Think of another black authority 2pac

The media said that 2pac was killed by a manslaughter, and it was a victim of the cultural conflict between East and West gangs. No one would have thought that the 2pac effect at the beginning was a misunderstanding. He was born in the Black Panther Party family almost out of inertia. "Do what he should", but gradually he found that he was just a part of the mass entertainment media. Rap ​​was just another tool used by the "silent majority" to vent dissatisfaction, but the truth is that everyone Nothing can be changed, 2pac later publicly admitted this: "I am an artist, I am just doing my job." Of course, this was when he was publicly threatened because of his excessive words and actions, which meant to say: " Although I am a public figure, I cannot be responsible for my language, because I earn money by this, and you like me as a bastard.” In the
end, he died of this public image of being " conspired " by the media and the public. Of course, he is not a complete victim. He has also deliberately shaped himself in this way by using the current social psychology.
When the criticized artist Gillian in Yanzhaomen tried to explain to the public that he was "not the kind of person everyone imagined," so everyone was immersed in "pretending to be innocent is a private matter, but you can't sell it." In my anger, in fact, no one has lied to anyone in this. I will give whatever you want, and I have to eat at the same time. This is the win-win benefit in the commodity economy. If you say you are cheating, everyone can only cheat. Everyone.
This is the birth of conspiracy theory, and also the birth of misunderstanding, because once you get serious, you will find that there is a general internal connection between the factors behind a certain event. Together, we have caused it to happen, and even get into it. No one can get rid of the relationship, but often we only attribute the crux of the problem to a direct cause that caused it, that is, a scapegoat, so that other actors in this tragedy can retreat comfortably.
We seem to be rebelling against authority, but in fact we are seeking our own death. This is the characteristic of scapegoats. The "justice" they want will never come, because they went the wrong way at the beginning. Responsibility after the event bears the risk.
Poor people must be hateful. This is the basis for the operation of the system, because when a poor person becomes rich, he will find that he has lost even the right to resent.
This film also reminds me of Salinger no longer publishing novels after "The Catcher in the Rye". In addition to questioning the publisher and even readers’ sincerity in reading his works, he also wants to protect himself from outside influences. Under the prestigious reputation, it is no longer customary to publish a book of things that everyone loves to see.

    Defend the neighborhood. Fight for the neighborhood. Then who defined the neighborhood? Segregation is a mutual construction between the two parties. Even the Italian boss who has been in business with black people for so many years agrees with the word nigger in his heart. Black people still regard Italians and Koreans as aliens and intruders in their hearts, which seems incomprehensible. The sense of playfulness brought about by the oblique close-up shots, the funny and abrupt jump cuts, etc. seem to be Spike's casual fun, just kidding. Let's talk about the use of violence to solve racial discrimination, Zhang Chizhong is actually serious but humorous. Thinking about Race
