Just as the book elides any significance of Katniss's status as a PoC and the racial dynamics/oppression in the society overall, Katniss is whitewashed in the movie's casting (even as charismatic and compelling as J. Lawrence might be). Lots can and should be said; <a href="http://xalexiel.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-katniss-everdeen-is-woman-of-color.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>'s one piece I saved. In the face of what uproar Rue's race precipitated, the evergreen colorblindness of the novel is inevitably ignored in demotic commentary. Thank you both for expressing that.<br /><br />"....Black people have been at the forefront of defending the rights of the poor in this country, while poor whites have been busily sawing at their own throats."<br />Right. Like how marginalized people are portrayed as "anti-citizens," as Prof. DeVega has discussed, even though they've/you've had to recently fight for rights and continue to do so and in so embody the ideals supposed to serve as the bedrock of our nation.<br /><br />"Katniss did go all "Nat Turner" which may be why she had to be "safely" written as a white girl." <br />As a white person I don't think I'm able to fathom the real-life experiences and antecedents that have led to this insight, which is to say I think it's profound and resoundingly true....<br /><br /><br />Your comments reminds me--Carlos Acosta performed as a guest principle with the Bolshoi Ballet in their <a href="http://balletoman.com/video/238-spartacus.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Spartacus</i></a> a few years ago. Either the liner notes of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Spartacus-Carlos-Acosta/dp/B001BWQVVS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370850878&sr=8-1&keywords=spartacus+acosta" rel="nofollow">DVD</a> or a review mentioned in passing the significance of Mr. Acosta as a brown person playing the leader of a slave revolt--he may be the only non-white person to star in the ballet ever--which indubitably raised the hackles of at least commenter (despite however admittedly oppressed slavic people may have been). (As an aside, ballets with the exception of maybe a few modern ones are more or less very problematic in numerous aspects, and so far save for maybe one thread or two on forums I have not been able to find any interrogation or analysis of blatant repellent racism, colonialism, white privilege, etc. in ballet....)<br /><br /><br />[I'm extremely, pathologically avoidant, and, for instance, despite what time I spend reading blogs I only comment 2x or 3x a year.

But do you remember the racist outcry when a black girl was cast as Rue? (even though Rue was black in the book, racist readers had clearly blocked this out). It would have been more honest had Katniss been black, because the movie is about class warfare, and black people have been at the forefront of defending the rights of the poor in this country, while poor whites have been busily sawing at their own throats. Katniss did go all "Nat Turner" which may be why she had to be "safely" written as a white girl.pjwhitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-56869247769172374012013-06-09T11:26:50.038-05:002013-06-09T11:26:50.038-05:00I agree about the "Norman Lear" syndrome...I agree about the "Norman Lear" syndrome. My "mixed race" sons (half black) talked me into taking them and their friends to a Kevin Smith movie a few years ago. One of his characters launches a filthy racist tirade. I'm sure Smith thought he was making fun of the racist character, but the racists in the audience were yukking it up at the dirty humor. The "liberal" point was lost on them.

