2:14 PM David Schmader commented on Precious: Brutal New Classic or African-American Bruno?.

From the NYT:

Sapphire, the author of “Push,” said it was too late in the day to worry that the film’s themes and images were somehow stigmatizing or inauthentic. “With Michelle, Sasha and Malia and Obama in the White House and in the post-‘Cosby Show’ era, people can’t say these are the only images out there,” Sapphire said. “Black people are able to say ‘Precious’ represents some of our children, but some of our children go to Yale.”

18: There's definitely a whiff of that, but this is a film made almost entirely by black artists, from the originating novel to the key aspects (writing, directing, acting) of the film, and dismissing their work out-of-hand feels more "racist" than any facet of watching the film.

It's a good movie, go see it.

6: It would be hypocritical if I posted this video then went out and beat a Transgender person to death. (But you'll be happy to see I've added info on today's Seattle events. Peace be with you.)
