#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 🇧🇸
#NormanJewison 🇨🇦
#RodSteiger 🇺🇸
#WalterMirisch 🇺🇸

It is more than an ‘embarrassment’:

it is full-frontal #MightyWhiteyFace abuse in #RealTime, by a guy wearing a shocking level of bronzer

& not no #SlappingEndicott respite

🎞️ #InTheHeatOfTheNight
#SidneyPoitier #VirgilTibbs

#NormanJewison 1967

that wasn’t ‘stupid’

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 & couldn’t believe I’d seen anything so overtly racist that didn’t include burning a cross
I wanted them to come back in a #SlappingEndicott moment… but The #AfricanLeaders were consummate professionals

I’m appalled
repulsed
aghast
We all just watched #MightyWhiteyFace 💢in action💢

I just suddenly wanted to watch #InTheHeatOfTheNight, a film was *made the year I was borne* & *nothing has changed* for these privileged #OldWhiteUNmen
