eredienSo I was up at 4 am--thanks, insomnia!--and I was thinking:
I need to keep my white privilege in conscious mind more, and be a better ally to people of color, especially my friends. Obviously, from the justifiably angry comments, I am doing it wrong.
I think I have a lot of studying/thinking ahead of me. I don't think that education is going to be the entire fix to the problem, but for me right now, it's a good start.
I am not going to help bring the movie to the Brattle; I don't have either the time or the awareness/ability necessary to take on such a large, complex, multifaceted project as that would be right now--to give the controversy and issues surrounding the film the attention they deserve, and to surround the film with the controversy it should be surrounded with.
