they don't exactly need guns to be the Taliban or to be cruel and oppressive to women.

 

This is a cacophony of dumb takes

Well he was right about being banned, but we don't know for how long since the mods didn't have the stones to put in a ban reason or a duration.

User Banned (Duration Pending Review): Antisemitic Rhetoric; Prior Bans for Advocating Fraud and Violence

Disappointing to see, but we knew it was coming and quick. I hope they bring over anyone that wants to come over.

its americas stance, another Israel enemy toppled over. Its bigger than the president.

Yeah, no, it will certainly not be a progressive nation lol. The Taliban *are* the violent extremists.

Yep, so violent that they're meeting with china.

www.aljazeera.com
Chinese officials and Taliban meet, in sign of warming ties
Meeting in Chinese city of Tianjin comes as US-led foreign forces continue pulling out of Afghanistan.
www.aljazeera.com www.aljazeera.com

Goal is some sort of taliban/afghan state. Which im sure Chinas $$$$ will likely deliver. I mean, I imagined they'd spit in the face of china and go ahead with their jihad, but apparently that isn't the case. Even during our USA press conferences, they're referring to the taliban like its a body of government.

We just wasted a ton of lives for something that seemingly had a diplomatic solution. Ugly as it may be, the alternative is forever occupation which no one wants. And its not like we're not BFF"s with israel/saudi arabia. SO there is a level of tolerance we have for horrors.

This quote is out of line. Many holistic medical practices are evidence based - ie herbs, acupuncture and others.

What you dont seem to understand is Medicine is ruled by pharma- they dictate what is taught in medical school and the non pharmaceutical healing modalities are not where their profits live and so it is not taught. Since doctors are not taught it, many choose to belive it is because these modalities dont work. If only actual medical outcomes dictated research and education rather than profit first, our treatment options would be more vast and effective.

In a way medicine as it is taught and practice and regulated is a type of quackery.

I think the first poster meant homeopathic but said holistic

holistic is not necessarily equivalent to "alternative medicine" or even "natural medicine" it literally just means taking a holistic approach to health

This is definitely going to go well -

I live in NYC and am an artist. I am being mentored by a renown black artist. He is schooling me in the biz. I have began to build a professional and creative network and a lot of them are black and their work is almost always, universally, typified by their blackness. It's so banal and ubiquitous here that it feels like a giant fucking grift, where talent isn't rewarded so much as being black is.

It's getting hard to hold back my tongue and just flat out say,"your work sucks and your blackness is the only reason you're here. Please tell us something about you besides your blackness."

He makes some good points. I bet there's going to be a very rational discussion about his situation.

Yeah, that's going to get abusive and locked in less than two pages.

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing your thoughts OP. I will also read that locked thread.

This sort of reminds me of issues I see with creative arts in the Caribbean, where there is also a fine line between celebrating one's culture and ethnicity (which is valued in general at least in the countries I've been to) and making your art solely about that to the exclusion of all else. I think some of the most successful creatives I've seen here never lose sight of what they view as their identity, but leverage all sorts of other ideas (even European/Classical ones) in an interesting kind of syncretism to form something multifaceted and unique. I've more seen this with authors and poets than visual artists, but I'm sure it exists for vis art down here too. I'm quite out of the loop.

Space Lion said:
If black people can make work that resonates with people because it's related to the human condition and aspires as much as it inspires, we can likely gain more international acceptance rather than if we just made black art for black people along ever continuing rigid lines

Related to this I think a lot of people underestimate the degree to which human beings can empathize with and find value in stuff that speaks to them even if made for a cultural context that is reasonably distant from their own. Stuff like Marxism finding a foothold in Caribbean discourse and politics because of the comparisons of the bourgeoisie and proletariat to the masters and enslaved. Or post colonial literature and theory in general, despite being often created in the context of a particular nation in a particular decade following independence, can help influence debate in other countries about general international and cultural imperial relationships.

Regardless, thanks for so clearly explaining your case. Keen to see what discussion comes out of this thread.

The OP and this guy should go and sit in a cafe somewhere and have a nice conversation.

And it's locked. So much for listening to minorities

I locked your thread the last time because I said Era isn't the place for you to discuss this- specifically, it's not the place for you to discuss how much you absolutely hate Black people and their accomplishments to the point of delusional historical revisionism, and the fact that a bunch of whites came in completely oblivious to what this was displays why Era isn't the place to discuss this.
 

No reflection allowed.

The lock message is so off putting: "Bunch of whites". 

Nepenthe lacks tact.

I'd love to hear her and Lous Farrakhan have a discussion about the Jews

[Rman]

Permabanned!

[Snoopycat_]

Well, that's a surprise. I wonder if Nep wears a fez while she moderates

[ldcommando (notthegafone)]

Nepnep does not fuck around

[Snoopycat_]

She's another one who seems to be very angry all the time. Probably spends a lot of time frowning at baristas and categorizing skull shapes

dude was a fool for starting a thread which would require nuance, deep thoughts and considered opinions, on reset era dot com in the first place

[SmokyDave]

"how much you absolutely hate Black people and their accomplishments"

Goddamn, the fragility 

[Propagandhim]

The worst part is how black artists are cajoled into this corral of creative stagnancy. I fear that if my career goals line up, I'll still be forced by my bosses to only make pictures pertaining to blackness. What about the recent Afghan situation? What about the War on Terror? What about the ripple effects that has on views on military? Or Islam/Muslims? I'm really interested in the sociology of what makes us human and the webs that we are connected to, and too often it feels like this is an attitude only afforded by non-black artists. 

This could be such an interesting discussion..and the OP has really insightful thoughts..but Nepenthe has to make sure the only engagement on this whack ass site is "Fuck offff".

    This is really interesting to read. Do you feel your career would be limited by creating art not related to your blackness?

Not so fast, there.  Nepenthe doesn't like this thread so fuckofffff.  There's a nice thread about some trailer trash cracker flipping out in a mall that you can bide your time in.
