☆ Why Are We Obsessed With the Destruction of L.A.?
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Ismail Muhammad | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
For them the flooding was ordained by God, a sign that they were vindicated in a running feud with the team. For many of these conservatives, the ultimate decision to host the Sisters earned the Dodgers a special place in hell. The next day, the Dodgers’ official X and Instagram accounts posted images of a dry and sunny scene at the ballpark. In the movies, L.A. is the place where everything goes wrong; at least the rest of the nation can take lessons from its failures. How, I wonder, does the new visual language of social media train us to understand the world?

☆ Is There a Right Way to Talk About Black Culture?
  + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Ismail Muhammad | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
At its best “Dark Days” is the record of an intellectual life sustained by the Black vernacular. In the essay “Reading Fire, Reading the Stars,” Reeves recounts learning how to be a critic in the Pentecostal church. “Profligacy” is the key word here: With a nod to Hartman’s explorations of “wayward” lives and the presumed promiscuity of Black urban culture, Reeves reframes promiscuity as an aesthetic and intellectual virtue. In Reeves’s hands profligacy becomes an ethical necessity: Everything must be thought of in relation to what it shares space with. Recounting a trip to speak with students at a Native school, he feels his status as a stranger among strangers.

☆ Black Men Don’t Do Therapy. Or So I Thought.
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Ismail Muhammad | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
Sitting in a chair next to the record player, I’d play the song over and over and over, listening tearfully. When my favorite TV characters died, I’d mourn them, staying in my feelings for days at a time. Eventually I met a therapist who practiced cognitive behavioral therapy, an approach whose orientation toward problem-solving suited me. I’d learned to register, name and acknowledge my feelings as a way of managing them rather than being overwhelmed. Sadness sneaked up on me as I tried to describe my emotional life to people who I knew loved me but with whom I communicated through a haze of mutual discomfort.
☆ The Most Disturbing Thing About Jordan Neely’s Killing
  + stars: | 2023-05-12 | by ( Ismail Muhammad | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
The footage’s sedate quality tells us everything we need to know about death and suffering in this society. Despite the violent death we know is coming, the sounds are those of a stultifying normalcy. As the veteran New York journalist Errol Louis wrote recently, Neely was, when he boarded that train, already effectively dead. Maybe riders sensed in Neely’s language his desperation’s logical endpoint, a willingness to cross the border separating him from others. All the agitation and alarm and fear of violence in this situation seems to have happened before the application of a chokehold.
