Since its birth in 1945, John H. Johnson magazine, the black American version of Life, Ebony has had no other goal, no other purpose than to arrive at this final point of absolute black respectability. This is bushi power, bushi confidence, bushi beauty. If Johnson were alive today to witness this moment, this perfect image of the Obamas, he would have cried and gone mad like a man walking out of a dark cave and seeing the brilliant sun for the first time. As with all ideals that are realized, it’s just too good to be true.
bushi?
Every step toward Dr King's dream is a welcome step - no matter what color the skin.
:-)
does someone out there know what i'm talking about? come on ya.
you mean bougie? as in bourgeois?
That's what I was wondering, notime. With I think of bushi, I think of samurai.
I think I understand what you're talking about, for once.
"Bushi is a general term used to describe the warrior class of feudal and pre-feudal Japan. This term described the aristocratic warrior of the ninth century to the nineteenth century"
This is what the black version of Life was trying to promote?
Do you mean bougie? "Aspiring to be a higher class than one is. Derived from bourgeois - meaning middle/upper class"
Why no pics with a cigarette hanging from his lips? He'll make a fine VP anyway.
I think he means "bougie," pronounced "boo-zhee" (a shortening of bourgeoisie.)
