Wiggerdom 101

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2004)

I took to watching this film like I take to swallowing pink antacid. I had been subjected to the music, of course, since I live in a major city where unrestrained car stereos blast all sorts of monotonous dribble. I was most resistant to experiencing the culture of trailer trash sensation, Eminem. Since I am what Eminem would call a "faggot", I feel that I must speak on his level when commenting on his art. It is art. I recognize the artfulness in it all: His lyrics, his film, his persona. I also recognize the cold blooded nature of the culture he promotes and glorifies. I would conjecture that some black men might also protest about this portrayal of black male culture. Yet, I also know that this wigger world view is out there in America. So, I have to admit that the film served an educational function for me. It was akin to watching one of the many films about Nazis or the KKK. I also know now to avoid wiggers and their kin, since they seem committed to a culture of violence and intolerance. The intolerance is the most base kind, since its chief targets are education, achievement and good manners.
