CWL: fromonesurvivortoanother: i don’t like the whole “you can’t love...

fromonesurvivortoanother:

i don’t like the whole “you can’t love someone until you learn to love yourself” idea because uhhh

wow people who are hurt and abused and damaged deserve love just as much as anyone else

love generally does not work when it’s one-sided. love is the interaction…

This picture is more than it seems; even more than a sideways staircase. It represents the moment when I realized I was capable of more than I had thought and that I truly loved photography. Ive been out of the game for a while now but hopefully I get this new job and will be able to travel all around and remember why I started taking pictures in the first place. And to all my friends and fellow artists that support me, thank you so much. You guys rule.

Kanye West is white America’s worst nightmare. Because as much as one may attempt to dismiss him — by calling him an asshole or classless or deranged or various other adjectives that fill the comment sections of literally every article about him — you still have to turn on your regularly scheduled late night comedy program and stare him in the face. You can’t avoid Kanye. He’s made very sure of that.

[…]

Kanye is not a “new slave” in the same sense as the victims of the prison industrial complex, but he is still trapped in a world that expects him to not only be complicit with the struggle of his people, but to be appreciative that he is not one of them. And on top of all that, while he gets to exist in the world of the 1%, having the money and signifiers of success still aren’t enough to make his (white) 1% peers actually even respect him.

[…]

The ideals of Public Enemy are as relevant today as they were in the 80s, but hip-hop was nowhere near as dominant and omnipresent a cultural force as it is at this moment; to compare the reach of their messages is silly. Upper-middle class white families did not have to deal with Public Enemy if they didn’t want to. Similarly with politically-minded “noise rap” artists that have been name-dropped in reviews of Kanye’s new material — it’s all well and good for Death Grips and Blackie and even Killer Mike to espouse similar messages and sounds (and honestly, the sonic qualities of “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” are hardly at the top of the list of why they’re important), but none of them have anywhere near the amount of visibility and influence as Kanye, even if they did hit it first.

[…]

People in current positions of comfort and stability are so willing to dismiss the transgressive thoughts of an angry black man that they will use any convenient excuse to diminish from them; if someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, why not immediately change the subject to his girlfriend’s ass or that time he yelled at a papparazzi or that time he got drunk and embarrassed a white girl? When was it exactly that Kanye shifted, in the eyes of the mainstream, from lovable polo-wearing backpacker to perpetually and unanimously An Asshole? When, precisely, did everything he said get immediately categorized as a “rant” or “controversial” regardless of the actual content? I want to say it was around the time when he said that George Bush didn’t care about black people on live tv. Hmm. Odd.

Hand crooks in temple persuasion
Yeah sacrifice the straight line for a throw
Be like a crow for me
Be a splinter shadowing a proper frame
My thumbnail is a voyage
My birds my lines my calls
Down is the sanity
Reached it and found a world of metaphor
Surf craze and feathers
Blackbird wrong bird
Wrong life wrong style
Each line a feeling
Each an experience
Searcher verse
I get it when I don’t
I kill it when I do
I think of San Francisco often
I never think of you
