Who is bell hooks

bell hooks | mpalacioart.com — “If I’m a woman and I’m sucking somebody’s dick in a car and they’re coming in my mouth and we could be in one of those milk commercials or whatever, is that liberatory?” hooks asked. “Or is it part of the tropes of the existing, imperialist, white supremacist, patriarchal capitalist structure of female sexuality?”

Bell Hooks, if you don’t know who she is you should. Her writings cover topics containing: art, sex, lots of pussy and booty, dicks, abuse, gender, race, patriarchy, capitalism, and all contemporary culture. Especially from the perspective of a black woman. I’m not going to say that, bell kooks channels the soul of the black woman. That would be limiting because Bell Hooks is in tune with humanity, and its exclusion of black woman. Bell Hooks asserts.

“The Black woman is both invisible and ubiquitous”

never seen in her how right but forever appropriated by others for their own ends”.

My video of bell hooks

My video “bell hooks, whose booty is this?” is taken out of context. It’s more a reflection of me than of bell hooks. But I hope my five-minute video will encourage you to find out more about bell hooks, you won’t be disappointed. You can find out more about bell hooks in an Open Dialog with New School Students – Whose Booty Is This? On YouTube with, Anna Czarnik-Neimeyer, Lynnee Denise, and Stephanie Troutman. Hosted by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts. It’s pretty cool.

Stephanie Troutman Assistant Professor of Leadership and Educational Studies and Women's Studies at Appalachian State University |mpalacioart.com — “Analingus … Anal sex taking place in straight communities… that, I think is new… and I do think there is a connection.”

Assistant Director of the Cassandra Voss Center |mpalacioart — “… my challenge to my students and then – my challenge in my own conversation as a white consumer is always to think, how we have a liberatory feminist sexual politics that is not at the expense of bodies of color?” Anna Czarnik-Neimeyer

Why is bell hooks relevant

bell hooks insights are relevant. When I read Dee Barnes article in Gawker about F. Gary Gray’s just-released film about N.W.A, “Straight Outta Compton”. “What’s Missing From Straight Outta Compton: “Me and the Other Women Dr. Dre Beat Up,” Dee Barnes’s painful admission. I found the similarities with Michele’s Wallace book “The Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman,” staggering. Talk about appropriating black women for their own needs. That includes many thing and many ways. One of which is young black men who are chasing capital at the expense of black woman’s body. In this video, bell hooks looks’ at the booty and decentering whiteness.

Decentering whiteness

Decentering whiteness is a strange paradox. But one that is very American. Both sides of the argument are of course correct. There is no right or wrong when it comes to your ideology. And if you give up your humanity for a racial qualification, you have to accept the pedagogy that comes with it. Nonetheless, whether you agree or not with each other, you agree that we are in groups based on assigned category we call a race. And if you deviate from the pedagogy of your group you are appropriating someone else stuff. In this case, white girls with booty are an anomaly like blond, black girls our blue eye black people. However in America, these norms make us feel good by staying within our group, so we cling to those norms.

bell hooks booty appropriation

bell hooks video traces the beginnings of the booty’s appropriation. The Booty is being reinvented as a standard of beauty for white girls. With the marketing help of “white supremacist capitalist patriarchal” system. “BELL HOOKS: I began to use the phrase in my work “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” because I wanted to have some language that would actually remind us continually of the interlocking systems of domination that define our reality and not to just have one thing be like, you know, gender is the important issue, race is the important issue, but for me the use of that particular jargonistic phrase was a way, a sort of short-cut-way of saying all of these things actually are functioning simultaneously at all times in our lives and that if I really want to understand what’s happening to me, right now at this moment in my life, as a black female of a certain age group, I won’t be able to understand it if I’m only looking through the lens of race. I won’t be able to understand it if I’m only looking through the lens of gender. I won’t be able to understand it if I’m only looking at how white people see me.”

“White supremacist capitalist patriarchy” is traveling on the same road with similar outcomes as F. Gary Gray’s film about N.W.A, “Straight Outta Compton” with a similar result. Accordingly and inevitable, “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” is not about white people, but as bell hooks assert, it’s a political system that swallows up all. Even the white folks are being pulled into this “black hole,” coincidentally, is not about black people.

America’s capitalist consumption as comes to appreciate the black body commercial use

Trapped in the middle is the body of the black woman forever being appropriated. You can argue that other bodies are being appropriated. But that’s not what this video is about. Then “White supremacist capitalist patriarchy” becomes a human condition, making you responsible for your actions. But back to the story. America’s capitalist consumption as comes to appreciate the black body commercial use. They now find the booty beautiful. But like rock music, it’s impossible to sell to the majority unless it looks white. They are of course the exceptions, thank you Jimi. Historically to make this work, the cultural analyzes have to changes. So you will see more Beatles or more N.W.A.‘s to promote what you want to sell. The new body image is being credited to white girls; kind of the same way Boy George is credit for the influence of dreadlocks or Madonna for Vogue, the dance form.

the long blond weave

Unknowingly the black woman finds herself acting sexually out of her own interests. For now her sexuality, the big booty is replaced by a new standard of beauty the long blond weave. Forever personified by super talented RuPaul, the beautiful Lavern Cox, megastar Beyonce, and the talented Nicki Minaj.

bell hooks, whose booty is this? Beyonce |mpalacioart.com — Megastar Beyonce could not have the success with “Natural Black Hair.”

bell hooks, whose booty is this? laverne cox |mpalacioart.com — Beautiful Laverne cox would not be considered beautiful with Natural Black hair.

bell hooks, whose booty is this? RuPaul |mpalacioart.com — Super talent RuPaul was the first to rock the long blond look.

Is not that the blond bombshells are not beautiful. They are. But they are not the only standard of beauty or talent. But our children will never know that. Because of “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” system is in place, this is not a crack at white folks, like how Ms. Taylor Swift misunderstood Ms. Minaj on Twitter. Ms. Minaj asserts: “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13One.” But I for one I’m impressed by Minaj asset of the stage. Her courage, to take on anyone at any time and stand up for herself”: “And now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what’s good?”

polite racism

Under this polite racism or self-categorizing, there is no need for hard racism. Racists don’t need help. Thanks to “White supremacist capitalist patriarchy”. Even if black folks choose, freely to step into any gallery or watch TV or read any history book, beauty is defined, and it doesn’t look like me,”black bitch”. Bell Hooks could be right. Maybe I should define my own beauty, change centuries a perspective that claims otherwise. Whom I’m I kidding I have a better chance convincing people that there is no God in the heaven.
