No respect for racists. No sympathy. No patience. No understanding. Nothing. They don’t get to deny entire groups of people their humanity and still expect to have their humanity respected.

Remember caricaturist Alfred Frueh from this other letter to his fiancee? Well, only a few weeks before that one he sent her this 3-D masterpiece, a letter that opens up to reveal a miniature art gallery.

Alfred Joseph Frueh to Giuliette Fanciulli, 1913 Jan. 10. Alfred J. Frueh papers, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.

Love it!

Ha. I just happened to have downloaded this Zack Morris pic to draw the other day. And then I saw the Biebster throwing the same fit in the future version of that same outfit.

"Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison...."

Sun, 19 May 2013 20:38:30 -0400

“Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have the integrity to stand alone.

A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.”

Though I despise the word mature - this pretty much sums up my love life.

Gonna quickly throw in an epic quote I found on this article.

KJKJ: Gene Roddenberry, with balls of brass, got up on national tv and said, “hey people, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from planet Earth and put it together to make the best human the world has ever seen - he wouldn’t be a white guy.”

This is why I find the casting of a white actor in this role to be so repugnant. They are not whitewashing an Asian role, they are saying that the best genetic material that the entirety of this world and it’s diversity has to offer….still comes from a white guy.

Reblogging again for that

Omg yes

Passive Resistance Training, SNCC, Atlanta, GA, 1960, by James Karales, courtesy Duke University Library

(http://www.flickr.com/photos/photo-tractatus/4915553610/in/photostream/)

people had to be trained to deal wit the evil of white people

I hope this makes it clear to folks that non-violence as expressed during the Civil Rights Movement was not simply a moral or political choice. It was a tactical application as well.

Do y’all think SNCC, SCLC, CORE, MLK, Jr. or anyone else wanted to witness their people being beaten, that they wanted to stay their fists and guns when their CHILDREN were being murdered? If you do, I suggest you go back to history class, because MLK, Medgar Evers, Bayard Rustin, almost any person you can think of who advocated non-violence had armed guards and personnel in place for their and their people’s safety.

Non-violence as a resistance strategy was an attempt at provocation. Recognize that. Recognize that’s why these folks are training. Because they’re performing provocation through passive resistance. By not striking back they were illustrating the madness and vitriol of white supremacy. They were exposing in the most dramatic manner possible the denial of their humanity.

Understand: This was not turn the other cheek, this was looking into the eyes of the Devil and not backing down.

this is a damn good point to counter all the nonviolence moralistic liberal bullshit going on continuously in activist spaces.

Can we also take a moment to talk about how important it was that the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee had the foresight to bring in a professional photographer to create a document of this sort of training. That the conversation taking place in this tumblr thread is only occurring today because of a photographic record created years ago is a testimony to the importance of the photographer to radical discourses.

Bolded for emphasis.

Accused murderer, Alisa Massaro, 18, lived in the house where murders took place.

Accused murderer, Joshua Miner, 24, caught while playing video games with Massaro near crime scene.

Accused murderer, Adam Landerman, also was caught playing games with Minor and Massaro.

Accused murderer, Bethany McKee, 18, caught in a nearby town.

Enforcement Officials say Eric Glover, 22, was murdered by four brutal teens

Terrence Rankins, 22, body was also found in the same house. Friends with Glover for five years, attempted mother says.

White youth ‘kill and try to dismember’ two black males in a trap at their residence and are arrested as they play video games near the dead bodies

In Joliet, Illinois, the bodies of two black males were found in the residence of a Racist Suspect, while three of the accused murderers play video games near the crime scene. The victims were strangled to death and their bodies showed signs of attempted dismemberment. Enforcement officials say the brutal crime was at the hands of four white youth. They also have reported that the Victims may have been lured to the residence of Alisa Massaro, Racist/murder Suspect, and then “robbed and killed”. The Victims were missing for two days before they were found.

Suspected Racist enforcement officials attempt to dismiss the role Racism (White Supremacy) may have played in the heinous crime. Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will county State’s Attorney office said there was “…no information at this point that indicates race was a factor in the killings of Glover and Rankins.”

Racism (White Supremacy) is the dominant social order on the planet. Therefore, Race always has something to do with the experiences of people who are classified as black/non-white, particularly if that experience involves mistreatment inflicted upon them by people who classify themselves as “white” who in all likelihood may very well be Racists (White Supremacists).

TV Party: Basquiat Interview (1979)

In 1979, a nineteen-year-old Jean-Michel Basquiat appeared on Glenn O’Brien’s infamous TV Party public access show.

Basquiat was brought on because his growing street notoriety as “SAMO” – his graffiti alter-ego – and his coolness is clearly contagious.

AWESOME

Tue, 14 May 2013 22:37:12 -0400

“Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or pacifists achieve that legendary “critical mass.””

- -Peter Gelderlos, Why Nonviolence Protects the State- Nonviolence is Racist (via tahlalaliaaa)

Note gelderloos is white and an activist who went to jail and learned a lot from within the system. Learned a lot from poc in prison and is pretty young too. I think he makes a lot of credits to poc and Black people make a large part of the biblio of this book from what I remember
