Six decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, award-winning journalist Sam Forster performs a daring transformation in order to taxonomize the various types of racism that persist in modern America. Seven Shoulders is the most important book on American race relations that has ever been written.

see i thought you might have been referring to icecube’s award winning experiment Black. White.
I didn’t know it actually won an emmy lmao
I was going to say, I learned about this book as a child
Its not even the first time someone Re-did it this century
taxonomize
oh thank god, finally. I was just saying to myself, “if only someone would taxonomize racism”
right?
y’know the thought that keeps coming back to me, emi? i’d bet my entire collection of apes that this guy really wanted to write that seven shoulders is the most important book that has ever been written, period, but he figured he should tone it down a notch.
By wearing blackface, I learned that black people get asked “why the fuck are you wearing blackface? What’s wrong with you?” a lot. Truly great insight into racism.
Reminds me of that old “I dressed up as a woman” vine
This is an elaborate bit
…right?
maybe he is dutch
he’s canadian
that’s dutch-in-waiting (see not just bikes)
The number of Canadians I know that now live in Holland is staggering.
Yeah, it’s Justin Trudeau using a pen name
Oh… this makes way more sense now
This was literally a sketch on the Sarah Silverman show
This was literally a thing that already happened decades ago. And also a 1980s comedy starring C Thomas Howell
I wanted to say Black Like Me was actually important becaue it was written at a time when white people would actually take a white man’s account of how racism effects black people seriously, but, like, that part hasn’t changed for a lot of the us.
Still, interesting experiment. Interesting to contrast with anthropology practices i guy was honest about who he was and what he was doing if anyone asked, but the goal was still ultimately to deceive. Anthropologists doing participant observation, basically hanging out with people and talking about their lives to try to get some insight on how they experience the world, have to be up front and honest about who they are and what they’re doing. Idk if black like me influenced the development of ethical standards in anthro. It was a pretty harmless, well intentioned experiment. But it is a contrast to modern anthro practices. Similar kind of exploration, but different ethos.
Justin Trudeau would be proud.
Just going to leave this here.
Not since Justin Trudeau have I seen a cracker so elegantly pull off blackface.
