Last time change. Let's wrap withJasnage. Now. Hello, welcome to
a brand new preview episode for BlackBlack Cinema. I'm your host, Jay,
I'm here at my co host Michael. Hey. Al right, guys,
we're back terrenceon tr are off forthis previous episode. However, they
(00:35):
should be back for the next episode, which is episode two forty seven.
Till h That is, of course, the sort of I guess autobiographical telling
of the aftermath of the death ofEmmett Till. I'll read the log line
here, which is in nineteen fiftyfive, after Emmett Till is murdered in
(00:56):
a brutal lynching, his mother Vowserexposed the racism behind the attack while working
to have those involved brought to justice. This is directed by Chinoya Chuck Wu,
stars Danielle Deadwilder, Jalen Hall,and Frankie Fazon. Look, if
you're not familiar with the the murderof Emmett Till, you should be because
(01:21):
that's a really important part of history. But also you should you should understand
a lot more of the details here. I have not seen this movie.
Neither one of us have. Terrence, I know I've seen it, but
I don't know how much they're gonnalike hyper dig into the details, So
I would say if you have,if you don't know all the most nuanced
important details of that story, youshould do yourself a favor and read up
(01:44):
on that before watching till For folkswho do plan on launching it, it
is on Amazon Prime for free forPrime members, so that's an easy community
way to watch it, otherwise rentedor buy it. Look, I gotta
tell you, I'm not exactly Thiswas a movie I was not exactly jazz
(02:05):
to watch. And I normally givepeople a hard time about skipping out on
movies about our stories because they're liketired of watching stuff like that. And
look, I'm guilty of that becauseI didn't really want to watch this because
it's a kid and I just didnot want to see a young jack boy
get murdered. Yeah. Yeah,yeah, how about that? Yeah this,
(02:29):
That's That's the only reason I wasn't. I didn't rush out to see
it, but I am. ButI suggested this movie because I do think
we need to watch it. Yeah, we know the story, but one
I hear the movies is very goodand uh and two you you have to
be reminded of these things. Otherwisethey win. Right, they are trying
(02:53):
to erase our history, and they'retrying desperately to erase it in the classroom.
But you can't. You can't.The only way history gets erased from
art is if we don't like consumeit exactly, because if we don't consume
it, then people won't people won'tfinance to make it. So this is
(03:15):
something that is important. And I'mready to cry, ready to cry,
like this is this is gonna bea this is gonna be an emotional roller
coaster. I'm sure. Yeah.Look, I would urge people. I
know some people don't watch the moviesthat we review. They just listen to
(03:36):
the reviews. But I would urgepeople to support this and watch it and
you know, pay for it ifyou can, or you know, use
you know whatever streaming service and legitimatelygive this your eyes and your attention.
Yeah, I mean, look tillstory is. I mean, he's often
put in His story is often putin line with other, you know,
(03:58):
civil rights leaders. Obviously, hewas not a civil rights leader. He
was just a victim and he wasa child. But his story is incredibly
important just from the aspect of violence, white lies, the weaponization, the
false weaponization of white feminism, theAmerican justice system, how people literally treat
(04:23):
his statue to memorialize his death tothis day, like white conservatives, how
they treated how it just recently wasnamed by Joe Biden as a national monument,
which is a big deal. Ifyou don't know what the difference between
just a monument and a national monumentthat comes with a whole lot of extra
(04:44):
protections and all this other stuff.There is a lot there, and I'm
not sure that will be dug into, but we'll talk about it then on
the episode next week. But EmmettTill is a powerful character in American history,
just in human history in general.So if you don't know about until
for some reason, you should makesure you educate yourself as much as possible.
All right, so you know,speaking of possible injustices. Uh,
(05:12):
this one righted immediately. Our randomtopic, if you could possibly guess,
is about the uh the brawl heardaround the world. The I guess this
is the the start of the BlackAvengers. It was. It was Alabama
endgame is what it was. That'sthat's perfect. It's probably gonna be the
(05:38):
title of this episode. Look thethe this brawl that happened. I mean,
this is all over the news andall over the internet. That happened
in Montgomery, Alabama. Shout outto JTD. Why weren't you there?
You're supposed to be there. Butthis apparently this black security officer or you
(05:58):
know, you know, yeah,just like security doing security at this this
like riverboat bike at a dock,thank you, and he asked these these
white folks to move their boat becausesome larger boat called the Harriet. I
mean, you can't write this matterright, like you can't what is called
(06:18):
the Tubman, you know, likewhat the let's be more on the nose
because this larger boat was docking wherethey were, and they decided like now
we're not going to do that becausewhite and they started attacking this dude.
I guess they got into an argumentaltercation with this guy and they attacked him.
And that's where the video footage starts, but that's not where it ends.
(06:42):
Yeah, So I really need,I really need people to actually watch
the part that you describe, becausethe the filming does start way before the
actual fight. And apparently, likeyou said, this guy told the people,
the people who owned this boat thatthey have to move because a gigantic
boat is needs to dock here,and they refused, So he walked down
(07:05):
and started moving at himself. Andthen one guy came over. They're arguing,
they're very clearly, like you know, at at odds with one another.
Then another came over, and thenand then that's when the one guy
basically sucker punched the dock worker.And uh, you know I saw that,
(07:31):
and I and you see then yousee more white people swarm on him.
You see you end up seeing threewhite dudes beating on this one black
man and a white woman coming overto kick him while he's down. And
that was it. That was it, because we were and it was it
(07:54):
was the most beautiful side I've everseen. Because look, Nigga's get on
my nerves too. But I butif I see somebody in that kind of
trouble, I feel like I gotto help. Now. I feel like
you can't just let a black manget beat up by like four or five.
You can't, right, I don'tknow the contacts. I don't need
to know the contact, right,Like, that's ridiculous. And and look,
(08:16):
if a bunch of white people wereswimming on a black person. It's
the white people's fault. It is. I don't care what the guy it's
forty like, knock it off,right, yeah, man, look it
was. It was. It waswonderful, yo. And it it proves
two things that one thing that I'vesaid before and is that white people don't
(08:43):
care about each other, right,but we do. We care about one
another, which is why this scenehappened. Nobody knew that guy, but
we all have a common ancestry,especially in that part of the country specifically,
and we're just like, no,we're not gonna take it. We're
not gonna take it. And no, look it is. It is.
