Alicia Keys is often spotted wearing braids.
Her choice of styles seem to reflect an almost inherent trait among those of African decent.Even the muscled and threatening Predator seems more "Black" than alien.
The North African Sphinx seems to share this style with...
Lenny Kravitz, Whoopi Goldberg, George Clinton, Bob Marley and even Weezy.

are you suggesting that elements in hollywood are engaged in a bit of imagistic memetic engineering with their depiction of the predator?
ReplyDeleteif so, why?
if so, who?
why ta-fear-i knotty dreads?
the predator one was funny....i rock braids all the time, mostly because i'm lazy though.
ReplyDeleteWeezy too? George's Weezy!
ReplyDelete@ SeeNew - It just seems odd that the AVP movie seems to suggest a (not so) subtle type of image manipulation regarding the human-like qualities of each alien.
ReplyDelete(I don't even remember which one wins at the end of the film.)
It may not even be intentional but I do think certain people can identify more with one than the other.
@ MoMo - Are you a predator?
@ Anna Renee - No not that "Weezy" - L'il Wayne Weezy.
While that might be in style, I think that I'll just keep shaving my head.
