This analysis is developed with reference to recent instances of collective disorder, especially the English riots in August 2011, which is based on published research and media accounts from participants. Moreover, to develop Scheff's approach further, violence needs to be understood as being communicative and invoking normative justifications, which mediate the effects of shame-rage. While emotions such as shame have agental properties, as Scheff and others argue, these need to be situated within structural and cultural conditions that are likely to evoke shame. It argues that while shame is a significant condition for violent action, Scheff does not have a theory of violence in itself but treats the connections between shame-rage and violence as largely self-evident. This article proposes an analytical framework for connecting these levels through a critical appropriation of Scheff's theory of the shame-rage cycle.
RACIST RAGE COMICS SERIES
You will see bugs bunny dressed as a black servant singing "I wish I was in Dixie" - and let's not even get into books designed for children such as those 'adored' Bobsey Twins - (a whole series of books, a must read for all children) who wanted to stop playing one day and go off to watch slaves (the enslaved) being beaten.The sociology of violence is an emerging field but one in which there remains a tension between structural explanations and phenomenological-situational ones that focus on the micro conditions of violence. military stations, and others - and all the old U.S. cartoon animation is done by the way) many of the cartoons are shown on the English speaking U.S. Oh so true - and let's not forget the "Little Lulu" song that everyone was singing ".little Lulu, you are wild as any Zulu" - huh? the Zulu people - wild, for fighting back?īecause I had the opportunity to work in S.

RACIST RAGE COMICS SKIN
True i really get emotional when i watch black movies like roots, amistad etc, skin to see how stupid some people were to hate and mistreat God's children. Some things I just won't watch, because they don't edify me and only sensationalizes racism. I had no idea how strong racism and that hatred was, until this county elected a black president. when you think your brother is lying you say 'you are lying through your tooth!" your house is on wheels and your car is on bricks. I still get a kick out of Jeff Foxworthy and his "You know you're a Redneck if. I laughed at hillbilly jokes even though that is who my own people were. It was a time less focused on sensitivity to be sure. And there were jokes about fat people, ugly people, four-eyes, retards. When I was a kid I heard jokes about everybody, Jews, Micks, Wops, Deigos, Spics, Wetbacks, Polacks, Krauts, Japs, Nips, Gooks, Hillbillies-nobody was immune. I think this stuff was just made to make people laugh. James A Watkins from Chicago on April 11, 2011:
It was done in an era of ignorance and as you said "insensitivity." They could never get away with this today. As you said, "a time less focused on sensitivity to be sure." Adults making fun of each is one thing, it is different when very impressionable children,see themselves portrayed as monkeys, natives,slow and ugly.
We did it without regard to how it made other people feel. Pamela Lipscomb (author) from Charlotte, North Carolina on April 11, 2011:
