Movie #66 of 2023: I Am Not Your Negro

James Baldwin: "You cannot lynch me and keep me in ghettos without becoming something monstrous yourselves. And furthermore, you give me a terrifying advantage. You never had to look at me. I had to look at you. I know more about you than you know about me."

As a black woman who grew up in North Carolina and has lived all over the United States, I’m very happy that Mr. Blow acknowledges that racism isn't just a problem in the south:

Blow dismissed the northern bias that racism is worse in the south. Its history may be fraught when it comes to anti-Black discrimination, but Black people have experienced racial violence everywhere in the country, not just the south. He made the point that many of the cities where Black men were killed by people were destination cities for many Black individuals in the first great migration out of the south. “Racism is not regional,” Blow said.

More from his interview with The Guardian here.

NGL, some of the most racist motherfuckers I've ever encountered were in NY and San Francisco. That aside, it is so fucking sad to see voter suppression still be an actual thing in 2023. Is this meant to be a democracy?

On another note, a dear friend of mine is the cinematographer for this documentary, and I'm very excited for him!

Jackson reads…

When people ask where I’m from, it’s an honest a toss-up between the between North Carolina (by birth) and New Orleans (I earned my stripes among the locals). Even my accent is a hybrid of the two. But if anything marks my standing as a born…
