...Rokia Traoré concert at the Somerville Theatre last Friday was a real live example of what Christian Lander, author of blog and book “Stuff White People Like,” has been talking about in his ongoing list about the white middle class. The Somerville Theatre was packed with a decidedly middle-aged Caucasian audience who seemed to be all dressed up, with a notable lack of irony, for #118—Ugly Sweater Parties. Traoré, a bluesy artist from Mali who sings in a combination of French, English and Bambara, took the stage...
...same thing in psychiatry. To be ordained in most religions, at least in Christian religions, you have to prove to a group of other people that God has spoken to you.