(09:07):
It is a perfect example of evenwhen we are at odds with each other,
right, like like you know,like black men, black women,
black people to other black people,like like we all got our ship and
everybody trying to get through the day. I get it, you clash on
certain shit obviously. Well, whenthe signal goes up, when a black
(09:28):
man throws his hat into the air, goes up like you gotta answer the
car, you know, like it'sjust it's I saw shout out to Rod
from the Black auctivity. Was justlike he threw up the hat signal,
Like right, it was like thefat signal, and it worked. Like
black people are like, wait,what the fuck is going on? Like
nah, Like absolutely not. It'sjust so funny to me because like I'm
(09:50):
you know, there's a lot ofserious aspects of this, and there's a
lot of really funny aspects and we'llget to all of it, but like,
it just immediately reminded me of thatTom Sigura joke where he's like he
was in a park and he sawlike a white guy call a black guy
like a nigger, and he waslike, wait, it's like, what
the fuck is happening? And thenanother black guy came out of the bushes
(10:11):
like out of nowhere, was like, now I'm ready to fight, like
because they didn't. They just werelike nah, at our core, we
are brothers, Like I'm not goingto allow you to do that. And
he was like if I see awhite guy getting beat up, he was
like, I don't give a fuckabout him, like that guy. White
people don't care about each other,Like they don't, but they don't have
to, right because society is notit is. And here's a serious part
(10:31):
of that, Like society is notAmerican society is not set up for a
sort of collective benefit or excuse me, and like an individualized like automatic come
together because we're white outside of liketo dominate other people, right, like
they don't have. We talked aboutthis on the Small Acts episode. White
(10:56):
people don't get the collective ever vescenceright, like of success and things like
that of like another white person makingbecause they're just they're so individualized. But
because of how racism works in thisin the US, they purposely lump us
all together. Like if a blackguy does something bad, all black people
do it, right. If ablack woman does something, all black women
are like this, or all blackpeople are like this. So when that
(11:18):
happens, that's then you know,that's the obvious negative side. But the
problem is you have solidified us togetherwhen ship goes down because like we just
we don't accept that we're all individuals. You can't. And that's that's part
of the reason. Like I getreally upset when we talk about like politics
and stuff like that when I hearblack people like trying to separate themselves from
other black people's experience, I'm like, no, don't do that, because
(11:41):
that is that is a white tacticright, like it's too you can only
beat us by breaking us all apart. I mean, because slavery go all
the way back. What was thenumber one thing they did? They broke
up families right like and fundamentally ifyou are allowed to divide and conquer like
that. It's a turn of phrasefor a reason. But when one black
(12:03):
guy is up against four black peopleor four white people, like he's gonna
lose, He's likely gonna lose.But other black people are like not today,
absolutely not. I'm gonna swim acrossthe river to join this fire,
right like, what the fuck?And there's a reason, there's a reason
why the the unofficial international symbol forBlack pride is a fist, right,
(12:28):
it's everybody coming together, that's right, right, and and what and what's
the thing that white people co optedthe okay sign? A bunch of individuals
right, a bunch of nah,not us right? And and look,
man, it was it was Ifelt this as a pride, you know.
(12:50):
And I don't know if I don'tknow that makes me a bad person,
but like I really did, likelike I can't like, I can't
like I can't like just afy thatto my children and that's not but this
page what like maybe maybe what doyou what do you do? What do
you do? What do you do? So? Yeah, man, this
(13:16):
this was wild and uh, youknow, all the memes and stuff are
out and then that takes no time. Right, they found these people,
they had their faith, they hadpictures of them before the fight, like
before before the fight went down.I'm like, god, damn the but
and look, you know, Iknow, I know a lot of people
(13:37):
got on us about a lot ofpeople had some opinions about all that preview
episode when we talked about ice Cube. But look, man, uh we
were hard on We were critical ofice Cube because black people don't want to
see black people getting taken advantage ofby white people. We don't that we
don't. And faith ice Cube famouslywas taking advantage of by white people for
(14:01):
his talent, screwing him out ofmoney and shit like that, right,
and he fought and he fought back, right and and we don't, we
don't. I refuse to see thatat this point in my life, I
refuse to accept that, you know, well, this person is just going
to do this and that like noah, yo, if I see that,
I think you mayn't taken advantage ofI gotta say something if I see you
(14:26):
getting banked, getting jumped right,Like, no, Yo, I gotta
say something. I gotta do something. I gotta learn how to swim is
what I need to do. Yeah, nigga, you you'd been just go
get him yelling from the other sideof the Give me a rock that's fucked
up. This is your impetus forlearning how to swin forty some odd years
(14:52):
old. Is just in case niggaon the other side of the river getting
banked. You gotta, we needyou. Yeah, now you gotta.
I gotta. I gotta work onmy cardio too, because like swimming in
full clothes and he got shoes away, exhausted, but he was sixteen,
got all he got, all energyin the world. He was six and
was ready to fight im mediate.I'm like, yo, I need a
(15:13):
break like her light, drink likeorange slices before I get involved. Like
god, damn, that's awesome.Look I saw. I saw a moment
which will will live in infamy forme. Like the dude swimming across the
river. He's been dubbed aquamane.I appreciate that. I love that,
meaning that's very funny to me.But I don't think enough attention is being
(15:37):
brought to the black woman who helpeda white woman who got pushed in the
river. She helped her out andthen started beating her ass like I want
you to drown, but you gonnaget anyway. I'm like, we have
died, but you're gonna still catchthese hands like not gonna you gonna pay
for it. Though, you kickedthat man while it was down. No,
that's a wild move, Like no, you good, you good?
(16:00):
Ye, I don't knock him backin the fight. That's wow, that's
a wild move. But like likeI saw, you know, people who
are weirdly on the side of thewhite gang of assholes started yo, relaxed,
Like that's crazy to me. Likethey were like, well, the
(16:21):
one guy hit the other lady inthe head was a chair. That was
really messed up. I'm like,yo, she was already down. You
know what. You're right, thatwas kind of fucked up. It was
fine, Yeah, that's what that'swhy. That's why he put him in
handcuffs. Okay, you gotta goto jail for that. It's not w
W relax what look, I gotno problem but him busting off on that
one dude that he hit. Thatwas Finn's totally like, look, I
(16:45):
might not even have a problem withhim hitting a woman with the chair,
but she was down right, he'sright, even you you see rules,
you know, if you got aneed, dawn hit the guy like,
come on, like relax, Likeit was funny because I saw like some
some I assume conservative white guy waslike, no one's talking about you know
this, you know, nobody's talkingabout this guy hitting with I'm like,
(17:06):
yo, that's what everyone's talking about. Like everyone's talking about that. Like
I don't think anybody was like yeah, that seems fair. Like people are
like that's funny. It's fucked up, like you shouldn't have hit it in
the head, like she's down,like she was sitting, Like she wasn't
even like she fell down, shewas sitting, dude. Look even even
a commentator on the thing, butoh he's getting a fella me for that.
