Reorienting Race-Themed Art

[Abishai100]

The proliferation of 'gangsta-rap' (rhythmic rap music with explicit lyrics about poverty-induced ethnic urban crime and gang violence) by African-American artists/groups such as N.W.A. and The Wu-Tang Clan gives a new face to the social dialogue surrounding the minority experience in the United States.

The African-American rap musician KRS-One released the title "Black Cop," a sardonic testament to the cultural frustrations endured by ethnic minorities and the seeming hypocrisy of blacks being hired as 'officers of the law' in a racially-biased America, shocked audiences about the degree of social criticism that gangsta-rappers wanted to voice using the media as a pulpit.

Gone are the pseudo-idealism days of Sammy Davis, Jr., and the new 'face' of race-marketed arts is one of obvious social commentary, perhaps to reflect a new age urbanization-related concern about population/immigration mismanagement.

How can we 'reorient' race-themed art to tackle podium issues such as minority unemployment and hate crimes in the United States?

In the American crime-thriller film Ricochet, starring the popular African-American actor Denzel Washington, a gritty and ethical African-American police officer is framed for crimes he is innocent of and must outwit the mastermind maniac who put him in a hell-hole. Imagine a new film in which Denzel Washington plays a 'maniac cop' who goes around NYC late at night and shooting thugs and crooks in the forehead with a silencer-gun, insisting that the job of the ethnic minority is to serve as an 'anti-American vigilante.'

We have to reimagine the borders of 'slang etiquette.'
