Downe Dissidents carve paths across the Stro with swagger, white shoes, and Henn. borderless, cross-cultural, and intergenerational. respectful, working class virtues that unfolds on weekend nights to pass the time away. congregated in hip hop beats that brings the machismo next to the effeminate and the androgynous gray who say i dont give a fuk either way to share the floor and drinks and reconnect as a community.
in weekend clubs, the problems of the day disappear and the closets of filipino/latino/black expectations dissipates in the night;
and the classist spit of gay hipsters and daddies is lost in beer bottles instead of brown faces. and where codeswitching from str8 to downe and back again gets slurred in my 5th drink.
recent nights in the stro, places of refuge are demolished by money that fears that brown dollars chases away the white dollars. that fears that poor sub/urban youth unroots the romanticed picket fences of 18th street.
and the dissent is waged on several fronts.
swagger, white shoes, and Henn transforms to militant marches and a pen, scribing and mapping lost communities of the Stro. scribing the protracted timeline and methodically plotting milestones of reconciling and connecting brown or downe issues to a unified and common struggle
that's basic.
