ON SAFIYA SINCLAIR, author of HOW TO SAY BABYLON A MEMOIR By William Thorpe

There is nothing unique about a hot in the ass 19 year old teenage girl rebelling against her Dad, The family and in extension the entire society, culture and political-economy that constructed and determined the existence of the Father-object of the teenage rebellion. Our human condition is replete with it. First of all this isn't umbrage, I make no bones about Sistah Safiya Sinclair, I applaud her Professorship and scholarly realization. Nonetheless there is a contradiction in the presented critique of her rebellion against her upbringing and development, which despite its negative basis has matured into an exploited qualitative valuation, as she has monetized as all things of our human condition is to be expected and its to that contradiction, which isn't specific to Sistah Safiya to which she can lay no claim, but is experientially general, to Blackness and its to that I speak, under the exegesis, as formulated by our revolutionary French Brethren, 'that even the Sun had to justify it's existence at the court of Dialectics' and to put it bluntly as social beings no critique is unique and exceptional which synthesis and resolution as purpose of the expression reveals and exposes a continuum that can either fork antagonistically or contradictorily and we find both in Sistah Safiya's work. Sistah Safiya was born into a Jamaican Rastafarian household and she rebelled. Then she gave us its account in, HOW TO SAY BABYLON,A MEMOIR. My reaction to her work is, her expressed and articulated reasons, which she concisely gave us in her FRESH AIR interview begs this: Those contradictions that necessitated her rebellion against her Dad, exist here in these United States as full blown antagonisms, in society and the political-economy as human redemption and realization bane. So my ask of Sistah Safiya Sinclair is, simply this, will she direct her perception, ability and will at critiquing these American antagonisms just as she critiqued her Dads contradictions on Fresh Air? As I've stated, this isn't ad hominem, but we have to mature into the acceptance that, for example, the legitimate passion of "The Color Purple", critique, which Sistah Safiya's work is subject, is a utilitarian declaration that the ills of Patriarchy, the antagonisms of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, isn't just relegated and limited to a scape-goated, corrupted Black masculinity, but is firstly human and secondly an aggravated dehumanizing consequence of those barbaric conditions that gives rise to Sistah Safiya's Dads' Rastafarianism as existential resistance. Solzhenitsyn gave us his "Gulag Archipelago", as if injustice and suppression were only endemic to the Soviet Union, then as he lived and existed in good ole Vermont he got reacquainted to disillusionment and the reminder that the narrative he gave us in " Gulag..."knew no borders and was also American. Or what about the pitiful Ayn Rand and her hypocrisy even as she pathetically tried to replicate the authoritarianism she, critiqued in her relations with her dumbstruck acoloytes. I cite these two Europeans to make the point that the grass is greener on the other side idealistic critique of our human behavior isn't limited to the inferiority complex of the marginalized. Because as citizens of The Soviet Union, Solzhenitsyn and Rand were in a more political-economic privileged position than Sistah Safiya and her Rastafarian family were in Jamaica still they found cause to call on The United States to bear witness, just as in 1776 the Great schizophrenic in Chief, Thomas Jefferson called on a "candid world" to bear witness to his woes even as he yoked woes on enslaved Black People.

Comments On The Book "Black Wave" By An Authors Whose Name Is Irrelevant

The problem with writers of books as "The BlackWave" critical of Iran and it's Islamic Revolution is, it does it from the narrative of the loser, the opposition to the revolution and its narrative.

What the "Black Wave's" author, whose name is irrelevant, glosses over is, the Iranian Revolution as all revolutions including the American, which should correctly be described as a National War of the Independence, didn't occur in a vacuum. The World Pre-Iranian Revolution wasn't all peaches and cream and all of a sudden Shia Ayatollahs and Mullahs ruined it.

There has been one historical line of attack and criticism of the Iranian Revolution, but with two diverging points:

• It is Islamic and its diverging points are: 

1. It is a Terrorist state
2. It is a Totalitarian and a theologic dictatorship

But the true nature of the Iranian critique, the only nature of the critique is Iran and its militancy dare challenge the Zionist narrative of Israel and its logic of seizing Palestinian Patrimony and to the ends of this conflict, all sorts and levels of propaganda are wielded and brought to bear against the perogatives and speech of the Iranian Revolution, of which the "Black Wave" is another labor.

Notwithstanding the presumptions of the Zionist and Iranian positions, whatever contradictions that are inherent within Iranian Theocracy can only be resolved from the perspective of the social fact of Iranian speech and not whatever antagonisms it has with the suppositions of the "Black Wave" and it's author whose name is irrelevant, and its narrative masters.

