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."

Glosses over the fact that the association the men join is the KKK and refer to it as a political meeting.
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.
