From the animated minds of the "Read A Book" PSA/video, Tyree Dillihay & Six Point Harness Studios, (fyi: I interviewed them and Bomani for King mag) comes the newest animated breath of fresh air for the ongoing dialogue on race. A series of shorts titled, "DIFFERENCES." Like most things that are awesome it is best explained by simply watching it:

I Love this video.
ReplyDeleteHopefully non-threatening to anyone.
cutest thing i've seen in so long!
ReplyDeleteThat video clip makes me feel even happier. Btw, 'black' girls are the most populair on my bLog. We Dutch are not a fuzzy about the subject as Americans seem to be.

Things can't get more worse than they are now. Only better.

"And then they threw the pictures [their families] away because it didn't matter."
ReplyDeleteYes, that'll work. The family is so... reactionary, so irrelevant to the glorious new era we're supposed to be entering.