(17:29):
That was a little much. Thatwas a little much, But like,
look, I ain't got no problemyou're swinging a chair. Look me
me myself personally, I feel asthough if I had to uh place myself
in that situation, like, ifif I were one of the people in
that that on that dock, Iwould be the guy in the white pants
with the black and white striped shirt, the white hat, right, because
(17:51):
I like his mentality. Right,you go for the jugular. You're trying
to end this ship, like,don't you got yea, Yeah, I'm
not trying to fight for an hour, right, No, I'm not.
I'm not doing hammer fists and shiit. No, I'm choking. I'm I'm
fish hooking. I'm gouging. Everythingthat's illegal in UFC is legal on the
dock. Yeah, that's what that'swhat I'm ain't no rules, ain't no
(18:15):
rules because if you get, ifyou get, if you push me to
that point, like I'm very,I'm very, I'm not like Terrence,
right, Terrence will go off ina second. I remember we were working
at game Stop one day. Therewas a fighting fighting foot locker and this
nigga was like, yo, Ikind of want to go over the fight
because he was he was ready togo. He was ready contact. He
(18:37):
don't need he'll need no contract,right, but nah nah, this was
all the contact I need. Itwas black versus white, and it was
it was it was black versus white, versus white versus white versus white,
and and that ain't no, no, it's not cool. Well, and
you know it's really funny, likeapparently white people always like there's gonna be
(19:00):
a race war. It's gonna bea race war, like you guys are
ready for it. Apparently y'all notready for it. Because if it comes
down to like actual fighting, nah, y'all gonn. You ain't got your
guns. That's why they cleaning themguns like that. That's why they make
guns the personality because can't none themfight. Yo. Look look looks just
(19:21):
like that goes for and that goesfor all you other people with guns too.
Let's kid, y'all can't fight.I mean, I mean it is
soo. It is like if youmake if you make like like guns your
identity. I ain't got no problemwith guns, man, I ain't got
no problem. I think guns arefucking cool as shit, and I love
shooting guns, but it's not myidentity. And if it makes it your
(19:44):
identity, yo, that's you.You can't fight, yo. You probably
can't even fight. You can't youcan't even nothing, no, like that's
it's it's sad if you make thatyour identity. No, yo, I'm
watching this fight again. No,this is this is this is fucking great.
This is fucking great. And inthe commentary and all that I love
(20:06):
I love it. Look, man, I'm not I'm not here to advocate
violence, but like you gotta,you gotta meet violence with violence sometimes joy
like this is not like the slap, right, because I was, I
was pretty adamant, Like I didnot think that was cool. That was
somebody telling a joke and somebody justwalking on stage and hitting someone. This
(20:27):
dude was attacked. Look, look, I look, I'm all for non
violence. I'm actually a pretty decentadvocate for it. But you're not gonna
just swing on me, yo,Like, nay, that's when that's when
ship ends. Like you take aswing at me, the door is now
officially open. You're gonna get yourass kicked. Yeah, it ain't turned
(20:48):
no problem with Nah, it ain't. It ain't turn into the cheek and
and and you talk about the slap. Look, if a white person would
to do that took a fight,Oh no, there's no way it would
have responded in the same way.Nope, right, he wouldn't. He
wouldn't have just sat there and tookit. It'd been an all out brow
(21:11):
Yeah. No. But here's thething. I don't even think a white
person would do that because I feelbecause I feel like they'd be like,
this feels like a mistake. It'slike up on the stage, this feels
like a huge mistake, and they'dbe right, like, you don't like
y'all need that, like, don'tdo that. But no, I just
no like violence. Look, Ithink you know, there is a time
(21:33):
and place for everything. And Ithink somebody telling you, hey, you
need to move your boat because theyare the like quite literally, like law
enforcement or whatever there's telling you moveyour boat. Yea, Like they're not
doing anything to you, just likehurting you. They're not breaking your civil
rights. They're just moving your boat. They're just telling you move your boat.
You didn't want to do it becauseyou didn't want to do it.
Because you didn't want to do it. Yeah, you didn't have a legitimate
(21:56):
reason. Right, Oh it's broken, sorry I can't move it. Like,
nah, you just didn't want todo it because you didn't want to
listen to this guy, right,and then you sucker punched him, right,
Like if you like violence, yeah, if you start violence, like
it's it's not all bets off atthat point, Like but look I was,
(22:19):
I was. I mean my heartgrew three sizes today and and look
we have our differences, but it'snot it's it's a wonderful feeling to see
us kind of coming together when somebodyis fucking with us, man, because
we've been doing that all our lives, Joe, We've been for black people,
(22:42):
been doing it for generations, whichis real fucking sad, and I'm
glad to see that. Like evenin this new like world that we live
in where like everything you say anddo is is you know, wrong or
(23:03):
questioned or it's still still we cancome together, uh and save a black
person from possibly being murdered. Yo, Like yeah, that's a that's a
very good point because like that's nottalked to all. They just beating him
up, Like Noah, they couldhave killed that guy. No, they
could have killed that man. Theycould have killed that man. It was
four grown ass men, uh fightingone dude who was damn and they could
(23:30):
and he was right about what.It could have killed him, Yo,
it could have killed him. Andyeah, man, I just it was
it was it was, it wasa good feeling, like like I'm transfixed
by this, Like I love Ilove it. I love it. Yeah,
Like I think they're they're going tobe people who try to make this
into like well, you know,you shouldn't condone violence. And how would
(23:52):
you feel if it was four blackdudes, you know, beating shot out
of one white guy one. Iwouldn't be cool with that, Like that's
it would be wrong. It wouldbe done if somebody has sucked up,
like it's just it's not sucked up, right, that being said, you
cannot ignore the historical context of this. Apparently where that doc was or is
is also a place where slaves werebrought in in this country. Right,
(24:15):
it doesn't mean right, Like youknow, there is historical context to put
that in. And like I sawsomebody I think his name is Consciously on
social media. He's a very verysmart guy, like super educated dude.
