Denzel Illustrates and Exposes the Real 'Problem' of Multiculturalism

Fairness demands representation in multiplicities, and one that locates and spreads power into these multiplicities and is decentralized/ federated into them, not "shared" and thereby "combined" with contentious portions 'erased' or 'ignored' by them.  50 States... 50 Cultures.  The Hollywood "White/Jewish Gaze" cannot do justice to the diversity of cultures of either America, or the World. For that, we need diverse Discourses.

Denzel seems to believe, and is right, that there is an African-American discourse that needs representation, and he seeks to serve as a vehicle for producing one.  But there are also many and varied African-American discourses.  Wouldn't it be better if more of them could speak?  Tell their own "true/ authentic" stories?  Provide an "otherness" that you don't want to immediately identify with and harvest "Likes" from, but instead, make you think and thereby achieve a larger/ greater understanding of what's usually lost into the schism/ abyss between "faith" and "knowledge"?

Surely if Acxiom can create a profile for every single one of the diverse users of the internet, it can aggregate overlaps, identify group/culture needs, and products to serve them.  What it can't do is empower those group aggregations with authentic representatives willing to develop those products.  And so actual/ authentic needs go unsatisfied in the resulting schizoid marketing processes.  And maybe that's the point.  To keep the consumer base perpetually "wanting".  A loyal "fan-base/ brand-base" (like "Democrats") that never gets what they ask for, Meaningful  True/ Authentic Diversity, and not some wealthy celebrity token-actor stand-in serving like a brand logo for the general interests of the prevailing power structures.

Capitalism stands in direct opposition to existing Cultures.  It commodifies Labour by breaking down and destroying the worker's cultural world in order to inject in and over-lay a novel "corporate" productivity culture to serve the interests of the Capitalists.  It "decenters" the existing culture and makes it pursue a new line of flight towards serving the interests of the parasitic capitalist drawing off sustenance from it.  Most times this is beneficial to both, but if the sustenance removed becomes sufficiently large, it starves the host culture (disappearing Middle Class).  This is what is happening under "late-Capitalism/ vampire Capitalism".  This is what brought about the 9/11 attacks and the Arab Spring.  And so the Neoliberal Capitalists must seek out new hosts and new markets... leading to wars in Ukraine and Russia and the psycho-politics of propaganda and censorship in Europe and America.

Tarek El-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi (Arabic: طارق الطيب محمد البوعزيزي, romanized: Ṭāriq aṭ-Ṭayib Muḥammad al-Būʿazīzī; 29 March 1984 – 4 January 2011) was a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010 in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, an act which became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring against autocratic regimes. His self-immolation was in response to the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation inflicted on him by a municipal official and their aides.

Capitalists have become increasing efficient at harvesting human capital for wealth creation.  Today's "Achievement Society" is the result.  But as many an Achiever-wannabe is finding out, the competition for "achievers" is both global and intense.  The resulting psycho-political burn-out is showing up, in opioid-fentanyl deaths, incel hikikomori's, and the internet addictions of billions of tech users.
