That's an interesting issue you bring up, friend-- about Black culture rejecting "white people's" music-- but then when cultures overlap (who knew there were Black lesbians out there! (oh my))there's a more complex situation at hand. I've always rejected the "hate so and so" music because for me it's about feeling good. If a song feels good, I don't care who wrote it, as long as they aren't a biggot in some way.<BR/><BR/>On another note, something that comes up in my program alot is questioning whether or not we value artists because they are good artists or because they are good people (and good artists). So if someone turns out to be an a-hole, does that mean we reject their music/art? A buddy of mine said she would much rather live in a world of good people than good artists, and I'm pretty much with her all the way on that one...but it's still something to think about.Contrived by Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919435234346408640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29448815.post-69093838066748196382007-10-02T17:30:00.000-04:002007-10-02T17:30:00.000-04:00ok..so I need to meet EVERYONE you are interviewin...ok..so I need to meet EVERYONE you are interviewing for your thesis too... ;)<BR/><BR/>glad you like my tangents!@laura_lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228285278981248235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29448815.post-73094896157972703462007-10-02T01:32:00.000-04:002007-10-02T01:32:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness I'm writing my thesis on Butch Lesb...Oh my goodness I'm writing my thesis on Butch Lesbian Identity, well actually Black Butch Lesbian identity and how it is related to Black Queer spaces. <BR/><BR/>oh and I love you tangents!!!Journey_Wmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529111696077054456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29448815.post-4977155083875346212007-09-28T14:54:00.000-04:002007-09-28T14:54:00.000-04:00OMG I totally remember first coming out and being ...OMG I totally remember first coming out and being all about the rainbows and everything gay. 'Post gay' well that depends. I feel like i'm gay, so yes, I hang out with mostly queer people and do queer things, I go to queer clubs and Queer conferences and performances, but I do think it's kind of 'post gay' b/c I feel like I'm not just all about the club scene, it's like I want to make a difference, so I choose to spend my money and time at things/places that expand my mind and help me meet 'quality' (whatever that means to anyone, to me, it means queer women who are openminded and not just superficial, who want to make a change) women...there is nothing for me like an intellectual woman...man it turns me on soo much. My friend is doing her doctoral dissertation on Butch women/identity and I was like 'ok, I need to speak with EVERYONE that you interview..thx' <BR/>ok...I've gone off on a tangent...so please forgive me...<BR/>many blessings to you... <BR/>LL@laura_lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228285278981248235noreply@blogger.com