That is to say their attempt to expose the cruel underbelly of the America will be seen as an endorsement of the very cruelty they (perhaps?) seek to expose and render harmless. Too many will view this film as a training manual rather than as a prolific warning.<br /><br />I say this based on my experience as an African American Baby Boomer coming of age and entering the work force in America when Lear's "All in the Family", "Good Times" and "The Jefferson's" were leading the ratings on television. The stereotypes Lear sought to expose and render harmless were all to often viewed by my white coworkers, who either by willful ignorance or cruel intent, overlooked Lear's (subtle?) message and bought into "Archie Bunkerism" to reinforce the very stereotypes that Lear clearly disdained.<br /><br />I hold out exacty "zero" hope that the underlying message of "The Purge" will serve as anything more than a training movie for white supremists.<br /><br />Furthermore, fully armed with the knowledge that "Hollywood" is run by white supremist wolves dressed in liberal sheep costumes only reinforces my position that conservative hate-speech can be disguised as liberal free speech when profit, not art, is the untimate motivation.<br /><br />And, who exatly are the "zombies and vampires" that have become so popular in movies today? What exactly is the message being sent by having empathy for white "millineal yuppie" vampires and a complete lack of empathy for the oft portrayed "average joe" zombie hoards?<br /><br />If the ultimate message from "Hollywood" hasn't changed since "Birth of a Nation" then how can we honor "The Hunger Games" as anything more than a future vision firmly rooted in the same overarching theme? This is underscored by the 'sacrifice" of Rue as a character following the long tradition of minority characters killed off for the "greater good" of the noble white central character. <br />In the end, did the "The Hunger Game" central character lead a revolt seeking social justice for all or was her goal just to survive and prosper from her new found fame within the all powerful plutocracy? In that sense, what exactly was noble about Rue's death? Would Rue have been better served by goin' all "Nat Turner"? Uhhhhhh? YES...!!!<br /><br />Jus SayinDomino59noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-17374588910016052462013-06-09T05:51:08.421-05:002013-06-09T05:51:08.421-05:00Having read this I thought it was very enlightenin...Having read this I thought it was very enlightening.

Also, on one of the military channels, it was said that General Eisenhower used non-infantry blacks and a few whites to lure the last of the major portions of Germany's army into a trap to finish them off. I saw video of the German soldiers treating the black American soldiers as pets. They were taking photos with them, giving them treats, laughing, joking, etc. Then General Eisenhower sprung the trap. Josephine Baker aided the French resistance and again, the Nazis felt they had to reason to suspect her. Before the war, Dr. Percy Julian was unable to finish his doctorate at Harvard and had to go to Vienna, Austria to finish his PhD in 1931. Dr. Julian was later forced to resign from his position at Howard University because of letters he had sent from Vienna, detailing his affairs with white Austrian women.

I wonder if this movie will actually reach anyone and make them think in (positive) ways they hadn't before, or if it will only appeal to the basest of viewers and reinforce their already established cruel core beliefs about humanity?<br /><br />Speaking of movie reviews, Dennis Hartley over at Digby's place has what looks like a very interesting one you might like called "The Prey" (French, from 2011 if you IMDB it). Safe to read (no spoilers): <br /><br />http://www.digbysblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/saturday-night-at-movies-french-twisted.html<br /><br />Continue reading past that review and you'll read this: <br /><br />We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks (my review) is now on Pay-Per-View, as is "A Band Called Death", a rockumentary about an African-American proto-punk band from Detroit <br />who released one album in 1975, sunk into obscurity and then was "rediscovered" and acclaimed 30 years on.OaktownGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-21476274088172303312013-06-08T20:47:59.119-05:002013-06-08T20:47:59.119-05:00Hitler started his liquidation with the disabled a...Hitler started his liquidation with the disabled and families on welfare. One lady stated that when she was a child, her family was on welfare. As her family was being pushed into the ovens, she began to sing her alphabets. The guards pulled her from the crowd and saved her because she seemed to be intelligent. I knew someone who lived in Hitler's Germany and she told me that the authorities would even come around to people's homes to make sure they were listening to the Nazi radio broadcasts. Also, neighbor was informing on neighbor. The Nazi regime publicly executed her brother's fiance while her brother was serving in the Third Reich's military. A black soldier who served during WWII stated that as they arrived to liberate the death camps, they were warned by the Jewish people to work for political power or they could find themselves in the same situation. The Jewish people had financial wealth, but without political power , they were powerless at the hands of the state. This had been a problem in Germany for centuries. Most genocides were used to rob the Jewish people of their wealth and to wipe clean debts owed to them. <br /><br /><br />On the homeless black guy thing. Most of the people I see homeless are white. I see them all the time. They are constantly on the streets begging. I admit I have given them food, refreshments and money because some of them look to be ravaged by drug abuse. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but in this area, black people who are more fortunate will help their less fortunate friends and relatives or the poor will share and take turns helping each other.Joyce Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-78303041571061514252013-06-08T10:28:44.285-05:002013-06-08T10:28:44.285-05:00The movie was very uneven.
