>this sounds like some pseudo-reverse psychology. that is what solidarity is about, right, stickin together no matter what? >my argument: >- Black people , specifically, must consciously resist >notions of romantic love because its western. and western >ideology has raked us over the coal. i am willing and have thrown out the bible and quran etc, and i don't eat pork (both my parents doing), but damn that's just askin a lot; no romance, no slow dance, no long kiss goodnight, no two three hour phone call about nothing. >- if you're Black and your relationship is based on romance, >in whole or in large part, then you have fucked up politics.
really fucked up politics so you are saying that romance and politics are diametrically opposed and can not coexist? can romance be the start of a relationship?
>- fucked up politics stands in opposition to Black >solidarity.
so what do you think should be the basis for revolutionary love besides a shared ideological belief or do you think revolution and love are diametrically opposed also?
Really you don't believe in romantic love? you don't tell this to women do you?
hello my name is _______. i am an aquarius. i believe in the revolution, but i do not believe in romance. so if you would like to be down with the struggle and you love a good protest. i'm your man float float on.
okay i can see the whole romantic ideal as western and even possibly bad. but i like to think that one can balance that with the hard work that goes into a good relationship. my parents were black nationalists to the bone. but they were romantic. sure it can't all be about the romance. and that probably is part of the problem that exists in modern marriages, not just black. after the romance there does have to be something else there . i can't speak about other people's relationships but i know as far as mine goes i think we have to think a little more about the struggle that our relationship does and will cause. and those conversations are not romantic at all.
i think i got it you see romantic love like karl marx sees religion another opiate of the masses right? we all concerned about who's loving who and our romance that we are not thinking about the important things right? the revolution, family( wait without a little romance there ain't no family. and how do you supposed we get little revolutionaries) etc.
i am really trying to see exactly what and why you are making these arguments.
*this sounds kinda like china when the gov could tell you "you need to do revolutionary work in such and such province and your wife will either stay at home or go to a completely different province to do such and such revolutionary work. and you wouldn't see each other for like years.
