His movement, the International Peace Mission, is absent from most histories of the civil rights movement because of "its tacky theology, its unappealing blend of communistic lifestyle and respectability politics, its disavowal of racial identity, and most of all, its iconoclastic leader: a squat, bald, dark-skinned man whose followers called him God and their Redeemer," Morris writes.
"Not Without Laughter" crystallizes some of the themes introduced in Hughes's first two poetry collections and examines in detail subjects he would return to throughout his decades-long career, among them the experiences of working-class and poor blacks, the importance of black music to black life, the beauty of black language and the trap of respectability.
The novel opens in 1944, with the budding love of Evelyn, a daughter of a well-to-do family (her mother is Creole, her father a black doctor who has raised himself to respectability), and Renard, a young man from a poor Twelfth Ward neighborhood who works menial jobs at a restaurant but aspires to study medicine.
" As Leah Wright Rigueur, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, noted in The Loneliness of the Black Republican, Nixon's black voter outreach strategy hinged "on making gestures toward black respectability — one that emphasized self-help, and personal accountability — and elastic tradition embraced by various black communities, ranging from the wealthy, to the militant, to the religious.
As a lower-class child, he visited the looming estate owned by his mother's previous employer, then the immaculate, prosperous heart of the neighborhood, and was immediately filled with longing to be a part of it — of the aristocratic Ayres family who lived there, yes, but also of the house itself, and all that it stood for: gentry, respectability, and tradition.

The "advice" she offered the Vixen was just a stone's throw away from the notorious language once espoused by Bill Cosby, or Charles Barkley, or Ronald Reagan — exhortations to black personal responsibility and rules of behavioral comportment; it implied that the Vixen, in her loudmouthed navigation of the world and her insistence on addressing racism, is lacking in self-discipline and respectability.
In this climate of hatred, it is more than naïve to believe that giving words of xenophobic racism -- words which once before had the power to whitewash genocide and to inspire the worst kind of evil -- a larger audience under the veneer of the respectability granted by footnotes and a prominent publisher justifies negating the wisdom of those who initially banned it.
In 2002 Eminem became the first rapper to win the award for "Lose Yourself" from the movie 8 Mile, and three years later Three 6 Mafia shattered barriers of respectability too, performing "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from Hustle and Flow—the first time a rap song has been performed at the ceremony—before taking home the win that night.
And while I understand some of that reasoning — people do need to be careful about what they post on social media, especially if it's geotagged (Kardashian didn't geotag her tweets, but she did use Snapchat to share photos of herself in the apartment where she was staying) — it's still an instance of victim blaming, with a side of respectability politics.
When she dared to mime sipping tea after scoring on England during their semi-final match, it sparked a conversation on respectability politics and gender in sports; while male players rip off their shirts, do the Fortnite dance, and are given nearly free reign to celebrate a goal in any way they like, women continue to face criticism for behaving similarly.
It was completely out of it in a very affirming way that's brought up a lot more questions than it's answered … it so perfectly encapsulates a kind of everyday absurdity that's part of African life … then on top of that, [it's a story] that's like a big 'Fuck you' to the respectability that often accompanies trying to tell bigger African stories.
There were other films devoted to "bad girls," such as "Red-Headed Woman," in which Jean Harlow, working with a script by Anita Loos, starred as an unstoppable and unpunished home-wrecker; and "The Story of Temple Drake," from the Faulkner novel "Sanctuary," in which a Southern belle (a sensational Miriam Hopkins) lives with a gangster for a while before returning to respectability.
Mr. Burson, who was hailed by the industry publication PRWeek in 1999 as the most influential P.R. person of the 20th century, and whose standards gave a luster of respectability to a business often seen as a confraternity of spin doctors, died on Friday in Memphis, the city of his birth, where he had resided for the last six months.
The "golden age of rom-coms" that followed in the '90s and early aughts was filled with films that, with varying degrees of success, played on the central themes of Pretty Woman: Happiness comes with bourgeois respectability, heterosexual pairing, sex uniquely within the bounds of love, and the shedding of the hardened, aggressive, and/or powerful exterior to reveal the "authentic" lovable self within.