I like him a lie. He'sreally funny as well. But you know
he was just talking about like listen, you know you hear people say like
(24:36):
we're not our ancestors or you know, you know that type of language.
And we talked about this on theshow too. It's like you don't say
that because like you're you're implying thatlike our ancestors were like docile or some
shit, like they were not,Like people did not go into slavery.
Just like happy go Lucky about thatship. People fought and died and tried
their best to stop that ship.They were you know, they were outgunned
(24:59):
quite literally, right. We talkedabout that on the Antebellum episode. Ironically,
I just listened to that episode againtoday, and yeah, that was
a terrible movie. And we uhand yeah, we all made that exact
same point, like, oh,I'm not my ancestors, I would do
this. You don't know what youwould have done back then, but I
(25:22):
know what I'm gonna do now.And and now I'm not gonna take this
ship like you can't. You gotI gotta you gotta do something. You
know, you gotta do something.Yeah you do, you quite you quite
literally do. And I am justI am just so happy to watch us
refuse to just go quietly right likenow, you're you're just not gonna do
(25:47):
that, and we just stand by. This is not gonna happen. This
is twenty twenty three. You're notjust gonna We're not just gonna be like,
well, just record it, like, nah, you're about to beat
get the shit kicked out of youin HD and it's gonna be good,
worrious. And you deserved it.You deserved it. And at the end
of the day, those black peopledidn't just equal their power those white people.
They beat the shit out of thosewhite guys too, and those guys
(26:10):
fucking deserved it. You know,absolutely started started running once the portals open
and about this was hilarious. That'sfucking funny as shit. Man. It's
like, look, man, it'sagain. If you you know this is
(26:32):
this is one of those things.It's like, if you if you push
us all the way into this ideathat we are always together, we are
always together, we are always together, you're gonna have a hell of a
time ripping us apart. And youmay get those like little moments where it's
like, oh, well maybe I'mgonna do this, I'm gonna do that.
It's different than the vast majority ofus. That's fine, that happens.
(26:52):
We are individuals, right, weare not a monolith. But I
got I gotta wonder, I gottawonder. I'll wait and see. Over
the next couple of days. Whatdo you black conservatives say about this?
That's what I'm fascinated about, becauseit'd be it'd be interesting to hear,
right, mister, like, allthese are freedom, love and fight for
freedom. All right, here's yourbrother here's your brothers right here, they're
(27:15):
right here getting unnecessarily attacked, right, And it's irrefutable. It's irrefutable who
started this fight? Yeah, there'sno argument, right, there's like and
if you can't, if you,if you precious snowflakes, can't can't take
a couple of of of words.You gotta you gotta you can you answer?
(27:37):
You answer words with fists like who'sthe snowflake? Now? You know
what I mean? Like they've alwaysbeen it's always been projection. It's always
been projection. That's why, that'swhy, that's why the word cook is
in the lexicon right now. Nobodyused that word. People didn't know what
the fuck that word meant until theystarted using it. And it's projection though,
(28:00):
And it's okay, all right,all right, look shout out,

a boxing event. I'm ready togo. Let's fucking knock these motherfuckers.
I love it, man, Ido. I do. And it's it's
a it's a perfect microcosm for whathappens, Like how how linked up we
truly are through all the bullshit,cutting through all the all the narrative and
(29:11):
everything else, how linked up arewe truly? Turns out still pretty linked
up? And that's that's that's goodnews, man, that's really good news
because the worst, the worst situationcould have been a crowd of black people
just watching this black maggot beat andbe like, I'm getting into right,
right, And then I would Iwould have been there are many issues I
(29:32):
would have been concerned about regarding that, But the worst part of that would
have been we're becoming them, andwe're becoming overly individualized in the society that
does not give a fuck about uscollectively. Right, So that's a dangerous
fucking situation to be like, whydon't we all go our own way?
No, they'll pick you off oneby one. Right, that's the that's
(29:53):
the that's the motorcyp Randi of blackconservatives. Yes, for some reason,
for some reason, they don't havethe they don't feel like they have the
community or they don't have the community, uh to kind of fall back on,
even though they probably did growing up, which is why they are where
they are today. And they've andand it's very individualized. Yo. We
(30:17):
live in a society, you know, Like I hate to quote that fucking
line, but we we live ina society and we have to help each
other because we gotta live here.Yo. Like it's twenty twenty three.
Yeah, we gotta live here.I just and we ain't going nowhere.
I ain't going nowhere. You ain'tget the funk out of here. You
move. We're not you. Youdid, but like you, we don't
(30:41):
have brawls down here where Fine.I had a margarita last night. I
was like, Oh, it's gettingcrazy up there. Wow, you're all
right, look at average ass Americanswatching the ship on my hospital and that
that's crazy. No, I'm gonnabe all right. You put up the
(31:06):
fucking Facebook flag, survived Alabama.Like I'm good, I'm good as wild
man. But now look, man, I'm I'm happy to see black people.
We are still connected in a ina fundamental way that that while we
are trying to describe it, ifyou are not black, you don't understand
it. Like you just couldn't possiblyunity unless you're unless you're another minority,
because other minorities get they get likeif if this was like like if this
(31:33):
was yeah, if this was likefour white dudes and like this beating up
a Mexican dude, same out good, same outcome. Dudes with the road
up and beat the shit out ofthem because they see themselves as a collective
like they do. So yeah,that was fun to watch. I probably
won't watch it again eight times already. Need I do need the one thing
(31:56):
I'll say before we go, andand I take this part very seriously.
We live in an age of youknow, we we are living in the
future, so to speak. I'mgonna need an HDR version of this,
like somebody has to have sixty friendsper second version. Come on, Yeah,
I need people. I need peopleto really know how to use their
(32:17):
phones. Landscape, you've got powerup, You've got a powerful filmmaking tool
here. I need you to turnit on to sixty frames per second.
And I, for the love offucking God, please record on landscape and
not portrait. I want to watchthis ship on my sixty five minutes TV
(32:38):
right here, and I can't becausefucking uh forty of those inches will be
wasted because it's in fucking portrait.O. This is our biggest crrect.
This is if nothing else has beenlearned, just turn your phone, make
sure it's sixty sixty per second.That's it. That's it, guys.
