical white people liked him then. didn't they? But as always in history when a black man dares to defile a white woman social, emotional, economical, and even physicaly death are known reponses.

I hate racism, and i can spot it.

Oh, and did i mention that T. swift won 5 American music awards but was conveniently absent from the event (keeping attention on herself) ?  Hmm. ya, no way thats intentional. She's just more talented than every other musical artist in america right now.....right, and slavery never happened!

You SHOULD be ashamed.

"Rihana is a hoe and you know what to do with a hoe when she gets out of line; you smack a hoe. Cant wait till the day Steadman beats the shit out of Oprah, that would truly call for a real celebration. Take your feminist shit somewhere Sister. We have more burning issues than some hoe being smacked silly for being silly."




riiiiiight, and i supposed to respect, have sex with, love, and NOT be threatened? m'kay.

The girl who never laughed...with you.

I'm all about positive images as much as negative ones but i've got to be honest: im not too too excited about 'prescious'

do i have to say it?

Impulsive. [Season 9, Ep. 3]

How does law and order: svu contribute to the womens movement?

Well it's very subtle. And im sure most of my readers are thinking that it's not possible, but it is to me. Law and Order: SVU without a doubt has some shady plot lines. You know, the ones where they conviently ( and for the perpetuation of  'true' equality) have a huge trial where a female rapist is apprehended, and Elliot (of course) has to learn a lesson about not always assuming men are the perpatraitors? Ya, thoes are a mess.Still love the show, but i mean really. Oh! And remember the episode where diane neal played an uptown, very successful, female, rapist? She and her friends apparently killed their other friend because she was going to report that they raped a male stripper at her bachelorette party? Again, please tell me the point of that. All that does it hightlight exceptions and completely draw attention away for the facts, problem, statistics. Basically it is non-productive. But here's a way they make up for some of thoes flaws...

In the 9th season the episode "impulsive" deals very candidly with a young male student claiming to be raped by his female teacher: melissa joan hart! Now i ask you what are the politics of that? Sabrina the teenage witch plays a waspy english teacher? I never saw that coming. Anyway, so the male student reports her as his rapist. Elliot and Oliva go to his school, ask the teacher out of her classroom and arrest her for rape. However, as she is being arrested the teacher then reports that it was the other way around: the student raped her.

The next scene each of the accusers is in a separate interrogation room. The camera switches back and forth between the two with the use of a class POV( point of view) shot. One minute the camera allows us to see/experience the situation as the teacher, and then you're suddenly yanked from that world to see/experience what it would be like as the student. It's a classic film/tv technique that is supposed to make you feel multiplied! It's supposed to make you question yourself and what you believe. It litterally turns you (the viewer) into two people at once.

So when the two are in different rooms telling their version of the story. And they do agree on some things: they had sex in the students house, they had sex in the bedroom, that was in his house to tutor him for a major exam(psat's, sat's....), and that they only had sex once. Of course the only disagreement is who for who into having sex. And this is where i started to get nervous, but then the characters had an exchange that actually provoked thought and expressed genuine exploration into the subject of rape. The student described how his teacher was kissing and storking him "i  couldn't help it" he said " i was excited." When the teacher explained the story however she repeated words like/phrases like "forced", " made to..".

Now i do not intend to say that men cannot be raped, thats just not true because anyone whith a penatrable spot on their body can be raped. And to extend that even further, anyone who is/was/can be/has been/ forced into sexual situations by coersion, manipulation, desperation, shame, cultural expectation or plain violence. What i found interesting about this moment in the story was that the writers (unknown to them or not) really probed this idea of how 'rape' happens. When the male student said he 'couldn't help it, he was excited' what i heard was ' i really didn't wanna have sex with her bro, but she started touching me, kissing, pretty much throwing herself on me so what could i do? i fucked her, but i totally didn't mean to". Get me? It just kinda decodes as something a stereotypical frat brother would say (disclaimed: i do not mean all frat boys, i said sterptypical  - but please note that sterotypes come from somewhere so it's not all that easy to ignore). I understand that she was his teacher, but thats just it - thats the real offense. The real offsense of it is age and authority. If the teacher did 'rape' him heres what will NOT follow him in years to come as he attempts to rebuild his life after a female predator 'raped' him: fear of pregnancy, fear of vagina taring/having vaginal tearing, catching something that results in repoductive issues, having your rapist legally stop you from aborting his biological seed, having your sex life attributed to the fact that you were raped, being told what you wear was why you were raped/or why you will get raped, people telling you that any of your behavior will get you raped, having a member of the species that raped you say things like "we're not all bad"  or "well now you know so if you can't get raped again", being raped on a subway, bus, train, plane, automobile, in the street, at a fair, in an alley, on the sidewalk, in a car, at the movies, at a wedding, in a church, at a party, at your bestfriends house, at the beach, in your dorm room, in your hall bathroom, in the shower, in a class room, or in your own home. Thats just keeping it real. In these examples, even the other episodes i talked about, the men who were raped were in positions of 'helplessness'. A male prostitute and a student? Would anyone call it rape if there were a business man and a pro tennis player? doubtful!

The message basically reads: men who submit to feminine lifestyles ( postitution ) or men who are ,sadly, seduced by women with too much power (meaning any power at all) are allowed to call it rape. But women, who have been/are raped all the time, by friends, family memebers, upstading citizens, doctors, dentists, teachers, coaches, hall directors, employers, or even on occasion, strangers, are just sluts who wore slutty clothes, and have sex, drink, drug, and dont go to church! they got what they deserved. hmm, thats right, keep telling you'reself that.
