Black Taboo -1984-

In the vast graveyard of 1980s underground art, few titles carry as much weight and as little verified information as . The Taboo of State Violence: Before Rodney King

  1. The Taboo of State Violence: Before Rodney King (1991) or the LA Uprising (1992), 1984 saw the height of the crack epidemic and the militarization of police. To speak openly about police as an occupying force in Black neighborhoods was to be labeled "anti-American." This was the core taboo.
  2. The Taboo of Intersectional Rage: The feminist movement was largely white-led; the civil rights movement was largely male-led. To be a Black woman speaking against both patriarchy and systemic racism in 1984 was to enter a space of double censorship.
  3. The Aesthetic Taboo: In music, the polished gloss of Michael Jackson’s Thriller (released late '82, dominating '84) was the acceptable face of Black art. The raw, confrontational noise of anti-capitalist industrial music was considered "white." The melodic rage of hip-hop was considered "novelty." Anything that fused the two—apocalyptic noise with Black vocal fury—was a commercial and social taboo.
