Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.

I was raised to believe that you had to do things better than white people in order to succeed. the old black shows were better than the white shows. "the jeffersons" (1975) was a lot better. "good times" (1974) was way funnier. "sanford and son" (1972). now, though, everyone thinks we're equal, so we submit the same shit that everyone else submits. and then we get mad when they won't air it. you got to go back to the old attitude of it has to be twice as good.

I know a whole generation has been raised on the notion of multiculturalism; that all civilizations are just different. no! not always. sometimes things are better! rule of law is better than autocracy and theocracy; equality of the sexes, better; protection of minorities, better; free speech, better; free elections, better; free appliances with large purchases, better! don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance.
