With Williams, since I know where he came from, I feel like I get it when I see him dressed up now. He's making a statement that I can appreciate. And, there is a slight "fuck you" in that statement too that I definitely appreciate. But, when I see old money in jeans and a tee shirt, I feel insulted for some reason. I realize, of course, that this is not exactly rational.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10166090.post-72926361173565853802008-06-21T07:37:00.000-07:002008-06-21T07:37:00.000-07:00I've been chewing on this article since you posted...I've been chewing on this article since you posted it, and ... it troubles me. The best I can come up with is this: It seems like you're dancing around, but not quite saying, that it seems to be implied that white people can dress any damn way they please without signifying much, but non-whites have to make an effort to look like they've Got Something, whether they have or not.<BR/><BR/>And... on one hand, this is so cliché it doesn't even bear discussing. On the other hand, it is factual.<BR/><BR/>I guess my point is, I'd really rather have "black kids" (any kids, really) emulate the social ease of the mainstream, because that carries every-so-slightly less prejudice against it.<BR/><BR/>Does that sound oppressive? I dunno. I'm really struggling here to express what I'm trying to say. Probably it's a struggle to express because historically, my only personal hope of fitting in is proper uniforms.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling, aren't I?Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593117152792976823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10166090.post-81773779767581023142008-06-18T09:59:00.000-07:002008-06-18T09:59:00.000-07:00Oh, I miss you too.
