...is called parody


This is off topic (whatever that may be at this point), but when you look at it, "parody" is a really weird looking word huh?
PARODY
parody
pa ro dy
Kinda like month. Or radar. Or ala. That's another word/phrase you use/employ wrong/non-right-like.

If ONE did make that argument they'd be a fool. If YOU made that argument it probably wouldn't make much sense. But, back to the aforementioned "ONE" trying to make this inane argument...if ONE made the argument, from a Post-cereal stand point, as you say, "...that the process of creating terms to explain modern phenomenon requires that new terms be made..." they'd be calling parody a strictly modern phenomena, right? And not only that, but they would also then be allowing that there are no existing words in the King's English to describe such a revolutionary modern phenomena. Right? And you, being the first 26 year old Black Bean pee eightch dee in tu familia, would most certainly have the cognizant capacity to understand that such a word does, in fact, exist, right??!! Of course you would!!

And what's the word?? Johannesburgh!!

No, actually the word is PARODY.

You know, this is getting quite interesting to me. At first I just thought you didn't quite grasp the concept of words actually having specific meanings, your 26 year old ph.d. notwithstanding. But now I'm thinking I might be wrong. Indulge me if you will...I'm being dead ass serious:
When you say "...which actually appens constantly in non-white supremacist fields of studies." <--- what are some examples?
When you say "non-white" do you mean "anti" or "other than" white?
What's a "post-colonial stand point"? How do you argue from it? Against it?

Whoa, dude. Dude...slow down. It's okay, dude. What crackers are you mad at specifically dude? Dude, which cracker took umbrage to you calling a certain cracker cracker? We'll get em astralblak, we'll make that cracker dude pay.

That "post-colonial" thing I can't speak on, I really don't know what you're talking about, but all that radical black shit is fucking boring dude. It holds no interest for me. Except I think Marcus Garvey is vastly interesting and I liked The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

"ideologically bad"...man when you turn a phrase you turn a fucking phrase! But as "ideologically bad" (© astralblak the racist) as "they" are, lets focus on one...lets talk AMISTAD...

>but as works of

I'm pretty sure there were edits in Amistad.

That happened too.

>and lacked any

But they already got white bread assed!! What more do you want from them?

>Why not do a maroon community
>slavery/post-slavery film;

Yeah, why not? And why not have it set at a slavery/post slavery summer camp? Then the good slavery/post slavery maroons have to go up against the snobby, rich-kid slavery/post slavery maroons from the other slavery/post slavery summer camp because they find out the bad guys have bought out the good guys' summer camp and plan on closing it. Then there's a big slavery/post slavery dance-competition where they raise enough money to save the camp!!! Just think about it, astralblak...we could have all the good shit like edits, developments in the plot, and TONS of creative angles!! Man, this baby writes itself!!

>why not show black on white

Uhhhhhh...the whole beginning...of Amistad...the slaves...kinda....nevermind.

Because it was about what actually happened on La Amistad. But we could totally take your idea, marry it to my slavery/post slavery summer camp idea, and see what kind of baby it makes.

Seriously? Seriously, Steven Spielberg is one of the best directors ever.

Okay, do so. And you can't just say they're "idealogically bad" because you already dropped that bomb on 'em.

If that's your way of saying "Seacrest Out!" then "Seacrest Out!" to you too.

Or is that supposed to be some sort of insult?