The Revolution, Wood writes, "was as radical and as revolutionary as any in history," destroying beliefs about the superiority of the wealthy that had stood for centuries: [The Revolution] brought respectability and even dominance to ordinary people long held in contempt and gave dignity to their menial labor in a manner unprecedented in history and to a degree not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Of course, it's interesting that West would respond to anger at Obama by affiliating himself with conservative politics, when one might have seen it more as a case for a left-wing critique of Obama as a practitioner of a form of respectability politics — opportunistically leaping in to defend the honor of a threatened white woman with tough talk he would never direct against a white person.
The notion of Martian life gained popularity and respectability when Percival Lowell, a well-regarded scientist who founded the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, spent 15 years gazing at Mars at the close of the 19th century and came up with detailed maps of canals and oases, positing that they had been built by a civilization desperately tapping its last source of water as the planet dried up.
The metaphor is both the subtitle to a paper that Kevin Nadal, professor of psychology at John Jay College, wrote about the impact of microaggressions on L.G.B.T.Q. youth, and the title of another paper on the health implications of black respectability politics by Hedwig Lee, professor of sociology at Washington University in St. Louis, and Margaret Takako Hicken, research assistant professor at the University of Michigan.
Ms. Kohl projected a public image of traditional middle-class respectability, but after her suicide in 2001, Heribert Schwan, a journalist who had ghostwritten three volumes of Mr. Kohl's autobiography and claimed to have had close access to his wife, depicted her as a tragic figure who had worn the trappings of a political spouse "like armor" to shield her unhappiness in the role.
For the exhibition, Esseiva gathered a group of 24 artists at varying stages of their careers to consider the way that American racism moves forward with this great force — from the arrival of the first ship carrying enslaved Africans to today — and the more insidious ways it has trickled through the capillaries of American culture, manifesting in mass incarceration, respectability politics, capitalism, and more.
Still, it was undeniably entertaining to read an idiosyncratic meditation on white femininity in Wurtzel's voice: She wrote about her disappointment that Courtney Love submitted herself to plastic surgery and wore Ralph Lauren to achieve Academy Award respectability, complained that feminists didn't speak out for Amy Fisher, and defended Sylvia Plath from a writer who complained that she'd helped herself to an entire plate of foie gras.
Still, as technology around AI improves and brands start developing sex dolls that are able to convincingly replicate human sexual response, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that sex dolls could one day join the ranks of vibrators and other sex toys, which now enjoy a certain mainstream respectability and are considered supplements of, rather than threats to, a healthy and safe sex life.
In this ethical posture, she unavoidably highlights the awkward decorum of interclass relations between a Princeton graduate and people living in a semi-industrial countryside on the edge of respectability—a nurse just holding her little household together, a former heroin addict living in his family's junkyard, another single mother whose living room is organized around a disconnected Jacuzzi that she bought as scrap and uses to store clothing.
During the period between France's regional elections last December, when her party scored 27 percent of the popular vote but failed to win control of any region, and the presidential election next spring, she has set herself a single goal: to build enough respectability to shatter the so-called republican front through which mainstream parties unite in the second round of a French election to prevent the National Front from winning.
It's a study in stark contrasts: trim, house-proud bungalow blocks and desolate commercial strips with vacant storefronts; lovely parks and glorious lake views and neighborhood schools avoided by residents who have the wherewithal to send their children to charter, magnet or private schools; both Ph.D. holders and high school dropouts in numbers above the city's average; a longstanding reputation for respectability and a grim litany of shootings in the news.
The burden of respectability is boring, and, come to think of it, why should women like Bee have to bother with being respectable when the people she's calling out on her show demand that their political opponents be jailed, make cracks about sexually assaulting women, call Mexicans rapists, defend neo-Nazis, refer to African nations as "shithole countries," call women "fat" or "crazy," refer to immigrants as "animals," and, well, you know all the rest.
Between the accommodationism of Booker T. Washington and the activism of W. E. B. Du Bois, the romance of Zora Neale Hurston and the social realism of Richard Wright, the defiance of the Black Lives Matter movement and the caution of "respectability politics," there has always been something along these lines: go along or fight back, persuade or condemn, love or leave, use a common language or create one of your own.
