What does "Fuck me like a little school girl have to do with using the word fag in a porn scene????
Yes. I have seen that blog posting before and it was also discussed here. I do regularly follow this thread. I do not post as often as others but I do chime in and contribute to the thread(S)
Bottom line is that when Dixon arrived at CF in the first sentence he is described as being Half-Black and Half-White. You considering him "White" is a big deal. This is not Europe and the musicians you mention would be from the 60's-70's, an entirely different time and different circumstances. Being a person of color does not hold the same stigma and AF-AM people in the entertainment industry are much more celebrated and copied a hell of a lot more then in those by gone days. You simply cannot compare today's AF-AM influence in the arts with those of the past.
Legally the one drop rule is not upheld, however socially it still carries a lot of weight. Dixon seems to be very proud and upfront about it and as I pointed out above, likes to have a deeper skin tone, judging by the visits to tanning salons. Just by that you considering him "White" with mixed ancestry is not how he see's himself, so maybe you should reconsider how you see him and others like him. As for Quadroon, octagoon, mulatto those terms as have been mentioned by myself and others are offensive. Is it as offensive as the N-Word? Depends on who you ask, bottom line is that those terms were created to demean and was a tool for segregation and not for celebrating one's heritage. So just because you do not think it is offensive and those people of African descent who were born and raised in America, couldn't possibly grasp the full meaning and weight those terms come with and hat they were created to do. If they did maybe it would make a difference. Those terms were created to classify people as being less then white and though mixed they were was of limiting a person rights and their freedoms so they could not "Pass" for being white. My thoughts are that if a person makes sure you know they are 1/2 or 1/4 AF-AM then they want people know they are not simply white, people persisting to classify those people as simply white without acknowledging their ethnic heritage is an insult.
The link is also, interesting in another way. The racist doesn't seem to understand how in the wrong he is and insists he is right, because for some god foreseen reason thinks his opinion is the valid one and those that see him as ignorant, foolish and just a waste of space are completely wrong. Dixon has made it well known who and what he is concerning his heritage and it's not simply white.
