Privilege, Equality, and scary movies
Oct. 12th, 2008 01:00 amI was watching an old, 1940s B&W movie on PBS earlier tonight when we finally come on to the end and - oh shit! Unexpected violence was unexpected! D: It, oddly enough, made me really like the movie. It was called Laura and starred Gene Tierney as the title character and featured a very young Vincent Price (sans mustache - I hardly recognized him).
Anyway, I got an excellent email forward (not sure of the source) from my dad tonight, ( 'Now I understand the problem - This is Your Nation on White Privilege' )
Then I stayed up to watch a program called "In the Life: Documentary stories from the gay experience." It featured an excellent interview with NAACP Chair Julian Bond and talked about the upcoming vote on Proposition 8 in California. You can actually watch the program at their website, inthelifetv.org. Seriously, I wish I lived in CA just so I could vote no on Proposition 8. The last thing we need is to take another step backwards when it comes to civil rights in our country.
