yeah still very junior as a poet. i don't think slam poetry is quite the thing for stately occasions. but she has presence.

something a little bit odd hearing an old black preacher talk about 'reaping sustainable harvests'.

sounds a bit like a architects' brochure.

LORD, let us reap SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY fruits, and undertake our LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT labour in your NAME

So as he spoke of the native americans for a split second, what actually is their level of political representation? Seems to me they're often forgotten despite the whole emancipation and equality/justice push.

oh god please don't do the dilbert routine again of 'black people are pushing out native americans for their own self-aggrandizement'.

I was thinking more about the message they're sending with this. Weren't they all propping up Fauci as a hero? How about actually listening to the man. 6 ft, people.

It's good to be reassured in the knowledge that all this touching wouldn't fly for a second where I'm from. People would be shocked.

But fuck it after 4 years Trump, I take it.
If you want excitement, keep watching MAGA buffoonery. Or come to BF2S where beach landings and PTSD get mocked for two pages. We have all sorts of spins going on here, even without Jay's participation.

Personally I'm looking forward to all the horrible alt-right antichrist cartoons of Biden and Harris and how they want to take your guns and your Christmas.

In fairness, gunless-pagan-winter-holiday just sounds painfully boring.

The right wing has been running the meme that Harris is a slut who slept her way to the top. They are probably going to segue that into 'she is fucking Biden".

the right-wing really only knows how to conceive of women as one way, and it always involves sex weaponized in the form of smut/sleaze/shame.

about the best treatment they've ever managed is sarah 'MILF porn fantasy' palin.

Well you're too late.

It will be interesting to see where America is down the track, with blacks affirmative actioned into better, more powerful roles - which is to say better opportunities for nepotism and corruption.

Whats going to happen when a black company owner decides he wants all black staff, a govt department head the same, or blacks are just generally over-represented and whites, asians, hispanics and certainly native americans under-represented. Any push for equality will be anti-blackism which will be as bad as anti-semitism.

It will then degrade into black tribalism, there'll be squabbles over how many nigerian-americans vs caribbean-americans, how many actual descendants of slaves vs recent refugees, whether descendants of plantation slaves should be treated better than house servants etc etc.

Anyway, best of luck.

i think america is a very very long way off whites being under-represented, especially when you consider it's projected to become a non-white majority country by 2045'ish.

the fact when we discuss american politics or american history or american culture here, we are 95% of the time really only talking about white people, is perhaps a good indication of the disparity, don't you think?

when's the last time you actually took an interest in black history, dilbert? in viewing the civil rights movement as an actually significant thing for a sizeable portion of the american populace, and not just a stratagem or skirmish in some 'culture war', from the perspective of a defensive white?

NYT sent an alert out saying there is an inauguration concert today. Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, and John Legend plus others. My reaction was "this big Hollywood event will alienate 'Middle America' " Thinking it over...

If they get offended by John Legend's 'Ordinary People' then that is a them problem. No one is forcing them to watch the big concert.

A coworker was talking to me about what she was seeing on a live feed, so this actually was the first inauguration I watched any reasonable amount of. I was surprised by the Lady Gaga and J. Lo appearances, but whatever. Rich people gonna do out of touch rich people shit.

Biden is about to do more in 5 business days than Trump did in his entire tenure. That's just embarrassing.

I think is cringe too but of all rich people media people are still the ones who most interact with the plebs and recruit from within them too. Arts students at major universities have a better chance at becoming famous than any miner has at becoming an oil baron. R voters kiss the oil baron's ass even though you often can directly trace their actions to poisoned ground water. Lady Gaga tells gay kids to be happy and R voters treat her fame like a crime against humanity.
