My Focus

This semester, I am enrolled in CES 444, where we are learning about the White Power Movement and all the different sort of ideologies and various events through history. As part of the class, it is required to maintain a blog about any topic we want, while keeping it pertinent to our class. I decided to focus my posts on pop culture, specifically movies and music, and how white nationalists have been utilized or portrayed in these two things to help or hurt their cause throughout history. I will also examine music or movies that have messages taking stands against white nationalism. I am passionate about movies and music, so I picked these topics hoping it would be easy to write about. "Reel" and "Virtuoso" are movie and music terms, put those two together, you get the blog name. Not only will I focus on the historical perspective of white nationalists, but I will also examine how current White Power groups receive current movies and music. Hopefully, readers will be able to enjoy my posts as well as get something from it, seeing as music and movies are global to every one.
