Kendrick Lamar "seizes the moment" at Grammys and puts mass incarceration front and center for black people in the US BLACK LIVES MATTER

Black Lives Matter created the space for creative and artistic pushback by public figures of color to seize the moment and maximize their ability to reach masses of people in response to institutional racism and the killing of black men and women by militarized police forces across the country., The public saw Beyonce finally stepped up at the Super Bowl and now Kendrick Lamar front and center at the Grammys links mass incarceration of black men and women to the roots most black Americans were ripped from to be put on slave ships. HIs album was my choice for record of the years. How to "seize the times " has many different applications . Kendrick Lamar showed his with artistic expression and naked reality at the Music industry most visible moment. I need to find out who conceived and choreographed and directed this spectacular call to history and change. All creative forces need to be recognized.

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.
Yes indeed there is a culture war going .. but you know that if you have arrived here. We suggest that you put theory into practice by taking virtual you and virtual ideas into the reality of real live physical and cognitive action.

MEANING: get up and out of your chair and do something physical in real time. OCCUPY YOUR BODY. Be physical.

The fuel is love, compassion and curiosity. Anger is a result of the repression of fear and distances one from compassionate change ... do the Che Che cha cha cha .. or if you prefer the Stiegler tango! or the Shulamith Firestone death metal raga!

PRAXIS is the action of putting into practice the thoughts, theories and desires running through your bio-magnetic, nerve sensitive self. Reality propelled by the friction of input/output.

Damn it, it should be fun !

I will share with you my interaction in the real world and the theoretical world and invite you to do the same.

Politics is an everyday affair. Politics is how we live our lives Every action or non-action we do is a political act. Culture is the expression of desire in public interactive way.

So jump in please.

Join me in participating in life. Making change starts with self and ripples out. Pop culture is where I live ..not in some isolated, white tower, postmodern, distancing intellectual thought or theory. Theory in practice is praxis . It used to be called dialectics .. still a good word even if dressed up in new theory drag.

Serious fun has it consequences including changing the status quo.

We are all at the same life party. Find the door you can come through to make PRAXIS a full time act of creativity .