Look, critics of the Mullahs, if such critics are Muslims should war within Islam for its reform and Islam is no stranger to reform, and not simply present and represent a Eurocentric supremacy critique of Iran. Let's not forget that there is nothing unique and exclusive to the critique leveled against Iran by Eurocentric supremacy and its Zionist ward. Europe and America are not heaven. The only difference between eurocentric supremacy and Iranian militancy is we know all about the former and less about the later.

To claim as the author of the "BlackWave" whose name is irrelevant does and I paraphrase, that the emergence of Shia Iran has caused panic in the surrounding Sunni states is petty intellectual-liberalism giving us not one illuminating ray of insight and with these comments, I remind the author whose name is irrelevant, that her "BlackWave" work mocks the purported ends, her Pakistani protagonist beseeched, that of choice and it is in pursuit of choice those vanguards and supporters of the Iranian Revolution aspired.

The Prisoners Wife By Asha Bandele: A Review

The book is supposedly A Love Story. But I don't know what to make of it---It's too full of recriminations, regrets, resentments, and condescension to be a result of love, as love is understood by the human condition.

The setting for this "Love" is Prison, not any prison for that matter but the insidious and
Machiavellian enterprise of an American prison, The Department of Corrections of The State of New York. The story is a reflection of the tumultuous state of American cultural expression and it's subjective, American Hearts and Minds, because if the cultural and emotional expression of the human is simply a sum of character, then love as the ultimate value of emotion and its medium culture will reflect the state and nature of its subjective. Emotion in the most sublime of conditions and environment is still a strange and mysterious beast, add the ingredient of the most alienative and perverted environmental condition known to humanity, prison and what will you have? What you should have is the sum value of human character, that baptism by fire through adversity, that qualitative redemption from the disjointedness of chaotic quantity but Ms. Bandele fails to even have an inkling of the maxim "I'm Solitude made Man" ---- Solitude which in this context is anguish, that accomplice of love, love which she claims.

The author's emotional consciousness is either objectively malnourished or her alienation from the objectivity of her femininity is so complete that she is confused, She mistakes the adventurous inclination of her Eros with that most consuming of emotions, "Love". Whether or not she wants to face up to and has the presence of mind to acknowledge it, she simply had a stimulating adventure with a prisoner, a test in that most simplistic and primitive of human urges, self-gratification in its motive of one-upmanship. As she tongue in cheek, succinctly puts it "I wanted to be important to someone again" [ pp.27]

For starters, Rashid her beloved, lover and subsequent husband is too one-dimensional and acquiescent, an emasculated corollary of collateral damage from the war between the sexes submitting disgracefully to his wife Asha's each and every undisciplined desire an infantile idealism for whatever it is and was, that was between them to be of that higher human emotion, Love, The only excusable rationalization for his behavior is the stimulus of the relationship in-it self and its satisfying impact on his "...Scorched-Earth" [pp.165] psyche was enough to overlook the dominance of his wife and that spells eunuchism.

Asha, on the other hand, would have us, readers believe that her most yearned for desire and sought for reality is to have her imprisoned mate free and with her, yet when she is impregnated, granted the germinating testimonial seed of their love, she has no problem aborting the fetus.

What is striking and revealing is at every turn of the way, their way and obstacles crop up, which in the general sense, with its solution or how they contend with it would enable their humaneness to define and give credibility to the love they purportedly share both fail its qualification pathetically. Rashid the prisoner and husband for being effeminate and obeisant to his wife's each and every indulgence and Asha the wife for misplacing her need for self-affirmation and its redemptive catharsis with love.

The author presents an unstated and treacherous premise that the pursuit of emotional, mental and physical communion between the imprisoned human and a free one is utterly unrealistic, futile and its fidelity is unattainable--- this premise itself raises the question of what role if any those higher sentient and sapient potentials of humanness plays in the condition of love, not as we misconstrue it to be but as we aspire it to be. If as we are wont to say that love has many facets and conditions then Rashid and Asha's rank at that, no greater than the sum of their undeveloped psyches. What then is Ms. Bandele telling us, "that the spirit is willing but the body is weak"? Or the whole relationship was nothing more than an academic project that is now bearing fruit with her writing a book about it.

To make a long story short "The Prisoners Wife" is a story of relationship between male and female and their dishonesty and inability in coBming to terms with the fact that they lacked the manhood and womanhood to develop, nurture and sustain love in that most stifling of environments------Prison.

