Christian Invaders – the turnaround

So what do you think about the lecture? What did you walk away contemplating?
IF YOU DID NOT COME TO CLASS, DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO COMMENT ON THIS VIDEO BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THE LECTURE. ALSO, I WAS NOT SAYING THAT IT IS A “CHRISTIAN INVASION” BUT, RATHER, THAT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE IF MUSLIMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST PERCEIVE IT TO BE A CHRISTIAN INVASION. THAT’S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
The tyranny of radical Muslims…

Women
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010posted by Laurie Mulvey
So what is it to be a woman? If you take away body image, what is it about being female that ties together women of all shapes, sizes and cultures? And does Hollywood really portray all women? Women of all shapes and sizes and facial features?
What about the men?

…because, honestly, I have other things that I could be doing. Two things stand out. First, he wants “honesty.” Second, there are two questions: 1. Does anything change your opinion, 2. Has anything “made a difference to you.”

Isn’t a person’s qualifications an issue?

When you respond to this, also respond to the qualification issue with regards to “nepotism” and the affirmative action that comes from giving favors to family and friends.

These are great questions. Let me be clear about what I was trying to say so as to make sure that you respond to what is cool about the questions — because they’re great questions.
As to the LLBean photos, at issue is that if you’re in the Immersion Stage as a person of color, then those people of color in the LLBean catalog are “questionable” people of color. In other words, you’re going to feel some kind of way about the ways in which they’re blending into the “majority society” (i.e., white society). And you’re going to critique them by saying things like, “They’ve been whitewashed” or “They’re acting white,” etc. In essence, you’re going to laugh at THAT depiction of blackness or brownness. If you don’t think that when viewing these photos, then you’re likely not in the Immersion stage.
As to Jesse Jackson, returning to one’s roots is simply indicative of the “Pseudo Communitarian” stage. If you feel no special pull toward your own roots and instead choose to follow any path that is calling to you, then it’s an indication that perhaps you’ve moved on to the Humanitarian stage.
