In my previous post "The Obama Effect": "Depicting Slavery as a Horror Show" I wrote about the black director of the recently released film, 12 Years Running:
...what a disgusting human being this director is, and how pathetic people are to allow themselves to be manipulated by him not just in this film, but in other guilt-filled and exaggerated, and often false, depictions of the lives of blacks as slaves.What is actually more shocking than the shock effects of this director is that he's married to a white woman! But he's not actually married to her, although they have a daughter and a son together. She is addressed as his "longtime partner" in various sources. She is referred to as a "cultural critic" and is apparently Dutch. Here is a referral to a Bianca Stigter, placing her in Amsterdam, with a photograph of a girl/boy that very closely resembles the photograph of the girl above. And according to a 2010 New York Times article, McQueen left England for Holland in 1996. It makes sense that he settled down in super-liberal Holland, with a "partner" who is a "cultural critic" who probably advocates that all "culture" is good, and that honesty in art is the most important thing - i.e. that an artist should show all the sex, violence, horror, and demonism he thinks is necessary to get his artistic "message" across. And marriage is unecessary, in their world of "free" love
How does this "partner" reconcile her husband's hate for whites (that is what it boils down to) with his with his partnership with her, a white woman? What does their partnership consist of? How do they discuss his film projects?
Male Partner: I have this idea for a film.
Female Partner: Oh, that's great!
Male Partner: It is about slavery.
Female: I'm sure you'll have a lot to say about that.
Male: Well, it's about the evil whites who loved every minute of humiliating their slaves.
Female: Oh, yes...
Male: I'll add a lot of beautiful cinematography, to accentuate the evil.
Female: OK. Mmmm. I'm sure you'll do a great job.
Stigter's cultural criticism includes works such as:
Gold from Straw: The Human Body as an Adventure which is a book about:
Gold from straw is a book about people are in straitjackets and about people who are burst out brilliantly, about people who adhere to standards, or people who paint. Everyone is born with a body, but virtually no one is satisfied. In this book, there are stories about women who want to be men, about robots who want to be human, pigs that talk and elephants who listen to music. [I constructed this English translation of the synopsis from various online translations]And a book she co-wrote titled Fransje Killaars, where she does reach out to Third World, or at least to the non-white of the world, as she reviews the works fellow Dutch textile "artist" Fransje Killaars, who makes "installations" of textiles she reproduces based on Indian carpets and rugs.
Stigter was the one who gave the book 12 years running to her husband, probably suggesting that it could be made into a film. She is the ideal, white wife (or partner, in this case) for this black man. She subjugates herself, and her race, in expiation for all those sins she has been told, and will continue to be told, she has performed in the name of her white superiority and inherent desire to harm blacks. It is an exorcism that she needs, and part of that involves endlessly seeing, reading and discussing this great sin. And her exorcist, to her great luck, is her "partner."
