I was in the middle of the video when it got yanked. Subscribed to see if it was here. :)

I just watched the video, it was cut off only at the very end for me. I really hope that F.D. Signifier finds a way to get it back up, because it was excellent. One of his best.

Loved the video. Wouldn't let me comment or leave a couple of dollars. Just remember. All performance is part sharing and part selling and parts other things. Some profound and some profane. Peace is found where you can sleep at night and look at yourself in the mirror in the morning and not have to worry about doing either one the next day. Rumble, young man, rumble. ✌🏾

I just watched this on Nebula. I have a kind of mirror anxiety as a white* consumer of black-created content - am *I* one of the "good ones", supporting and promoting stuff that does right by the community, or am I (inadvertently) supporting the wrong kind? Being a leftist and having at least a CliffsNotes understanding of all the concepts under discussion here, I like to think I know what's what - but how can one ever be certain about oneself?

I will say that I've had pretty good instincts from the beginning. I was a young kid growing up in a Leave it to Beaver suburb in the East Bay just a few freeway exits away from all the action when the local news was showing the Black Panthers, and the only thing I understood about any of it was that those were the coolest and most righteous people I'd ever seen and I wanted to know more. And the more I learned, the more I was confirmed in my initial assessment. Contrariwise, I have *always* been put off by any sort of bow-and-scrape subservience or any of the other behaviors called out here. I *hate* being put in the position of Boss - knowing how *I* feel about bosses, I can feel the underlying hostility behind it. But some of these folks are smoother than that; some have even perfected the art of using radical-sounding rhetoric in service of pulling things to the right. We faced that in the anti-apartheid movement in the 1980s; that's a long story, but that experience did inoculate me a bit to that sort of thing.

That was fantastic, sorry in advance for novel-length comment. I'm not an artist, but I am a teacher in a majority white school and I wonder all the time how much I'm holding up and playing to whiteness in my position, even when I use it to teach these white kids about Black history and antiracism. I haven't seen this movie in way too long, but it has a very special place for me. I don't know what it's like NOT to be a fly in the milk; when I was in high school in the early 2000s, I was one of maybe 10 Black kids in a student population of 1600. One of the other ten kids was my sister. It was Bamboozled that gave me words to describe things I didn't know how to explain to those people, and planted seeds for my eventual understanding of the harm that had been done to me. I couldn't actually acknowledge, let alone face it, until I was well out of there and I'm still unpacking it many years later. But I did get in a couple of good shots. My choir teacher made us sing "Old Kentucky Home" my junior year and badly explained minstrel shows as a force for good in the process. Including me, three of those ten Black kids were in that choir class. At the end of the semester I did a short presentation on the actual history of minstrel shows and showed the class five minutes of Bamboozled to demonstrate why she was a complete goddamn fool. Their horrified silence was delicious.
