Blacksmythe: Blacksmythe | Thoughts about Palin in Plaid

  • Kismet · 1 year ago
    Love this scene. I usually applied it to low-income blackness and what that means and why it keeps getting tied to a certain kind of lived experience, namely that down for the people = down for the hood = down in the hood. Not in college. Not in Martha's Vineyard. Not owning property. Just getting by = cool. Having a stock portfolio = not cool. Etc. That isn't changing and its undertow is FIERCE and hard to shake off even when you are in college, at Martha's Vineyard, have a stock portfolio or own property.

    Applying it to Palin makes sense. Scary. But makes sense.