(33:00):
We could do wonders. We coulddo wonders. Our society really good,

(33:24):
but yeah yeah yeah, thank thankthank
Last time change. Let's wrap withJasnage. Now. Hello, welcome to
a brand new preview episode for BlackBlack Cinema. I'm your host, Jay,
I'm here at my co host Michael. Hey. Al right, guys,
we're back terrenceon tr are off forthis previous episode. However, they
(00:35):
should be back for the next episode, which is episode two forty seven.
Till h That is, of course, the sort of I guess autobiographical telling
of the aftermath of the death ofEmmett Till. I'll read the log line
here, which is in nineteen fiftyfive, after Emmett Till is murdered in
(00:56):
a brutal lynching, his mother Vowserexposed the racism behind the attack while working
to have those involved brought to justice. This is directed by Chinoya Chuck Wu,
stars Danielle Deadwilder, Jalen Hall,and Frankie Fazon. Look, if
you're not familiar with the the murderof Emmett Till, you should be because
(01:21):
that's a really important part of history. But also you should you should understand
a lot more of the details here. I have not seen this movie.
Neither one of us have. Terrence, I know I've seen it, but
I don't know how much they're gonnalike hyper dig into the details, So
I would say if you have,if you don't know all the most nuanced
important details of that story, youshould do yourself a favor and read up
(01:44):
on that before watching till For folkswho do plan on launching it, it
is on Amazon Prime for free forPrime members, so that's an easy community
way to watch it, otherwise rentedor buy it. Look, I gotta
tell you, I'm not exactly Thiswas a movie I was not exactly jazz
(02:05):
to watch. And I normally givepeople a hard time about skipping out on
movies about our stories because they're liketired of watching stuff like that. And
look, I'm guilty of that becauseI didn't really want to watch this because
it's a kid and I just didnot want to see a young jack boy
get murdered. Yeah. Yeah,yeah, how about that? Yeah this,
(02:29):
That's That's the only reason I wasn't. I didn't rush out to see
it, but I am. ButI suggested this movie because I do think
we need to watch it. Yeah, we know the story, but one
I hear the movies is very goodand uh and two you you have to
be reminded of these things. Otherwisethey win. Right, they are trying
(02:53):
to erase our history, and they'retrying desperately to erase it in the classroom.
But you can't. You can't.The only way history gets erased from
art is if we don't like consumeit exactly, because if we don't consume
it, then people won't people won'tfinance to make it. So this is
(03:15):
something that is important. And I'mready to cry, ready to cry,
like this is this is gonna bea this is gonna be an emotional roller
coaster. I'm sure. Yeah.Look, I would urge people. I
know some people don't watch the moviesthat we review. They just listen to
(03:36):
the reviews. But I would urgepeople to support this and watch it and
you know, pay for it ifyou can, or you know, use
you know whatever streaming service and legitimatelygive this your eyes and your attention.
Yeah, I mean, look tillstory is. I mean, he's often
put in His story is often putin line with other, you know,
(03:58):
civil rights leaders. Obviously, hewas not a civil rights leader. He
was just a victim and he wasa child. But his story is incredibly
important just from the aspect of violence, white lies, the weaponization, the
false weaponization of white feminism, theAmerican justice system, how people literally treat
(04:23):
his statue to memorialize his death tothis day, like white conservatives, how
they treated how it just recently wasnamed by Joe Biden as a national monument,
which is a big deal. Ifyou don't know what the difference between
just a monument and a national monumentthat comes with a whole lot of extra
(04:44):
protections and all this other stuff.There is a lot there, and I'm
not sure that will be dug into, but we'll talk about it then on
the episode next week. But EmmettTill is a powerful character in American history,
just in human history in general.So if you don't know about until
for some reason, you should makesure you educate yourself as much as possible.
All right, so you know,speaking of possible injustices. Uh,
(05:12):
this one righted immediately. Our randomtopic, if you could possibly guess,
is about the uh the brawl heardaround the world. The I guess this
is the the start of the BlackAvengers. It was. It was Alabama
endgame is what it was. That'sthat's perfect. It's probably gonna be the
(05:38):
title of this episode. Look thethe this brawl that happened. I mean,
this is all over the news andall over the internet. That happened
in Montgomery, Alabama. Shout outto JTD. Why weren't you there?
You're supposed to be there. Butthis apparently this black security officer or you
(05:58):
know, you know, yeah,just like security doing security at this this
like riverboat bike at a dock,thank you, and he asked these these
white folks to move their boat becausesome larger boat called the Harriet. I
mean, you can't write this matterright, like you can't what is called
(06:18):
the Tubman, you know, likewhat the let's be more on the nose
because this larger boat was docking wherethey were, and they decided like now
we're not going to do that becausewhite and they started attacking this dude.
I guess they got into an argumentaltercation with this guy and they attacked him.
And that's where the video footage starts, but that's not where it ends.
(06:42):
Yeah, So I really need,I really need people to actually watch
the part that you describe, becausethe the filming does start way before the
actual fight. And apparently, likeyou said, this guy told the people,
the people who owned this boat thatthey have to move because a gigantic
boat is needs to dock here,and they refused, So he walked down
(07:05):
and started moving at himself. Andthen one guy came over. They're arguing,
they're very clearly, like you know, at at odds with one another.
Then another came over, and thenand then that's when the one guy
basically sucker punched the dock worker.And uh, you know I saw that,
(07:31):
and I and you see then yousee more white people swarm on him.
You see you end up seeing threewhite dudes beating on this one black
man and a white woman coming overto kick him while he's down. And
that was it. That was it, because we were and it was it
(07:54):
was the most beautiful side I've everseen. Because look, Nigga's get on
my nerves too. But I butif I see somebody in that kind of
trouble, I feel like I gotto help. Now. I feel like
you can't just let a black manget beat up by like four or five.
You can't, right, I don'tknow the contacts. I don't need
to know the contact, right,Like, that's ridiculous. And and look,
(08:16):
if a bunch of white people wereswimming on a black person. It's
the white people's fault. It is. I don't care what the guy it's
forty like, knock it off,right, yeah, man, look it
was. It was. It waswonderful, yo. And it it proves
two things that one thing that I'vesaid before and is that white people don't
(08:43):
care about each other, right,but we do. We care about one
another, which is why this scenehappened. Nobody knew that guy, but
we all have a common ancestry,especially in that part of the country specifically,
and we're just like, no,we're not gonna take it. We're
not gonna take it. And no, look it is. It is.
