why does it say "black bodies", is that a thing? and if so what is the political motivation behind saying bodies and not people



because white people have black body issues

It's a ref to Kanye Wests song off Yeezus, Blood on the Leaves, which samples strange fruit by Nina Simone.
#2083
it was popularized by Coates, don't really know where he picked it up from but I think the rhetorical intent is to highlight the way in which white supremacy inflicts objectification. probably also is popular b/c it flattens class differences w/in the black community
#2084
He probably actually did take it from Kanye because he's a giant dork.

A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence.

In Poppenreiter’s vision, Ohlala is an app for any woman who thinks she ought to be compensated for her time and efforts when she goes out with someone. It seeks to turn leisure time — a precious, dwindling commodity — into billable hours. In that sense, Poppenreiter’s right: her app isn’t really an "Uber for escorts." It’s a TaskRabbit for emotional labor. Perhaps that makes it more radical than anything else — with its tasteful design and young, hip founder, Ohlala suggests a world in which there’s no "kind of woman" who sells her time and affection, because every woman could be that kind of woman.

well its an old term but theres been a lot of chatter about this recently. its been nomenclature for the last year or so due to certain national BLM speakers modeled statements after some journalists. the image of eric garner struggling on the street was practically a flag for the movement. that said, theres also a critique inside the movement that white allies and black artists are appropriating this for their own gain (social and monetary)

e: wow im late

"“I was walking down Oranienburger Straße — I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s the truth — it was chilly, and I saw the poor girls on the streets, and I thought, why isn’t there an app? It’s not efficient to wait outside,” she told the Local. Poppenreiter thinks the app will “revolutionize the image of sex work” and make it appear less “shabby.”"

Walking home along a cross-street after dinner, Anthony noticed a night-bound cat prowling near a railing.

“I always have an instinct to kick a cat,” he said idly.

“I like them.”

“I yielded to it once.”

“When?”

“Oh, years ago; before I met you. One night between the acts of a show. Gold night, like this, and I was a little tight—one of the first times I was ever tight,” he added. “The poor little beggar was looking for a place to sleep, I guess, and I was in a mean mood, so it took my fancy to kick it—”

“Oh, the poor kitty!” cried Gloria, sincerely moved.

Inspired with the narrative instinct, Anthony enlarged on the theme.

“It was pretty bad,” he admitted. “The poor little beast turned around and looked at me rather plaintively as though hoping I’d pick him up and be kind to him—he was really just a kitten—and before he knew it a big foot launched out at him and caught his little back—”

“Oh!” Gloria’s cry was full of anguish.

“It was such a cold night” he continued, perversely, keeping his voice upon a melancholy note.” I guess it expected kindness from somebody, and it got only pain—”

He broke off suddenly—Gloria was sobbing. They had reached home, and when they entered the apartment she threw herself upon the lounge, crying as though he had struck at her very soul.

“Oh, the poor little kitty!” she repeated piteously, “the poor little kitty. So cold—”

“Gloria—”

“Don’t come near me! Please, don’t come near me. You killed the soft little kitty.”

Touched, Anthony knelt beside her.

“Dear,” he said. “Oh, Gloria, darling. It isn’t true. I invented it—every word of it.”

But she would not believe him. There had been something in the details he had chosen to describe that made her cry herself asleep that night, for the kitten, for Anthony, for herself, for the pain and bitterness and cruelty of all the world.
