I Am
Not Your Negro 9/10
“This
is not the land of the free, only very unwillingly and sporadically
the land of the brave.” I decided to watch this tonight not knowing
what it was about or anything. I am glad that I did. I did not feel
that same sense of hopeless dread I did after watching 13th. I
couldn't even rate that movie. This movie, to me, is about American
history as much as it is about the history of Black people in
America. James Baldwin even points out that his ancestors did not ask or
want to come to this country. This is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
Don't let that turn you off if you are someone that doesn't enjoy
him. He doesn't distract from this whatsoever.
