@jonfmorse @Copy_Culture right. i could see myself talking about the book, giving a quick warning, using the title, and then finding a way to abbreviate after that. but here it seems like silverlake was being intentionally provocative — PolitiTweet.org

@rondtjr everyday i am thankful that even as i went to mostly white schools i had an active life in a black church as well. provided important sanctuary (pun intended) — PolitiTweet.org

anyway, growing up in a majority white part of virginia beach in mid-1990s to mid-2000s was wild — PolitiTweet.org

everyone has the “what the fuck” look. our english teacher, a white woman, said nothing and did nothing, and they continued, with “tom robinson” dropping at least two more “n*gg*rs” before the presentation was over — PolitiTweet.org

kid 1, interviewer: “my first question is ‘what’s your name?” kid 2: “my name is tom robinson, and i’m a n*gg*r.” — PolitiTweet.org

anyway, one kid was being interviewed as the character tom robinson. this kid was white. he and his partner go up to the front of the class to start their interview. i swear i’ll never forget what happened next — PolitiTweet.org

some important context here: i was the only black kid in the class. — PolitiTweet.org

also ken’s brief discussion of huck finn reminded me of an 8th grade class presentation on “to kill a mockingbird.” we were paired off and one student was the interviewer and the other was the interviewee, who had to answer questions as a character from the book — PolitiTweet.org

this is very good but also it is WILD that two prominent advocates and academics wrote a whole essay about how free discourse is under assault because some high school students quietly walked out of a talk https://t.co/viEaBm4N0A — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeduncan the other thing is that we’re talking about this like these are art films but like no, this is hollywood! go back to the 1950s and 60s and you’ll find this stuff in big budget studio pictures. it’s just the way they used to make movies! — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeduncan rated NC-17 for an uninterrupted argument between two adults about their inability to express their interior lives to each other. warning: there are only four cuts and they are a shot/reverse shot. — PolitiTweet.org

@OsitaNwanevu @lionel_trolling I don’t think we have, specifically because it is so complicated. It is a story about race and religion and gender and geography and mass media and the material forces that shape each of these things and are in turn shaped by them. — PolitiTweet.org

@lionel_trolling @AntonJaegermm @SamAdlerBell if i might say, this is why i think it is useful to try to understand this stuff in a specifically american context, since it imposes some discipline when it comes to making comparisons and analogies — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeduncan the long cut, or the extended medium wide with two actors just having an uninterrupted conversation, is something i really miss — PolitiTweet.org

@OsitaNwanevu @lionel_trolling you could make the case, with this frame in mind, that trump represents the attempt of this crumbling model of civic association to reassert itself over a diversifying, more tolerant society — PolitiTweet.org
