It Hurts The PC Police, But It's On The Nose

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2017)

Yes, I've read the reviews from the Gen Xers and the Millennials who all doubt the accuracy and want to believe this is some alternate universe, but this is it. This is what it was like. This is what it was like when I was activated during the riots when Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. This was what it was like when I was activated during the Nashville prison riots. I hate to rain on your delicate sensibilities, but this is ~precisely~ what it was like. A disturbing look at the times, but an accurate look at the times. These actors and the director captured it PERFECTLY. I am blown away at how realistic and factual this film nailed it. Folks think it was only the South where racism existed and they're dead-ass wrong. Racism was worse in Detroit, Boston, and St. Louis than it ever was in the South. Want to argue about this? Unless you've got a time machine, don't waste your keystrokes because you don't know what you're talking about.
