Blogging again? Spence asked what's next.
We'll I'm rather past the existentials of black republicanism and I think i've stated the case clearly enough for the Old School. I'm a bit more interested in the fundamentals of American citizenship and hacking through the gooeyness of bourgie overkill. I'm heading towards Victor Davis Hanson from the Old School perspective, and trying to reconcile the African American experience within the context of a nation that might be losing its mind. IE how does the middle class align itself with a power class that is not corrupt? How does the emergent minority stay righteous beyond uppityness? What are the dangers and pitfalls?
An example might be, how do you get beyond the shallow multicultural ethic that denies the illegality of illegal immigration? Or how do you choose between a career in something flighty and something that contributes to the strength of the nation. Take Affirmative Action. If X number of careers are set aside as reparation for a prior crime, does it matter what the career is? What if blacks became the undisputed champions of the fast food industry, do we then take responsibility of obesity? How might we have told the talents that made hiphop what it is to avoid becoming degenerates before we knew it would become a billion dollar industry? How long do we need Ice Cube to represent the anger of the ghetto? What are we to make of this when some will rocket to the top of society - how does the blue collar family judge Condi, along strictly political lines?
stuff like that.
Plus, this gospel of Judas is interesting, so there will be more Lucifer Jones. Maybe two sideblogs, one for Lucifer Jones and one for the Cubegeek.
