BLACKkKLANSMAN - Forwards Without Moving | Sam's Channel
This is not a subject I would typically discuss, and therein may lie the problem. The latest video editorial from Sam's Channel explores the current #BlackLivesMatter civil rights movement, inspired by the unjust murder of George Floyd, through touching on his own Judaism to analyse cultural identity depicted in Spike Lee's #BlackKklansman. Asking what 'passes' for white privilege in a time when we think we're far beyond the days of KKK hate and racist persecution.
