Thnx for the reply. Well, I guess tha...Mr. Cooper:<br /><br />Thnx for the reply. Well, I guess that my idea of a Southern black community that might be acceptable to the conservative is one of sharecropping, black spirituals and, if I'm not mistaken, community self-help and the desire for racial justice. I read an online article by Anthony Samad about Mr Cosby and BET and, well, he does not agree with it being "black culture" for one thing. And no, there was not any idea of sarcasm with my previous reply.<br /><br />Thanks also for the message about your "pretty great" temptation...<br /><br />IdrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251777016037497783.post-15134197987407732682012-12-02T22:29:59.729-06:002012-12-02T22:29:59.729-06:00Hi idrian! Thanks for the comment!
I must confes...Hi idrian! Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I must confess that it has quite a bit to do with BET (were you being sarcastic, by the by?). But then, I am rather heavily influenced by Aaron McGruder and <i>The Boondocks</i> as well as by, say, Bill Cosby. Mr McGruder is not the greatest fan of BET either...<br /><br />For me, the temptation to <i>schadenfreude</i> at the Republicans' expense is pretty great - it is as much an exercise to resist that temptation as to resist the anger I felt at Bush (and continue to feel at the continuation of his policies under Obama).<br /><br />All the best,<br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251777016037497783.post-43498015131608755392012-12-02T01:23:22.412-06:002012-12-02T01:23:22.412-06:00Hi Matt.
Thanks for your reply to my last message...Hi Matt.<br /><br />Thanks for your reply to my last message. It is good to hear from you about Mr. Dart.<br /><br />I have to say I'm kind of surprised at your reply concerning the Southern black communities. Could you clarify further about the "crassly-consumerist garbage" aspect of these communities and any further reservations? Surely this has nothing to do with BET?<br /><br />And as for the excerpt above, well they are indeed a pitiable lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
