Art is the most powerful tool in human history. The power of art in education and information is explicit in the works of literature. In the article "The other history of cultural performance", Coco Fuco presents an exemplary masterpiece in blueprint that provides an insight on the cultural barriers along the racial lines. His argument majorly dwells on the vice of the western cultural stereotype that undermines and disregard the performance of the blacks. Such a prejudice is very prominent in the Euro-American cultures. The whites perceive themselves as the natural right and superior beings. They are not only right but also politically correct. Their ego and superiority complex surpass their human reasoning and perceive the blacks as primitive and unworthy that deserve discipline (Fuco, 145). Their ethics are blindfolded in the stereotypes racial prejudice. Not only are they the home of science, but also unified by race, discovery, and smartness.
In my opinion, Coco's article is an awe-inspiring and comforting article among the Blacks' societies. In a fanciful plot, he vividly and successfully exposes the ill of the whites' culture. I think race is just a difference in skin color. We are all united by a common fact that we are human beings. Over the years, the Euro-American people have perceived the blacks to be less human. They only think the blacks are fit for physical work. They have exploited the black population into slavery and perceive their culture as primitive and archaic. For instance, in most of the Euro-American contexts, the color-black is associated with all bad things ranging from poverty to evil powers. Ranging from the colonial era to the neocolonialism, the blacks have never had a place in the whites’ strong political arena. They view the blacks as primates in the evolving process. Thanks to the power of education, the societies have been transformed. The Blacks can now echo their voice in leadership.
