Blacking Up (Movie About Wiggers)

anyone see this movie? caught it over the weekend.. check your local pbs listings

the narration, point of view & usage of the term minstrel show get really heavy handed at tines.. but if anyone ever wanted to see interviews with sage francis, aesop rock, chuck d, paul mooney, eyedea & dead prez talking about white people's place in hip hop this is where to see it. i'm sure Employee would be all over it

Blacking Up explores tensions surrounding white participation in hip-hop. Popularly referred to by derogatory terms such as גwannabeג or גwigger,ג the figure of the white person who identifies with hip-hop often invokes heated responses. For some, it is an example of cultural progress ג a movement toward a color-blind America. For others, it is just another case of cultural theft and mockery ג a repetition of a racist past.

the movie doesn't serve to stick up for white rappers anyways. he does more to show how he thinks they're exploiting blacks in a modern day minstrel show

Please tell me the director is black and not some guilt-afflicted fag sack.
