Good folks shutting down I-278 this morning. I was honking like crazy, yelling “right on” with one hand on the wheel, and (after taking a cpl pics) one fist out the window – that is, until I realized I’d be fucked with traffic on my way back. Lol. But in all seriousness, respect to everyone putting themselves on the line. Respect to the people using their platform, no matter the size to say and/or do something. And RIP #EricGarner #MikeBrown and the countless others. What we’re experiencing is the last gasp of a dying breed and a dying system. Things are shifting, on various levels. And if you’re still alive and healthy in this day and time, you’re very lucky to be so. #givethanks by ahmad_julian http://ift.tt/1uhaHei

A Retrospective Of Rotimi Fani-Kayode’s “Black, African, Homosexual Photography” In London

“But the exploitative mythologising of Black virility on behalf of the homosexual bourgeoisie is ultimately no different from the vulgar objectification of Africa which we know at one extreme from the work of Leni Riefenstahl and, at the other from the ‘victim’ images which appear constantly in the media. It is now time for us to reappropriate such images and to transform them ritualistically into images of our own creation. For me, this involves an imaginative investigation of Blackness, maleness and sexuality, rather than more straightforward reportage.”
