Robert Frank is an outstanding photographer and a smidgeon of his work was presented in an article entitled "Capturing America's Dark Side" but he wasn't pretentious in that way and neither was his photography and his presentation of it was called simply "The Americans." Lucas Reilly presents a great deal of his knowledge regarding Robert Frank but noticeably absent are many of his photographs. Thus Reilly gives another example of why self-adoring journalists waste our time.
This article is not specifically about Robert Frank but rather uses him as a focus for the larger view of things. Know it now that Robert Frank is the bait for my own view so bail out now if you wish.
Generally Frank's photography showed people in not so good to poor conditions and the people here are not in the worst condition of some of the subjects in his photographs but it's clear who is sitting in the back of the bus.
While the portraits of America are real, direct, and immediate about the dark side of America but that shows the victims instead of how they got that way. These people are a reflection of the real darkness and, almost unanimously in his photographs, you can see these people were victims of the darkness rather than perpetrators of it.
Perhaps Frank's longer thought was to elicit thinking toward how they got that way and that's a major possibility as what other reason would motivate him to work so hard to capture the photographs in the first place.
As we have seen and quoted from the GOP, it doesn't matter what their corporations do and there's nothing important beyond making a profit no matter what consequence to anyone else. As mentioned previously, how these people can possibly consider themselves Christians defies belief.
Oh, I helped an old woman to cross the street to find Jesus. Did you now. How many did you kill by indifference and/or calculation in your policies. The old woman was simply one you did not.
All of the political candidates other than Bernie Sanders will continue precisely that with huge emphasis on the corporate world, bombing other countries, and relative indifference to anything in America. They will talk a good show, do count on that, but you can also count on them failing to deliver any of it except the bombs and the bombast.
Naturally, America does everything it possibly can to prevent Bernie Sanders but this time "The Americans" photographed by Robert Frank know what's being done to the country and the rising against it is self-evident all across the country.
The rising goes from coal miners in West Virginia to Black Lives Matter to every liberal who ever believed the premise of it rather than accepting a patty cake version from self-appointed heralds of feminism or any other type of falsity out of Washington. The Trumpites have their own version of outrage regarding Washingtonian hypocrisy so, in sum, the only ones who want to support the status quo and sitting there, fat dumb and happy, because they're endlessly capable of rationalizing the lack of a need to do anything whatsoever in the Scriptures except for fucking with people about North Carolina toilets.
(Ed: that's not in any Scripture of any religion!)
No shit. The people who do it just hate people because they get off on it and will use any excuse they can pull out of the air to rationalize it.
