A BLACK WOMAN WHO CRASHED SO MANY CEILINGS Diana Ross - American Music Awards [2017] [HD]

A BLACK WOMAN who despite racism and sexism ignited popular culture first through the Supremes and then as her own DIVA self.

Ms. Ross has been a presence in music right there with the Beatles, Stones and Ms. Aretha. DIANA ROSS: Artist, Icon and yes Diva with all that those three words imply. I trust that no matter what age your eyes and ears are you will grasp first the spectacle of this black woman and why she infused popular culture with an image of black femaleness that excited your girls' imagination and role-modeled what they could be despite the politics of the days of her life.She inspired Grace Jones, Sade and Tina Turner, who have managed to stand beside her as a groundbreaking visual images of Black femaleness. Ms, Ross sang the soundtrack of my party youth and hopefully yours, Her music is universal and timeless. Young people today hopefully will understand how out of Detroit and the housing projects three black girls survived by singing with fierce beauty and talent that still resonates across culture everywhere. Ms. Ross moved forward as a solo artist but her roots are still forever cemented in the self-affirmation and yes fun that the Supremes represented. Thank you, Ms. Ross.

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 .
