bygINCpresents, OIL (Black and Liquid in Modernity) --Pt. 2 Solid modernity had some good that we now pine for. Family, community, order, everyone knowing their place. But there was bad back then too. And it was overt. Those in power knew they had it and there was nothing you could do about it. Then that structure began to melt. More rights for more people.This liquid world does not have the structure solid modernity once had. There's bad and good to that. Individual rights is the order of today. How far will those rights take the individual and the society? Tags: bygincpresents black and modernity chris rock chappelle boondocks liquid oil zygmunt bauman video blo |

bygINCpresents, OIL (Black and Liquid in Modernity) --Pt. 4 The search for the truth within is a human need. Black folk in America... Suffering folk the world over have lived that struggle. All through solid modernity, the fight was to manifest the hidden... the obvious truth and let it bare fruit. No matter what was said about them, how they were treated, the best folk searched for the truth. That search is part of the definition of what it means to be human and alive... What is means to be black... No matter your skin color. Tags: bygINCpresents black and liquid in modernity history month truth justice equality mos def mathematics civil right |
