Culture Vulture-The Last Word (For Now)
Okay. . .after some more time in my capoeira group, I have to say that I don't think the issues with the differences in capoeira have to do with culture-vultures. It's an art thing not a race thing. Some people just prefer the more artistic side of capoeira. I don't know if that's the teacher's emphasis but it seems like most people simply prefer to play what I would call a performance game. Which is fine. The problem is that I prefer to play more of an ass-kicking game. So only time will tell how I'm going to fit into this situation. This doesn't mean that I don't believe in culture-vultures. Or even that there aren't culture vultures in the class. I'm sure race and class do come into play for all of us. But I do feel that people are more motivated by their artistic notions more than anything else.
