      I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO

      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...

      i'm not your nigga

      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...

      Every race deserves respect

      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...

      Taken Notes

      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.



      I never thought...

      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...

    Movie quotes

    • James Baldwin: The story of the Negro in America is the story of America, and it is not a pretty story.

    • James Baldwin: Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it has been faced. History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we literally are criminals.

    • James Baldwin: ...a journey is called that because you cannot know what you will discover on the journey, what you will do with what you find, or what you find will do to you.
