On August 5, 1963, Jerry Temaner was a young filmmaker on location of the growing protest movement emerging in Chicago. On the South Side of the city, in a community called Englewood, black families were coming together to boycott the proposed "construction" of a new school on the corner of 73rd & Lowe.

It looks to be clearly him, unless he had a doppelganger running around at the same time and place.

I used to be mostly indifferent toward the Clintons politic-wise, especially Hilary, but their campaign rhetoric this time (although it started back in the '08 election) has really tipped the balance into outright dislike. I'll vote for her if she gets the nomination because she's still better than any of the Republicans, but I really hope Bernie gets it instead.

Hillary is just a very defensive candidate. She spends so much time trying to defend her actions by attempting to discredit her competitors that you never actually hear what her plans are, you just hear a bunch of what they aren't. Now she's got Bill out here again making a buffoon outta himself like we're all still in 1992 or some shit.

Agreed. In the beginning I somewhat got it, she's used to having to be on the defensive, but she hasn't evolved any. She talks more about Bernie than she does herself. It's getting ridiculous. Tearing down another person to make yourself look better rarely works, even in politics. I want to sit her down and say, 'Look, we know what you think about Bernie's ideas and even the Republicans' ideas, but we want to know about your ideas.'

She hasn't evolved any, and whoever is running her campaign needs to have a wake-up call. I honestly feel bad for her supporters because this is not their ideal Hilary that they wanted to run.

Ugh, Bill. Just... ugh.

whether it's him or not, I anticipate seeing it all over the internet that it is definitely him.

on a slightly related note, my mother is watching Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution. I'm glad because she made the analogy between the Panthers and the Klan last week and I was mortified.

Is she one of those people watching it thinking it's going to confirm all her biases and give her a reason to keep her nose in the air only to be accidentally educated?

thankfully, no. I think she's just been misled by years of misinformation and is looking to learn. after my reaction last week she seems to know she was mistaken.

that's good! I know a few people who are watching it for the wrong reasons, I'm kinda looking forward to the shock

I feel like it's him too. The dude isn't perfect but nice to see someone who hasn't just always cared about himself. Hillary tried saying if Bernie is the Dem nom he will be 'vetted, and thing may surface but this seems to be the kind of thing that resurface for him. If he had something bad I figure the Clinton camp would've already dug it up.
