#SlappingEndicott
Note
#Bahamian #actor & #Canadian #director created this film about #US #Southern #Racism
I lived in #Atlanta for a few years & it was nauseating to see the appalling #SystemicRacism in 2010-15
#InTheHeatOfTheNight
#SidneyPoitier π§πΈ
#NormanJewison π¨π¦
#RodSteiger πΊπΈ

It is more than an βembarrassmentβ:
it is full-frontal #MightyWhiteyFace abuse in #RealTime, by a guy wearing a shocking level of bronzer
& not no #SlappingEndicott respite
ποΈ #InTheHeatOfTheNight
#SidneyPoitier #VirgilTibbs
#NormanJewison 1967
that wasnβt βstupidβ
You watched #MightyWhiteyFece #Racism in realtime
without the palate cleanser of #SlappingEndicott
#TheyCallMeMr.Tibbs
#SydneyPoitier
#InTheHeatOfTheNight, 1967
#NormanJewison
the entire #OvalOffice #MightyWhiteyFace moment was fucking horrific #racism
I saw it last night & couldnβt believe Iβd seen anything so overtly racist that didnβt include burning a cross
I wanted them to come back in a #SlappingEndicott moment⦠but The #AfricanLeaders were consummate professionals
Iβm appalled
repulsed
aghast
We all just watched #MightyWhiteyFace π’in actionπ’
I just suddenly wanted to watch #InTheHeatOfTheNight, a film was *made the year I was borne* & *nothing has changed* for these privileged #OldWhiteUNmen
