Ava DuVernay's "13TH" Documentary (Out Now)
- Thread starter Deltron

What's the back and forth and what happened in here? I plan on watching this late tonight or early tomorrow but I'm very very interested. Ava can do no wrong at this point in my eyes
From what I've heard of this, doesn't Ava end it by basically saying she's not a huge fan of Hillary and the Clintons based on the 94, but she gives her props for acknowledging the law went way too far? And also would rather have her in office than Trump because she can at least have a conversation about race rather than pretend it doesn't exists and knows the woman based on conversations they've had? Therefore she's voting for her because voting for Trump would set the race back by three or more decades. So does that make her a c00n as well?
Also, and I know this isn't higher learning but let me drop this: there are many black members of congress and the senate and even our parents who bear a lot to blame on the 94 bill. My friends and I spoke to my dad about it and he and my mom were completely down for it at the time, just like a lot of other black parents who wanted to protect their kids. They moved out of DC to the suburbs just to escape that crime and not have to raise their son in an environment where he could walk down the street and possibly not make it home. He says they didn't foresee the ills that would come from it because they had no way of seeing it coming and that most in the country didn't. They wanted a quick solution and they were afraid and they, along with republicans and democrats -- a lot of members of the CBC and NAACP included -- but pressure on Bill to get something done and be tough.

It goes a lot deeper than just "Bill signed the Crime Bill" and "Hillary said super predator"...this shyt has been baked into our legal system for a long time and the whole increase in mass incarceration started long before The Clinton's drove up from Arkansas.

How anyone could watch this documentary and just come out of it with this "fukk the Clintons!" mantra strikes me as a shame because it means they didn't really pay attention to what Ava was trying to say in her doc.
Cats on the coli not paying atrention? I'm shocked
Very well done just watched it earlier today. Will definitely recommend it to my friends.
watched it. so much info, I felt like she tried to pack some much in. which I get considering how complex these issues are. I hope they because it was so much info and issues that it wasn't too much for some people.
emotionally, its just...infuriating man. literally makes you want to holler.
