Confederate states of America
I’ve read good reviews about Confederate states of America, Its a what if scenario documentary depicting the south winning the civil War, seen through the Eyes of Film Director Spike Lee. I will check this out, and update you later…
Update:
Confederate states of America a reality check?
After viewing this film I thought it was pretty good, however on the drive home I realized the movie is tight a must see, a reality check! The America we live in is not far off, if not worse from the depictions of America if the south had won the civil war.
I just want to make a few points without giving away the film. First and foremost the film shows how Corporations used sambo and coon images to promote products. Similar to what we do today as black people, yes us, see they’re so wise and deceptive the powers that be. They have you promoting your own ignorance.
Another interesting point takes place on a commercial that markets shackles an electronic device that your slave would wear so you can monitor there where a bouts, reminds me of the same tracking devices the Department of Corrections have in use for home incarceration.
According to the New York Times most young black men are in the prison system therefore the good old government has no problem keeping a close watch over all their boys’ nation wide. Funny how things change, but remain the same, as Rahelio say’s there is no (zero) degrees of separation between the Right and the White of this country.
