Along came the flu pandemic and then he was gone. Your baby is the miracle the whole world has been waiting for. Everybody know that the plague is coming Everybody knows that is moving fast The Human Project is having this dinner and all the wisest men in the world are there.. "Human Project" Why do people believe this crap? You know, even if these people existed with these facilities in secret locations. Even if they discovered the cure for infertility - it doesn't matter. Too late. The world went to shit. You know what? It was too late before the infertility thing happened. Bexhill Refugee Camp

Identity is an endless ever unfinished conversation
"Identity is an endless ever unfinished conversation" (Stuart Hall) ... whatever is the actual color of my face, socially historically, culturally politically I made the identification with being black" THE STUART HALL PROJECT Directed by John Akomfrah (2013)
THE CRISIS AND THE RACIAL LENS A crisis of authority. "The enemy is within the gates. He is nameless. He's everywhere. This is not a crisis of race but RACE ponctuates and periodizes the crisis. Race is the lens to which people come to perceive that a crisis is developing. It is a framework to which the crisis is experienced..."
STUART HALL ON DIASPORA
IT IS NOT WHAT THE MEDIA SAY IT IS WHAT THE
MEDIA DON’T SAY. (ON RACE IN TV)
STUART HALL in 2006 >> "every diaspora
has its regrets. Although you can never go back to the past. You do have a
sense of loss. There is something you’ve lost the kind of intimate connection
with landscape, family and tradition which you lose.
“My generation stayed at home and got deeply
involved in writing the history of the nation and I wasn’t there. I was
watching that from a far. I see now the limits of that.
And I came to England and I couldn’t be a
member of this one either… I’m not a part of the conception of the nation… So I’m
cosmopolitan by default. I had to find my way amongst many attachments, many
identification and I had to recognize how limited that is
I’ve tried to maintain the openness of the
horizon to that which I ‘m not. The experiences I’ve not had.
Cos that’s really…if this is a global moment
there’s so many experiences that we know nothing about. We can’t close it up
around…. even our history. It is a horizon towards that point where our
experience of history ends and another history begins. (I don’t want to make a
fetish of otherness)"
