Discussion of race and racism, as necessary as it is, is SO FRUSTRATING on this site because so many people have no idea how to examine the racism in their own lives. They have no idea what the difference is between active hateful racism and institutionalized racism.
They have no idea that the racism that they live with every single day has nothing to do...

WHY! DOES! THIS! KEEP! HAPPENING!!!!!????
It's a samurai movie IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, which just looks visually awesome. No distribution yet... I have one small problem with it though. After showing leagues upon leagues of Asian (ostensibly Japanese) characters fighting, or women dancing, or getting slaughtered, the big reveal on the "heroic samurai that will save us all (tm)" shows that he is...
A WHITE GUY.
WTF???...

Wow. Well, I posted, but now I want to go kill someone.

I already told Cairo how I feel about the whole thing. Bad timing all around.
As a kind of creative challenge i purged all of the anime/manga images and LOTS of dl'ed photos off my hard drive. Backed them up for if i want to use something for reference at a much later date (more likely the photos), but i'm trying to give myself a clean slate, and make art out of my own brain for a while.

This was a great post. Your example of people in the room (a bit of lifting from Plato?) was solid, the socialization drivers correct, and the call for the "most vitriolic, purposeful types of racism and racists need to be dragged out into the street, exposed, and banished from the discussion" verse the changes we need to make in ourselves spot-on.
GREAT JOB.
PS I avoid posting in threads were emotions are that heated. Call me Mr.

Contractions get stronger each time of course, so things are definitely progressing.
We could both use a nap, but it's probably not going to happen.

Congraaaats! How exciting!

Congrats.
Not a whole lot going on lately.
Moved out of the 'hood into a nice apartment, entered the first of what will undoubtedly be many art contests, took some photos.
Still working at a job i dislike, but the economy demands it.
Looking forward to the baby getting here in two months. Yup, everything is moving right along, and the baby is healthy as ever....

All good points.
My 6yr old is still in diapers (autistic), and had one the other day that had me gagging and laughing at the same time. Funny having a twisted sense of humor like that. lol

I feel like this site is becoming a waste. I have precious little connection to anyone here anymore. Even among my friends' list i think there are maybe seven people who i would talk to/ hang out with if given the chance, and out of those, only two who i actually DO talk to.

I do feel similarly-I rarely look at the sets anymore-so few catch my interest.
Nothing to see here, move along...
Because it has to be heard...
sinnah:
I think all artists are doomed to feel like that every once in a while. Each time I get rid of it, I'm sure it won't come back, but it does, stronger each time 
Yesterday, i almost died.
Maybe that's over-stating it a little bit. I choked on a jellybean (of all things) at work and actually got to the point where i couldn't dislodge it myself no matter how much chest pounding i did or how many attempts at coughing i made. I actually got to the point where i couldn't breathe, and no matter what i did...

otoki:
I've never been in that situation. I have had dreams where I choke and wake up unable to breathe, but that's a bit different because I know it's just my mind convincing my body that it's dying.
sarcasticmenace:
Near death experiences definitely give you food for thought. No pun intended. The not breathing thing is scary as fuck. For me, it was when my lungs had filled with smoke and then I realized I could not breathe anymore. Very scary stuff. I'm so happy you're OK... especially with you about to be a new daddy. Congratulations, by the way!!!!!
And it absolutely qualifies.
Please give mama a big kiss from me.