(09:07):
It is a perfect example of evenwhen we are at odds with each other,
right, like like you know,like black men, black women,
black people to other black people,like like we all got our ship and
everybody trying to get through the day. I get it, you clash on
certain shit obviously. Well, whenthe signal goes up, when a black
(09:28):
man throws his hat into the air, goes up like you gotta answer the
car, you know, like it'sjust it's I saw shout out to Rod
from the Black auctivity. Was justlike he threw up the hat signal,
Like right, it was like thefat signal, and it worked. Like
black people are like, wait,what the fuck is going on? Like
nah, Like absolutely not. It'sjust so funny to me because like I'm
(09:50):
you know, there's a lot ofserious aspects of this, and there's a
lot of really funny aspects and we'llget to all of it, but like,
it just immediately reminded me of thatTom Sigura joke where he's like he
was in a park and he sawlike a white guy call a black guy
like a nigger, and he waslike, wait, it's like, what
the fuck is happening? And thenanother black guy came out of the bushes
(10:11):
like out of nowhere, was like, now I'm ready to fight, like
because they didn't. They just werelike nah, at our core, we
are brothers, Like I'm not goingto allow you to do that. And
he was like if I see awhite guy getting beat up, he was
like, I don't give a fuckabout him, like that guy. White
people don't care about each other,Like they don't, but they don't have
to, right because society is notit is. And here's a serious part
(10:31):
of that, Like society is notAmerican society is not set up for a
sort of collective benefit or excuse me, and like an individualized like automatic come
together because we're white outside of liketo dominate other people, right, like
they don't have. We talked aboutthis on the Small Acts episode. White
(10:56):
people don't get the collective ever vescenceright, like of success and things like
that of like another white person makingbecause they're just they're so individualized. But
because of how racism works in thisin the US, they purposely lump us
all together. Like if a blackguy does something bad, all black people
do it, right. If ablack woman does something, all black women
are like this, or all blackpeople are like this. So when that
(11:18):
happens, that's then you know,that's the obvious negative side. But the
problem is you have solidified us togetherwhen ship goes down because like we just
we don't accept that we're all individuals. You can't. And that's that's part
of the reason. Like I getreally upset when we talk about like politics
and stuff like that when I hearblack people like trying to separate themselves from
other black people's experience, I'm like, no, don't do that, because
(11:41):
that is that is a white tacticright, like it's too you can only
beat us by breaking us all apart. I mean, because slavery go all
the way back. What was thenumber one thing they did? They broke
up families right like and fundamentally ifyou are allowed to divide and conquer like
that. It's a turn of phrasefor a reason. But when one black
(12:03):
guy is up against four black peopleor four white people, like he's gonna
lose, He's likely gonna lose.But other black people are like not today,
absolutely not. I'm gonna swim acrossthe river to join this fire,
right like, what the fuck?And there's a reason, there's a reason
why the the unofficial international symbol forBlack pride is a fist, right,
(12:28):
it's everybody coming together, that's right, right, and and what and what's
the thing that white people co optedthe okay sign? A bunch of individuals
right, a bunch of nah,not us right? And and look,
man, it was it was Ifelt this as a pride, you know.
(12:50):
And I don't know if I don'tknow that makes me a bad person,
but like I really did, likelike I can't like, I can't
like I can't like just afy thatto my children and that's not but this
page what like maybe maybe what doyou what do you do? What do
you do? What do you do? So? Yeah, man, this
(13:16):
this was wild and uh, youknow, all the memes and stuff are
out and then that takes no time. Right, they found these people,
they had their faith, they hadpictures of them before the fight, like
before before the fight went down.I'm like, god, damn the but
and look, you know, Iknow, I know a lot of people
(13:37):
got on us about a lot ofpeople had some opinions about all that preview
episode when we talked about ice Cube. But look, man, uh we
were hard on We were critical ofice Cube because black people don't want to
see black people getting taken advantage ofby white people. We don't that we
don't. And faith ice Cube famouslywas taking advantage of by white people for
(14:01):
his talent, screwing him out ofmoney and shit like that, right,
and he fought and he fought back, right and and we don't, we
don't. I refuse to see thatat this point in my life, I
refuse to accept that, you know, well, this person is just going
to do this and that like noah, yo, if I see that,
I think you mayn't taken advantage ofI gotta say something if I see you
(14:26):
getting banked, getting jumped right,Like, no, Yo, I gotta
say something. I gotta do something. I gotta learn how to swim is
what I need to do. Yeah, nigga, you you'd been just go
get him yelling from the other sideof the Give me a rock that's fucked
up. This is your impetus forlearning how to swin forty some odd years
(14:52):
old. Is just in case niggaon the other side of the river getting
banked. You gotta, we needyou. Yeah, now you gotta.
I gotta. I gotta work onmy cardio too, because like swimming in
full clothes and he got shoes away, exhausted, but he was sixteen,
got all he got, all energyin the world. He was six and
was ready to fight im mediate.I'm like, yo, I need a
(15:13):
break like her light, drink likeorange slices before I get involved. Like
god, damn, that's awesome.Look I saw. I saw a moment
which will will live in infamy forme. Like the dude swimming across the
river. He's been dubbed aquamane.I appreciate that. I love that,
meaning that's very funny to me.But I don't think enough attention is being
(15:37):
brought to the black woman who helpeda white woman who got pushed in the
river. She helped her out andthen started beating her ass like I want
you to drown, but you gonnaget anyway. I'm like, we have
died, but you're gonna still catchthese hands like not gonna you gonna pay
for it. Though, you kickedthat man while it was down. No,
that's a wild move, Like no, you good, you good?
(16:00):
Ye, I don't knock him backin the fight. That's wow, that's
a wild move. But like likeI saw, you know, people who
are weirdly on the side of thewhite gang of assholes started yo, relaxed,
Like that's crazy to me. Likethey were like, well, the
(16:21):
one guy hit the other lady inthe head was a chair. That was
really messed up. I'm like,yo, she was already down. You
know what. You're right, thatwas kind of fucked up. It was
fine, Yeah, that's what that'swhy. That's why he put him in
handcuffs. Okay, you gotta goto jail for that. It's not w
W relax what look, I gotno problem but him busting off on that
one dude that he hit. Thatwas Finn's totally like, look, I
(16:45):
might not even have a problem withhim hitting a woman with the chair,
but she was down right, he'sright, even you you see rules,
you know, if you got aneed, dawn hit the guy like,
come on, like relax, Likeit was funny because I saw like some
some I assume conservative white guy waslike, no one's talking about you know
this, you know, nobody's talkingabout this guy hitting with I'm like,
(17:06):
yo, that's what everyone's talking about. Like everyone's talking about that. Like
I don't think anybody was like yeah, that seems fair. Like people are
like that's funny. It's fucked up, like you shouldn't have hit it in
the head, like she's down,like she was sitting, Like she wasn't
even like she fell down, shewas sitting, dude. Look even even
a commentator on the thing, butoh he's getting a fella me for that.
