Renee–You are right on point. As someone that works to bring an intersectional analysis to his writing, I’m glad that you’re reading here and keeping me on my toes.

I learn so much from comments. I hope you will continue.

And don’t be surprised if your comment finds itself on the front page of the blog tomorrow. Smartness needs to be amplified, and I’m not one to let smartness hide in a comment thread. I’m just saying…

When I wrote about this incident I made a point of discussing racism as well but I do feel that there is something that is missing from your critique and the one offered by the NAACP.
This was an attack on black women. It was also an attack on trans women. The mayor makes reference to smelly vaginas by the name that he chose. There is also in the way that he performed a mockery to the trans experience. He is applying that they are men in dresses and not women…merely cartoon figures.
It seems to me that when the black community confronts racism it is always so one dimensional. We often miss intersections of class, sexuality or cisexual status. Intersectionality needs to become a priority because there is no one way to be black.

[...] Hey, Mainstream! Welcome to the party. Maybe now we can put to rest the idea that only KKK members are racists? [...]

I don’t know what a baby making theme would be without Barry White. My momma use to say that Barry was one sexy man. I didn’t see then, but I can hear it now…

LMAO @ Regina… but she’s right. He could just say “Hey baby” and it’s all over.

Of course I’d have to ah… put a bag over his head. But you know what I’m sayin’.

Happy OSF

Spiegel Online recently ran an article about German Dollmaker, Marcel Offermann, and his newest creating - a blackface Barack Obama doll. This stereotypical depiction yet again illustrates the way in which mainstream German society continues to marginalize and other People of Color, both at home in Germany and abroad.
