#hoodoo — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #hoodoo, aggregated by home.social.

  1. "Who Do You Love?" is a song written by American #rockAndRoll pioneer Bo Diddley. Recorded in 1956, it is one of his most popular and enduring works. The song represents one of Bo Diddley's strongest lyrical efforts and uses a combination of #hoodoo-type imagery and boasting. It is an upbeat rocker, but #theOriginal did not use the signature #BoDiddleyBeat rhythm. "Who Do You Love?" was part of Bo Diddley's repertoire throughout his career.

  2. "Got My Mojo Working" is a #blues song written by Preston "Red" Foster and first recorded by #RAndB singer #AnnCole in 1956. Foster's lyrics describe several #amulets or #talismans, called #mojo, which are associated with #hoodoo, an early African-American folk-magic belief system. In 1957, #MuddyWaters released the song with some different lyrics and a new musical arrangement. It was a feature of his performances throughout his career.

  3. Florida university to host extremist after DeSantis-led lurch to right

    New College of Florida (NCF) will ⚠️host the extremist writer #Steve #Sailer,
    who has been described as a
    💥“white supremacist” and a
    💥“proponent of scientific racism”,
    at a college-branded public eventnext month.

    New College has made headlines since January 2023, when the rightwing governor,
    ❌Ron DeSantis, vowed to transform it from a university known for liberal values into a conservative institution,
    and installed a new board of trustees including the rightwing culture warrior #Christopher #Rufo.

    That board in turn appointed DeSantis’s “close ally” #Richard #Corcoran as the new college president, in which role he makes a $699,000 salary.

    DeSantis’s lieutenants’ actions at New College
    – like ♦️abolishing disciplines,
    ♦️removing bathroom signage
    and ♦️denying professors tenure
    – have seen ➡️ the departure of more than a third of the faculty,
    and given rise to myriad legal actions.

    But the moves have been lauded by the so-called “new right”,
    many of whom see US higher education as a bastion of liberalism that needs to be subject to a rightwing “#reconquista”.

    JD #Vance, for his part, has pledged to. 🆘 “#aggressively #attack the universities in this country”.

    Even so, Sailer’s invitation to speak is likely to stir controversy for his extremist views, especially on race.

    In Sailer’s newly published anthology, Noticing, one essay claims that
    an “African population explosion” is related to
    a “primal African cult of fertility”.

    Another associates “young woman-of-color journalists”
    with “Haitian #voodoo and Southern #hoodoo magic”.

    🔥Many offer variations on the claim that “Blacks have higher average levels of violent crime and lower average levels of intelligence”.