(17:29):
That was a little much. Thatwas a little much, But like,
look, I ain't got no problemyou're swinging a chair. Look me
me myself personally, I feel asthough if I had to uh place myself
in that situation, like, ifif I were one of the people in
that that on that dock, Iwould be the guy in the white pants
with the black and white striped shirt, the white hat, right, because
(17:51):
I like his mentality. Right,you go for the jugular. You're trying
to end this ship, like,don't you got yea, Yeah, I'm
not trying to fight for an hour, right, No, I'm not.
I'm not doing hammer fists and shiit. No, I'm choking. I'm I'm
fish hooking. I'm gouging. Everythingthat's illegal in UFC is legal on the
dock. Yeah, that's what that'swhat I'm ain't no rules, ain't no
(18:15):
rules because if you get, ifyou get, if you push me to
that point, like I'm very,I'm very, I'm not like Terrence,
right, Terrence will go off ina second. I remember we were working
at game Stop one day. Therewas a fighting fighting foot locker and this
nigga was like, yo, Ikind of want to go over the fight
because he was he was ready togo. He was ready contact. He
(18:37):
don't need he'll need no contract,right, but nah nah, this was
all the contact I need. Itwas black versus white, and it was
it was it was black versus white, versus white versus white versus white,
and and that ain't no, no, it's not cool. Well, and
you know it's really funny, likeapparently white people always like there's gonna be
(19:00):
a race war. It's gonna bea race war, like you guys are
ready for it. Apparently y'all notready for it. Because if it comes
down to like actual fighting, nah, y'all gonn. You ain't got your
guns. That's why they cleaning themguns like that. That's why they make
guns the personality because can't none themfight. Yo. Look look looks just
(19:21):
like that goes for and that goesfor all you other people with guns too.
Let's kid, y'all can't fight.I mean, I mean it is
soo. It is like if youmake if you make like like guns your
identity. I ain't got no problemwith guns, man, I ain't got
no problem. I think guns arefucking cool as shit, and I love
shooting guns, but it's not myidentity. And if it makes it your
(19:44):
identity, yo, that's you.You can't fight, yo. You probably
can't even fight. You can't youcan't even nothing, no, like that's
it's it's sad if you make thatyour identity. No, yo, I'm
watching this fight again. No,this is this is this is fucking great.
This is fucking great. And inthe commentary and all that I love
(20:06):
I love it. Look, man, I'm not I'm not here to advocate
violence, but like you gotta,you gotta meet violence with violence sometimes joy
like this is not like the slap, right, because I was, I
was pretty adamant, Like I didnot think that was cool. That was
somebody telling a joke and somebody justwalking on stage and hitting someone. This
(20:27):
dude was attacked. Look, look, I look, I'm all for non
violence. I'm actually a pretty decentadvocate for it. But you're not gonna
just swing on me, yo,Like, nay, that's when that's when
ship ends. Like you take aswing at me, the door is now
officially open. You're gonna get yourass kicked. Yeah, it ain't turned
(20:48):
no problem with Nah, it ain't. It ain't turn into the cheek and
and and you talk about the slap. Look, if a white person would
to do that took a fight,Oh no, there's no way it would
have responded in the same way.Nope, right, he wouldn't. He
wouldn't have just sat there and tookit. It'd been an all out brow
(21:11):
Yeah. No. But here's thething. I don't even think a white
person would do that because I feelbecause I feel like they'd be like,
this feels like a mistake. It'slike up on the stage, this feels
like a huge mistake, and they'dbe right, like, you don't like
y'all need that, like, don'tdo that. But no, I just
no like violence. Look, Ithink you know, there is a time
(21:33):
and place for everything. And Ithink somebody telling you, hey, you
need to move your boat because theyare the like quite literally, like law
enforcement or whatever there's telling you moveyour boat. Yea, Like they're not
doing anything to you, just likehurting you. They're not breaking your civil
rights. They're just moving your boat. They're just telling you move your boat.
You didn't want to do it becauseyou didn't want to do it.
Because you didn't want to do it. Yeah, you didn't have a legitimate
(21:56):
reason. Right, Oh it's broken, sorry I can't move it. Like,
nah, you just didn't want todo it because you didn't want to
listen to this guy, right,and then you sucker punched him, right,
Like if you like violence, yeah, if you start violence, like
it's it's not all bets off atthat point, Like but look I was,
(22:19):
I was. I mean my heartgrew three sizes today and and look
we have our differences, but it'snot it's it's a wonderful feeling to see
us kind of coming together when somebodyis fucking with us, man, because
we've been doing that all our lives, Joe, We've been for black people,
(22:42):
been doing it for generations, whichis real fucking sad, and I'm
glad to see that. Like evenin this new like world that we live
in where like everything you say anddo is is you know, wrong or
(23:03):
questioned or it's still still we cancome together, uh and save a black
person from possibly being murdered. Yo, Like yeah, that's a that's a
very good point because like that's nottalked to all. They just beating him
up, Like Noah, they couldhave killed that guy. No, they
could have killed that man. Theycould have killed that man. It was
four grown ass men, uh fightingone dude who was damn and they could
(23:30):
and he was right about what.It could have killed him, Yo,
it could have killed him. Andyeah, man, I just it was
it was it was, it wasa good feeling, like like I'm transfixed
by this, Like I love Ilove it. I love it. Yeah,
Like I think they're they're going tobe people who try to make this
into like well, you know,you shouldn't condone violence. And how would
(23:52):
you feel if it was four blackdudes, you know, beating shot out
of one white guy one. Iwouldn't be cool with that, Like that's
it would be wrong. It wouldbe done if somebody has sucked up,
like it's just it's not sucked up, right, that being said, you
cannot ignore the historical context of this. Apparently where that doc was or is
is also a place where slaves werebrought in in this country. Right,
(24:15):
it doesn't mean right, Like youknow, there is historical context to put
that in. And like I sawsomebody I think his name is Consciously on
social media. He's a very verysmart guy, like super educated dude.
