Give me a better, less racially charged term and I will use it. <br /><br />Everett is currently your only source for the Piraha language. As Radford points out "what we know about the language is what he (Everett) tells us." <br /><br />At the risk of my point being rounded off to a polarized black & white position, imagine if say Everett or Chomsky were the only authority we had for interpreting the lyrics of rap music. We're talking about English speaking linguists interpreting English. I'm sure they will consider race, class, gender, generation, geographic locations etc but it will stand that they are the only source in which that data is interpreted & considered and at some point that information becomes a David Carradine rendition of Shaolin kung-fu.<br /><br />This is not about George Jefferson slamming a door in a honky's face it's about the cultural influence, of merely one non-Piraha authority on the Piraha language, working it's way into the final analysis.Gee Chee Visionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-75725856453066123892012-03-30T20:20:32.904-05:002012-03-30T20:20:32.904-05:00GCV - my fatigue with these tropes is terminal.
...GCV - my fatigue with these tropes is terminal. <br /><br />I am SOOOOOOO tired of muhphuggaz who think in terms of black and white, instead of IQ 150 vs IQ 250, or 3-D vs 4-D cognition - that I simply want to scream. <br /><br />Everett is a smart cat. He has enough game and enough data to piss of Chomsky. <br /><br />I'm interested in the intersection of these data and these ideas.<br /><br />Everything else is stoopid conversation in which I am utterly and completely disinterested.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-23490813012681121632012-03-30T19:01:30.198-05:002012-03-30T19:01:30.198-05:00The Piraha asked him about the complexion of Jesus...The Piraha asked him about the complexion of Jesus. His response was a neutrality that wouldn't offend the <br />Piraha nor reject his Eurocentricity. Most likely he assumed that somehow <br />Jesus was white. Then again if you believe in a god-man why not believe he could perform a DNA secession from a lineage of dark complexions.<br /><br />Until Everett exposes his immune system to the common Cole ( http://subrealism.blogspot.com/2012/03/white-savior-industrial-complex.html) he'll never reach the 36th Chamber. <br /><br />Everette has yet to dissect the pervasive and subtle symptoms of white supremacy that he failed to identify as the key "pollutant" in his Piraha relationship. Vijay Prashad speaks of our bureaucratic management of multiculturalism while ignoring white supremacy. The white supremacy that Dr. Sherman Jackson argues is about the normalization of whiteness as oppose to it being about the hatred of non-whites.Gee Chee Visionnoreply@blogger.com