I close with Asha Bandele invoked Assata Shakur's
"...If I know anything at all
it's that a wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.

It can be brought down."

And for 219 pages made a mockery of it with erecting that most noxious of walls       
"condescension".

"What Do Women Want," Dialectical-Materialism, The Daughter-Relationship and Value Speculation

Idealism poses the question: "What Do Women Want" and responds with it's typical one dimensional impetuous hubris, "Let the Woman decide".

Materialism on the other hand, specifically dialectical-materialism ignores the question and instead observes the subjectivity of it's organic fact, that the response is at the expense of the fact, the quality of the daughter-relationship determines what daughter as Woman will want.

The daughter-relationship more than any other social relationship has within it's circumscription the tensions of immature contradictions and the mature antagonisms of human Political--Economy as organic base. Irrespective of class and nationality.

Recently, the daughter-relationship dialectic has again been examined in a new book "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook and as expected of a nation flailing under the fog of idealism and the Intellectual-Liberalism of it's conservative ideation, it was welcomed apoplectically.

Dialectical-Materialism reminds us that the vacuous nature of idealism and the Intellectual-Liberalism of it's Conservative ideation would have us observe social relationships and human Political-Economy as existing in a vacuum or biologic inconsistencies and suppositions of cultural biases.  We at Apropos in defense of dialectical-materialism reject that.

We at Apropos state it bluntly: The Daughter-Relationship dialectic and it's "What do Women Want" question is fundamentally that of value and it's speculation.

Dinesh D'Souza, Barack Obama, Kenyan Anti-Colonialism, The Black American Experience and the Cold War of American Racism

The recent critical comments and writings by the author Dinesh D'Souza, that Barack Obama's world view is some sort of hodgepodgish and we paraphrase Kenyan African Anti-Colonialism critique, is classic typical Intellectual-Liberalism usually wielded by Conservatism and it's reaction.  Which is normally the haven for backwards thought and it's exceptionalism delusions.

Specifically Dinesh D'Souza's anti-Barack Obama polemic is also an attack on Black America, it's American Experience and the reckless salvo in The Cold War of American Racism.

The question is : What is the value to Black America of criticisms made by Dinesh D'Souza an outsider, an alien of East Indian nationality. A member of a culture, that, as it's contribution to the Human Condition insulted our sensibilities with the depravity, the misanthropic hereditary caste system practiced by it's schizophrenic status quo.

The Black American Experience and it's Cold War of American Racism front is organic and original enough to polemicize it's struggle without any transference of the Continental African ant-Colonial polemic as a diasporic moral, authority against American historic-slavery, it's contemporary Political-Economy contradictions and antagonisms.

Lest we are misunderstood Barack Obama, as a Black American does not need African anti-Colonial polemics to critique and define American Political Economy.  The narrative of any sane and serious minded member of the Black American Experience suffices.

Kathleen Koch Author of Rising from Katrina, The State of Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina, Human Spirit, Great Tragedy and Berkeleian Subjectivity

Kathleen Koch a former CNN reporter, author of Rising From Katrina, a perspective on Hurricane Katrina from the point of view of the State of Mississippi.  Presents the question: What is it about the human spirit that allows, enables and permits people, the human spirit to push on, to be optimistic in the face of great tragedy vis a vis Hurricane Katrina.

We find Kathleen Koch's premise, presumptuous, uneducated and quite frankly condescendingly paternalistic.  Kathleen Koch speaks about the triumph of the human spirit over great tragedy as if Hurricane Katrina and it's ravage of the State of Mississippi epiphanically and suddenly opened her eyes to it's profane mundanity.  We say profane mundanity, because triumph over tragedies whether great or small is what the human spirit dynamically and dialectically does on a daily basis in it's great struggle against ignorance, presumption and condescension, in the fight against Man's injustice to fellow Man.

It is ironic that Kathleen Koch uses the State of Mississippi and it's Hurricane Katrina experience as reference.  Which also is the medium by which she exposes her ridiculously stupendous ignorance at the expense of the great historical tapestry of human suffering and human triumph, a wealth of indescribable adversity and tragedy, that has always been there for her ignorance, it's alienation and privilege to redeem itself with.

The State of Mississippi and it's ability to dish out historical cruelty and injustice is relatively in a class by itself and as Hurricane Katrina relates to Mississippi the point can be made that it was karma---yet it's victimized Black people, their enslavement, the obscenity of Jim Crow to the contemporary fact of substandard quality of life as legacy have by mere fact of survival and existence proved the human spirit's ability to be optimistic in light of great tragedy and adversity.

