    ... but Goldman doesn't need to be broken up....And also, they're not a bank. And they don't have a home loan portfolio.

    A more apt sign would say "Stop Profiting From Our Pain" or, uh, "What's The Deal With Your Insane Profits On Questionable Trades, Goldman? I Mean, Really?" or "Blankfein Is A Fucking Chump."

    Or, maybe they're lost and are looking for a Bank of America or Citi or Chase office.

    @That-Dude: They declared themselves a bank holding company in late 2008 to access lending from the Fed that was normally unavailable to strictly investment banks.

    I should have been more clear-- Goldman is not a bank in the way that people traditionally think about banks. It's primarily an entity that trades for its own profit and investment house/money manager for very wealthy people and governments/corporations. You can't get a checking account at Goldman Sachs. You can't get a home loan from Goldman Sachs. It's much more like Morgan Stanley than it is like Citigroup. #goldmansachsprotest

    @morninggloria: I think I understand what you are saying about what are considered traditional banks (i.e., banking focused on traditional consumer issues), but your presumption is that this sign holder doesn't understand what Goldman actually is. (Note: she may not actually understand what Goldman is, but then again, she may.) #goldmansachsprotest

    @That-Dude: My point was that there were so many other, better signs that she could have made that could have more accurately described why the average American should be at least a little upset with Goldman Sachs.

    Goldman's role in the housing crisis and economic collapse is a great example of smart people with a "fuck you, everyone who isn't me" attitude profitting obscenely from their information advantage over the average American. They've got $GOD money, and use that to buy the best talent out there, and then just continue to run a truck over everyone. They're the New York Yankees of the financial sector, but evil-er.

    Their role in the crisis isn't what this woman's sign implies-- that Goldman is in a league with the large Wal Mart-y banks like Citi and BofA that have abused the repeal of Glass-Steagall and need to be broken up. It's different, and it's just as bad. #goldmansachsprotest

    The Alaia bit is just dreadful. I used to work at a high-fashion, Middle Eastern mag and we profiled him for our premiere issue. It's not 80s fashion without him. What a ridiculous move on the part of the Met.

    Can I just say I kind of hate André Leon Talley. Putting aside what he did to J-Hud at the Oscars (which was horrible), he strikes me as one of those people who is using sheer stereotypical bullshit to get people to think he actually has something interesting to say.


    Just because you say the word fierce doesn't mean the following words will be anything insight, interesting or thought provoking. Just because you add "oh honey child" or some bullshit doesn't turn insipid commentary is insightful commentary.


    George Faye and Miss J also piss me off for the same reason.

    @Trulymadlyme: I find it ridiculous that "Miss J" teaches young women how they should mince down the catwalk in a parody of femininity. We will know the sexes are truly equal when we have a butch lesbian teach young men how to be more masculine on prime time television. Judging by his ghastly outfit at the Met, Andre Leon Talley has no business telling anyone how to dress stylishly.

    @Liz11685: Doubtful. Decisions about his tenure are made by the museum world, not the fashion world. He and Andrew Bolton are very well respected with the museum world, and his exhibitions bring in lots of visitors to the Met. The Dangerous Liasons and Anglomania shows alone will bring him long term acclaim.


    You have to remember, the Met is used to dealing with putting on shows with artists who are dead (due to a policy of not putting on solo shows for living artists). It's rare that they have to deal with a reaction from a living artist. Also, the Met has a new director, who may not be ready to shake things up too much int he current climate.

    Not to long ago an author did a photography book of pics of black women and their church hats. It was beautiful. Aretha reminds me of that; the way I felt in church when I was a youngin'. You could see the ladies of the church wearing their purple, red, yellow, green or silver hats; looking fierce, divine and faithful. They would pop you in the back of the head for misbehaving just as quickly as they would give you a butterscotch candy from their big ol' grandma purses. And their voices were always so strong and full of wisdom, especially when they sang.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk: Diary of a Mad Black Blogger: It was great to see Aretha wear the Hat. The Hat said that this really was change we could believe in. There is a cultural change in the White House, and a cultural change in the nation, and I have no idea what it's going to look like, but it's going to include the Hat, and all the ladies who wear hats like that on Sundays. They are inside the gates now and walking down the corridors of power, and if you give them sass, it will be at your peril.
