Fire Walk With Me
This page is a weird mix of rantings and ravings, Music, graffiti, punk,Doctor Who, postpunk, comics,art, general silliness and GPOB (gratuitous pictures of Bowie). Sometimes I post about the 2012 US elections

I woke up thinking about zombies.
Because I distinctly remember, the first time my Haitian mother saw me reading a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide, she didn’t think that shit was funny. Zombie shirts? Zombie movies? TV shows?
She hates all of it.
Because Zombies are a legitimate cultural anxiety back in Haiti. I’m not talking about flesheating bullshit.
If you’re unfamiliar with the background of zombies in Haiti, go look it up.
Because the Haitian zombie isn’t just someone who is drugged and rendered basically brain dead - they are enslaved by the person who was paid to create them.
Think about that. Think about that as a legit cultural fear for an island full of black folks who cast off their oppressors and have struggled ever since: being re-enslaved.

I knew there was a legitimate fear of zombies for Haitians, but I never understood why until reading this.
