That scene in Ghost where Whoopi Goldberg channels Patrick Swayze and then has sex with Demi Moore is actually about white control of black female bodies.
This has been An Overly Close Reading.

Damn!
that gave me a good chuckle.
Too bad Ms. Tek is no longer here to misread the joke and give you an idiotic response.
lol!
I just wanted to say nothing but “ditto”… can we do a close reading of that word please
i was thinking the same thing quad
lol!
wait-
that happened in Ghost? Man, I need to see that movie again… all I remember is the pottery scene and something about a subway platform.
That was a helluva first post for me to read here. Well played…..
Oh my dayum. Finally the story is told. lol
LOL! this is awesome and so right on! this made my day!
Wow … I’d love to “unpack” that conversation! Deep and wide!
that scene has always destroyed “Ghost”for me, though not quite because of the overly close reading, but simply a literal reading … Demi Moore having sex with Whoopi Goldberg, while one of them is possessed … no way to write that down in a good way …
Wait…they didn’t have sex, did they? All I remember is a small kiss. Did I miss something?
Wow!! I love it!
