We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope. 

You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

[funkylilpunk]

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

honestly the way keith haring’s art is used like nowadays pisses me off because it follows that exact same pattern of like,, history books declawing (so to speak) prominent activists.  like it reminds me of the way mlk is remembered for like one thing and they try and erase the parts they didn’t like about him back then, it’s the same deal with keith haring but on a smaller scale i suppose.  like i still see people that clearly want nothing to do with the queer community walking around in keith haring hoodies.  his entire THING as an aids activist is just completely erased.  andy warhol too actually, the way people focus on oh idk the soup cans and not the statements he was making.  the way camp was reduced to cishet white celebrities in loud outfits and no real respect for the actual history.  not even to MENTION the erasure of people’s sexualities like glam musicians like bowie and lou reed and all that bi erasure.  moving later look at how you have movements in music like riot grrl but nirvana gets famous and suddenly kurt cobain is a cult figure and people forget about the bands associated with them like bikini kill.  and so on and so forth like can we PLEASE stop acting like some of these things are just coincidentally happening at the same time.  so many of these things are incredibly interconnected but the way the history is discussed it’s like they’re intentionally trying to keep every little detail out of context so people don’t think about the larger movements and intersectionality and such.