Kathleen Koch didn't need Hurricane Katrina and it's impact on the elite, privileged and status quo of Mississippi to remind her and reacquaint herself with the human spirit and it's ability to triumph in the face of great tragedy and adversity.  She should have just opened her eyes and looked around pre-hurricane Katrina Mississippi and Kathleen Koch would have witnessed and experienced the triumph of the human spirit in great and small moments of tragedy.

The Book Rising from Katrina is just another example of Berkeleian subjectivity run presumptuously amuck.

Oman O' Man The Musical, The Naivete of Debbie Allen and U.S. and Arab-Islamic Relations

The renowned choreographer Debbie Allen with the production of Oman O' Man, a musical intended to bridge U.S. and Arab-Islamic relations.  Has brought into the false premise of U.S. and Arab-Islamic relations.  Because the dynamic behind the relations is not ignorance of the Arab-Islamic world by the American people, which specifically means the U.S. government.

Jay-Z, "We Are the World-Haiti" and the Sore Loser Syndrome

Jay-Z isn't consistent.  His criticism of "We Are the World-Haiti" smells of the sore loser syndrome.
It's one thing to have a personal view and it's another to voice it, particularly when it is hypocritical.

Jay-Z has recently arrogantly criticized and expressed his feelings that "We Are the World-Haiti" a dirge paying homage to everything that is wrong with the Human Condition shouldn't have been remade as a dirge for the Haitian earthquake catastrophe.  In his view, the original "We Are the World" is sacrosanct.  The problem with his thinking is this: He is inconsistent and a sore loser.  Jay-Z remakes other artist works i.e. Tupac Shakur.  So he cannot be against practice of artist remaking another's works.

His criticism as needless as it, is has to be the eccentricity of the sore loser syndrome because he wasn't a participant in the remaking of "We Are the World=Haiti".

"The Views" "Sherri Shepherd, Historical Knowledge and Hollywood Staples

It's time "The Views" Sherri Shepherd is taken to task.  Sherri Shepherd needs to find her intellectual comfort zone and stick to it. Because her placement in the public discourse relevancy chain exposes her to the critical measure of historical knowledge.

Newsweek The Magazine, Mark Sanford, The Governor of South Carolina on Ayn Rand and Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism

Is this tongue in cheek and somewhere in the drapered offices of Newsweek The Magazine, cynical laughter rings? Because having Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina, a Republican, Adulterous-Hypocrite use infantile idealism and it's schizoid hypocrisy of an Ayn Rand and her irrelevant mediocrity as juxtaposed commentary on his real life moral turpitude and malfeasance has to be a tedious joke that teeters on a sort of Intellectual-Liberalism that hints at sophomoric impetuosity. One of those calculations that utterly fails at delivering whatever redemption it's impetus might have hinted at.

Mark Sanford the pathetic wrench and Governor of South Carolina has made this pitiful attempt at classic allegory with his "Atlas Hugged" essay in the 11/2/09; Newsweek Magazine. A Play on the title of that other pitiful classic allegory "Atlas Shrugged" by the ridiculous Ayn Rand (an author who laughably introduced the notion of captains of industry doing on strike! To the human socialization thesis, as if the Capitalist antagonism and it's exploitive medium has any grasp of equity).

Under the guise of advancing analysis of Governmental spending under the anti-deficit opportunistic critique. Mark Sanford labors ridiculously to solicit the sympathetic ear of his Republican-Conservative contemporaries who naively also share his orgasmic awakening to the romantic Fancy's of Ayn Rand and her pent up resentment at Soviet-Marxist practice. As he faces and contends with the consequences of his adulterous idiocy with his Argentinian Lolita. An exhibition of such stupendous error in judgement which his impotent critique of Ayn Rand's world view as lacking in "grace, love, faith and any form of social compact does nothing to mitigate and is only a transparent and feeble plea for understanding.

Mark Sanford's essay does affirm one supposition which is Republican-Conservatism thought and it's practice is a psychosis and insane calculus which the simple "man isn't perfect" mantra littered through out the essay is as demented as Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina flying off to Argentina, thousands of miles away from sworn, duty, honor, loyalty responsibilities to the people of South Carolina and the Fidelity Vow he gave his Wife when they married.

In response to Mark Sanford, Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism: Government cannot be at odds with the people isn't it, "By the People"? And empirically Mans Liberty is always relative.

