We didn’t have enough time to include Education and other issues we deem important. Those will still be released in future videos because it doesn’t matter who is president by then, the issues will STILL be here.

By institutionalizing memory, resisting the onset of oblivion, recalling the memory of tragedy that for long years remained hidden or unrecognized and by assigning its proper place in the human conscience, we respond to our duty to remember. (UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura)
Friday, June 27, was the last day of school that year. And with school out, my middle-school cronies and I looked forward to a summer reprieve from rioting against Italian, Irish, and Jewish public-school kids for being bussed into their neighborhoods. However, the summer months in Brooklyn’s African-American enclaves only escalated rioting between New York’s finest — the New York Police Department — and us. During this tumultuous decade of black rage and white police raids, knee-jerk responses to each other’s slights easily set the stage for a conflagration, creating both instantaneous and momentary fighting alliances in these black communities — across gangs, class, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientations — against police brutality.”

Dear White People trailer.
ROFL. looks hilarious. And of course, cause a lot of black and white theories on where we stand today on “race” and ceaseless chatter on whether these are good characters that represent an ENTIRE freaken community of African-American and black experience in America…Come on.
Reading different blogs and articles, and especially the comments on their youtube trailer, people are still caught up in terms, labeling, etc. to just enjoy something for what it is and NOT what we want or need it to be in our society.
Sigh.
