I'm just astounded. Where is the anger, the uprising, where is the motherfuckin' revolution... how did we become such a comlpacent people that we just accept Nazi Concentration-like tactics of herding, separating and keeping at gunpoint large groups of traumatized civilians. It's as real to me as if it was still happening.
That's strange, b/c my first thought was there are not enough drugs in the world to make me feel good right now after watching it. And I'm curious too, are people goning to watch it in other places? Do they care? As much as they care about Jon Benet's killer drinking champagne in first class? And when they watch it, white Americans in front of their HBO in their air-conditioned homes on their comfy couches, will they just see a bunch of black people, "those" welfare people who brought this on themselves? It scares the shit out of me that more people aren't angry.
I will have that tivo-ed so you can ride uptown and watch it w/me. I've been away for almost three weeks now and I have read press about the movie and heard from a friend who used my tickets to attend at the Arena but I have not seen it yet.
As I did after evacauting a few days after the fact, I am trying to do a media deprivation regarding this particular "anniversary" but there's only so much avoidance I suppose I can do. I'll be home on Friday, I'll be watching it thereafter as S. recorded it for me.
