History of the Black Movement in America
Today's recommended documentary "I am not your negro" (I am not your negro) was written, directed and narrated by James Baldwin, a representative of the black civil rights movement who was born in 1924. The film clips together films, TV series, historical materials, TV programs, and posters that reflect black issues in the United States. It is a window to understand the black movement in the United States,...

"There Will Be Someone Like That: I Am In The Story"
The documentary "I'm Not Your Nigga" is awesome, I started to take a look and I knew it. Damn, others have invested their souls, and they can't do it without dragging~ Haha, great! A true historical legend that was born in 1968. legend.
The narration of "55 years old" reflects the story of life. journey.
Those who stood up in those times of life and death - taught me what real bullshit is. I've never encountered such real injustice now, it's just fair, hard work, talent and... -

It is not to ridicule the past with the present, or to turn the present back to the past. If it is the former, in fact, the Ferguson incident and the entire Black Lives Matter movement have their own context and contemporary independent demands. Facing the incident itself and the present is not far from talking about Lu Xun talking about the Chinese people and then writing the same tweet. "The Prophet!", "It's been almost a hundred years and it hasn't changed!" More timely? If the old man...

From the earliest exposure to racial discrimination in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the current exploration of black culture, the understanding of black people has become more and more clear. Although I know that the life of black people in the black slave period was dire, I still can't understand why today's United States There is still such serious racism (now it has been transformed from behavior into awareness), and when I watched this documentary at station B, I opened the bullet screen (I...

1. It is a duty not a right. (Sitting down on a segregated bus)
2. If I was Irish, Jewish, Polish, my hero would be your heroes too. And you would mourn and hurt just as much when we lose them 3.
(Sth like, they dont know and they don't want to know) I know more about you than more you know about me.
4. Nothing can be changed until it's faced.
5. We carry our history with us. We are our history.
6. white is a metaphor for power.

Happy Birthday James Baldwin! Racial discrimination is not just history, either. Today's pop culture can still be used for reading like in the film, white superiority is less direct but not more implicit. The normalized ideological hegemony and violence of society has always permeated all aspects of life, but still believe that good cultural criticism and literature can be...

The documentary "I'm Not Your Nigga" isn't expressing anger or crying out humiliation to the world, it's just a literary confession. Baldwin's words and speeches are calm and powerful, Samuel's narration is soulful and sentimental. It makes you have to think: What created the black problem? And people are always used to escaping from reality, never wanting to look back and face history, even if they are so safe and...

【Exhibition at the China Film Archive】The content of the letter is accompanied by a video. The "niggers" of the street movement in the 1960s; the "niggers" who shouted in the 1960s; the "niggers" who were shot in the 1960s; the happy white people and the sad images on the screen from the 1920s to the 1960s Freeze-frame "niggers"; finally: I'm not a nigger. James Baldwin's speech is more persuasive than the lines in the narration. The contemporary picture is...

James Baldwin: To watch the TV screen for any length of time is to learn some really frightening things about the American sense of reality. We are cruelly trapped between what we would like to be and what we actually are. And we cannot possibly become what we would like to be until we are willing to ask ourselves just why the lives we lead on this continent are mainly so empty, so tame, and so ugly. These images are designed not to trouble, but to reassure. They also weaken our ability to deal with the world as it is, ourselves as we are.

James Baldwin: For a very long time, America prospered. This prosperity cost millions of people their lives. Now, not even the people who are the most spectacular recipients of the benefits of this prosperity are able to endure these benefits. They can neither understand them nor do without them. Above all, they cannot imagine the price paid by their victims, or subjects, for this way of life, and so they cannot afford to know why the victims are revolting. This is the formula for a nation or a kingdom decline.
James Baldwin: For no kingdom can maintain itself by force alone. Force does not work the way its advocates think in fact it does. It does not, for example, reveal to the victim the strength of the adversary. On the contrary, it reveals the weakness, even the panic of the adversary. And this revelation invests the victim with passion.

James Baldwin: In this country, for a dangerously long time, there have been two levels of experience. One, to put it cruelly, can be summed up in the images of Gary Cooper and Doris Day, two of the most grotesque appeals to innocence the world has ever seen. And the other, subterranean, indispensable, and denied, can be summed up, let us say, in the tone and in the face of Ray Charles. There has never been any genuine confrontation between these two levels of experience.
