Brutal, shackles swapped for handcuffs
Michael Eric Dyson's deeply troubling and brutal sermon on brutality against African Americans is haunting and powerful. A highly detailed account of horrific racism that occurs​ outside of the vacuum. It is a must read for contemporary society.

"Should be required reading for any white person in America who has felt that familiar combination of heart-sickness and passivity when thinking about race. It is a valuable tool in the battle to wring all vestiges of racism out of oneself."

Mixed feelings
I loved this movie when I was a teenager. I loved the costumes, the drama, the romance. We lived in a bubble back then and were woefully ignorant of racism and all the harm done to people of color (and are still being done to people of color.) So I have a very small soft spot in my heart for this movie but feel terrible about it.
