I always find that a lot of these films and visual media attack racism in a heavy handed way. Racism isn't just something you meet and see head on. It's not just as simple as someone saying something to you once, or getting your ass beat because of your color, or someone saying something inappropriate to you over dinner conversation. It's insidious. Racism is something that eats away at you over the years of your life, a detritus, a rust that raises your cortisol levels. It's something that you keep in your head as you think back on the years of your life. You grow older and reflect back, and realize that it's painted events in your life and interactions with people here and there. It's something that keeps you up at night. It's a hopeless thing that digs in your psyche deep when you read the news. It's something you see when you're out on the street and people look at you a certain way.
I don't know if there's a film out there that really captures that.
, house of lies has its moments, wasn't fond of last season's storyline with TIP and mekhi ..they better wrap it up this upcoming season. Showtime got no sense when it comes to their shows..they just beat down their shows to death..
