White Wife

Pretty much every black person in America has white blood. That's a consequence of slavemasters raping their female slaves. So whether or not Mario has white blood in him is inconsequential. America still views him as a black man. The color of his skin, pure black or not, pegs him as a black man. And so, he's had to live his life as a black man in America.

And for the record, "The Man" does not encompass every white man...or woman. Plenty of white people worked on Sweetback...and Baadasssss! That doesn't make Sweetback any less of a revolutionary statement, or a "less black" film.

Hmmmm? How can a woman be ultra feminist and very vocal about the abuse women have suffered at the hands of men and still marry a man? Isn't that what you are asking in some ways. One can ahte the sin and still love the sinner. Or maybe Melvin was open minded enough to not think every white person was his enemy. That allowed him to fall in love with a white woman and have plenty of white friends.

Is it inconsistent? Perhaps. But so were the white slave owners who despised black folks but still slept with female slaves.

does'nt make any difference,but I don't think mr.van peebles & his wife were together around the time "sweetback" movie came out.
but does'nt make any sense. I know a lot of ppl that were in the black panther party & did the same thing.
just a bunch of rhetoic is all.