Michael Jackson, "This Is It", The New York Republican Rep. Pete King and Transnational Conglomerates

Michael Jackson "This Is It", a docureality, behind the scenes homage to what it means to capitalize and exploit opportunity has on 10/27/09; debut to rave and rare reviews from friends and foes alike.

Even that New York Republican Rep. Pete King who pompously and in true Republican fashion, found criticism, where none was relevant, over television coverage of Michael Jackson's death, may have hummed a tune or two of Michael Jackson's "they don't really care about us"---which is what Republicans are good at and quintessentially do, not caring about people.

Nonetheless the sensory experience of Michael Jackson in rehearsal in "This Is it', has transcended Republican hypocrisy and is the first wave of what is a deluge of exploitation from the crass and crude schemes of his father Joe Jackson to the veneered gambits of transnational conglomerates. Michael Jackson and his eternal artistry is a generating means of capital par excellence which even Republican misanthropy genuflects to.

Tyler Perry, The Black American Experience and the Spike Lee Contradiction

I Haven't been a critic of Tyler Perry's works which because of it's one-dimensional ethos seems simplistic and unclutteredly moralistic. Yet to deny, denounce and reproach Tyler Perry and his works is to deny denounce and reproach that basis, facet and organic-condition of the Black American Experience that has produced it.

There is this tension within Black American Intelligentsia. Which in it's simplistic form can be narrowed to perception and utility.

• Perception--Specifically, the euro-centric critique of the Black Communities generalities, the prejudices of the greater society.
• Utility--The continuing Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois debate.

When Spike Lee, the Movie Director, criticizes Tyler Perry for buffoonery and minstrel revision, one has to wonder what exactly is Spike Lee's point or angst at. The themes and characters of Tyler Perry's works exist, they are real ---Is Spike Lee wishing that side of the Back American Experience be kept hidden because it causes the Spike Lee bias and faction of the Black American Experience squeamish embarrassment because that sort of caricaturization is susceptible to euro-centric denigration and it lacks the stereo-typical nihilism of Spike Lee's own works and ethos.
Tyler Perry's works are not Amos and Andy minstrels or "Gone With The Wind" affections and it's myriad examples that litter the American cultural land-scape from Michael Jackson to Oprah Winfrey. So what exactly is Spike Lee's criticism based on?
Simply creating or depicting a character as Spike Lee does who knows how to flip "The Man" off does nothing to address the schizophrenic nature and alienative imperative of the Black American Experienced realities. As a matter of fact it is mere therapeutic indulgences. it instead affirms the basic contradictions and antagonisms of American society which Spike Lee and the strident impotence of his works purports to outline in graphic detail. Nonetheless save for the entertaining value does nothing to resolve.

"Poor Africa" Dambisa Moyo and Her Goldman Sachs and Harvard-Oxford Theology: A Review of the book Dead Aid

So the Phrase "Poor Africa" galls Dambisa Moyo. She who for a decade sashayed around the corridors of Goldman Sachs, a place of speculation and the point can be accurately made has played and plays a serious role in the construction of the objective condition "Poor Africa".

Dambisa Moyo, she who is Harvard and Oxford educated, endowment benefactors of ill-gotten gains. When the "White mans Burden" and it's tangential genociction of African Political-Economy established the "Poor Africa" dealectic.

Dambisa Moyo, this living contradiction author of Dead Aid a thesisitc criticism of a certain type of aid to Africa which she opportunistically scapegoat. If the issue is aid and it's dynamic: I respond with didn't the Marshall Plan Aid to Europe enable it's Phoenix like rebirth from it's Third Reich rubble?

The problem with the Dambisa Moyo's of history in their subservient roles is simple. Envy and self-loathe manipulates their critique. Africa's problems are not a result of Bono, Live Aid or even the idealism of Jefferey Sach and all the other Aid's even the AIDS Plague. Africa's problems are strictly that of regaining it's historic dialectic which has been impaired by Arab and European Imperialism, Slavery and the Colonial dialectic.

Frantz Fanon in Wretched of the Earth presciently tackled the question of an African middle-class without a Political-Economic basis.

Instead of 188 pages worth of Goldman Sachs and Harvard-Oxford theology in her Dead Aid book, Dambisa Moyo should have tackled the matrix of Post-Colonial Africa and it's Neo-Colonial narrative.

As A last word, microfinancing as Political-Economy means and the corruption critique typically raised by African Polemicist which Dambisa Moyo regurgitates has nothing to do with why with the exception of Boer organized Azania, the rest of the African Continent suffers the yoke of "sphere of influence" and Dambisa Moyo's book Dead Aid flatlines.
