That was so much better than I could have ever expected, especially coming from a corporation which is not particularly progressive or ethical in the way they actually conduct business.
I’d thought it would be the requisite preachy PSA’s like the ones many of us endured as kids in the 80’s; sanctimonious, sugar-coated, and no real help at all.
Instead, it was thoughtfully made by a Black documentarian, and actually delved into some of the history of racial bias. Additionally it provided anecdotal insights, and some much needed juxtaposition.
“This muddied river of racism; we still have to wade though it. We haven’t damned it, we haven’t dried it up; it’s still there…”
Brilliant analogy.
That said, I fear that the people who need to hear the message the most will just turn a deaf ear.
I hope I’m wrong.
