She was clearly referencing the fact that—if artists (and perhaps historians) didn’t tell the stories like the one told in Fences—about the every day lives of working class black people—those stories wouldn’t get told. (And often still don’t get told).

I’m pretty sure she was referencing the fact that lives of the characters in Fences—working class black people before civil rights—wouldn’t get told if not through art.

I know I *need* to—but I’m finding it impossible. Not a great time to have compulsivity issues.

Here is something to keep in mind—that I think is very important.

I kind of think it was incorrect of this article to say they are stuck in a “coma”—particularly with POLITICO as their source. (Politico can post some interesting stuff—but also a lot of bullshit—like this). Often Politico’s headlines don’t represent the content of their articles at all—they can be very…

One thing that struck me while I was watching this clip was the way he spoke to her. It was so fucking condescending and sugary. I wondered, “Does he talk this way to white men?”