I like him a lie. He'sreally funny as well. But you know
he was just talking about like listen, you know you hear people say like
(24:36):
we're not our ancestors or you know, you know that type of language.
And we talked about this on theshow too. It's like you don't say
that because like you're you're implying thatlike our ancestors were like docile or some
shit, like they were not,Like people did not go into slavery.
Just like happy go Lucky about thatship. People fought and died and tried
their best to stop that ship.They were you know, they were outgunned
(24:59):
quite literally, right. We talkedabout that on the Antebellum episode. Ironically,
I just listened to that episode againtoday, and yeah, that was
a terrible movie. And we uhand yeah, we all made that exact
same point, like, oh,I'm not my ancestors, I would do
this. You don't know what youwould have done back then, but I
(25:22):
know what I'm gonna do now.And and now I'm not gonna take this
ship like you can't. You gotI gotta you gotta do something. You
know, you gotta do something.Yeah you do, you quite you quite
literally do. And I am justI am just so happy to watch us
refuse to just go quietly right likenow, you're you're just not gonna do
(25:47):
that, and we just stand by. This is not gonna happen. This
is twenty twenty three. You're notjust gonna We're not just gonna be like,
well, just record it, like, nah, you're about to beat
get the shit kicked out of youin HD and it's gonna be good,
worrious. And you deserved it.You deserved it. And at the end
of the day, those black peopledidn't just equal their power those white people.
They beat the shit out of thosewhite guys too, and those guys
(26:10):
fucking deserved it. You know,absolutely started started running once the portals open
and about this was hilarious. That'sfucking funny as shit. Man. It's
like, look, man, it'sagain. If you you know this is
(26:32):
this is one of those things.It's like, if you if you push
us all the way into this ideathat we are always together, we are
always together, we are always together, you're gonna have a hell of a
time ripping us apart. And youmay get those like little moments where it's
like, oh, well maybe I'mgonna do this, I'm gonna do that.
It's different than the vast majority ofus. That's fine, that happens.
(26:52):
We are individuals, right, weare not a monolith. But I
got I gotta wonder, I gottawonder. I'll wait and see. Over
the next couple of days. Whatdo you black conservatives say about this?
That's what I'm fascinated about, becauseit'd be it'd be interesting to hear,
right, mister, like, allthese are freedom, love and fight for
freedom. All right, here's yourbrother here's your brothers right here, they're
(27:15):
right here getting unnecessarily attacked, right, And it's irrefutable. It's irrefutable who
started this fight? Yeah, there'sno argument, right, there's like and
if you can't, if you,if you precious snowflakes, can't can't take
a couple of of of words.You gotta you gotta you can you answer?
(27:37):
You answer words with fists like who'sthe snowflake? Now? You know
what I mean? Like they've alwaysbeen it's always been projection. It's always
been projection. That's why, that'swhy, that's why the word cook is
in the lexicon right now. Nobodyused that word. People didn't know what
the fuck that word meant until theystarted using it. And it's projection though,
(28:00):
And it's okay, all right,all right, look shout out,
shout out to shout out to theto the zebra striped dude and the white
hat ready to choke these motherfucker's that'sthat's that's that's my spirit animal. I
know everybody's like, oh, theguy with the chair, the guy with
the chair, right, I getit. I get it. Look I
love fighting with weapons, right Like, that's that's great, Right, you
(28:22):
can do it. There's a wayto do chair shots without having to give
somebody a concussion if if that's youknow, really what you want to do.
But no, my spirit animal isuh is zebra man? Just ready
to choke a motherfucker like we endedthis, we ended I'm way too old
to be going five three minute rounds. Get the fuck out of here.
I'm trying to go for a knockoutimmediately. Absolutely not. Look this fight.
(28:48):
It's one thirty am in the morning. Uh at a at a at
a boxing event. I'm ready togo. Let's fucking knock these motherfuckers.
I love it, man, Ido. I do. And it's it's
a it's a perfect microcosm for whathappens, Like how how linked up we
truly are through all the bullshit,cutting through all the all the narrative and
(29:11):
everything else, how linked up arewe truly? Turns out still pretty linked
up? And that's that's that's goodnews, man, that's really good news
because the worst, the worst situationcould have been a crowd of black people
just watching this black maggot beat andbe like, I'm getting into right,
right, And then I would Iwould have been there are many issues I
(29:32):
would have been concerned about regarding that, But the worst part of that would
have been we're becoming them, andwe're becoming overly individualized in the society that
does not give a fuck about uscollectively. Right, So that's a dangerous
fucking situation to be like, whydon't we all go our own way?
No, they'll pick you off oneby one. Right, that's the that's
(29:53):
the that's the motorcyp Randi of blackconservatives. Yes, for some reason,
for some reason, they don't havethe they don't feel like they have the
community or they don't have the community, uh to kind of fall back on,
even though they probably did growing up, which is why they are where
they are today. And they've andand it's very individualized. Yo. We
(30:17):
live in a society, you know, Like I hate to quote that fucking
line, but we we live ina society and we have to help each
other because we gotta live here.Yo. Like it's twenty twenty three.
Yeah, we gotta live here.I just and we ain't going nowhere.
I ain't going nowhere. You ain'tget the funk out of here. You
move. We're not you. Youdid, but like you, we don't
(30:41):
have brawls down here where Fine.I had a margarita last night. I
was like, Oh, it's gettingcrazy up there. Wow, you're all
right, look at average ass Americanswatching the ship on my hospital and that
that's crazy. No, I'm gonnabe all right. You put up the
(31:06):
fucking Facebook flag, survived Alabama.Like I'm good, I'm good as wild
man. But now look, man, I'm I'm happy to see black people.
We are still connected in a ina fundamental way that that while we
are trying to describe it, ifyou are not black, you don't understand
it. Like you just couldn't possiblyunity unless you're unless you're another minority,
because other minorities get they get likeif if this was like like if this
(31:33):
was yeah, if this was likefour white dudes and like this beating up
a Mexican dude, same out good, same outcome. Dudes with the road
up and beat the shit out ofthem because they see themselves as a collective
like they do. So yeah,that was fun to watch. I probably
won't watch it again eight times already. Need I do need the one thing
(31:56):
I'll say before we go, andand I take this part very seriously.
We live in an age of youknow, we we are living in the
future, so to speak. I'mgonna need an HDR version of this,
like somebody has to have sixty friendsper second version. Come on, Yeah,
