America has been able to throw black and brown families in-and-out of cages for so long because even the White Liberal Moderates like #WesAnderson don't see how much ally work they haven't done. Deporting illegal dogs? If you've watched this movie, which was all over theaters recently, and you're white; please consider the subtle metaphors. Media shapes culture. ••• "Wes Anderson's latest film is a strong statement against isolationism, political corruption, corporate greed and scapegoating a small portion of the population – oh, let's say immigrants – for the ills of contemporary society." "Oh, did we mention it's mostly told from the perspective of dogs?" "All barks have been rendered into English," explains Anderson's latest stop-motion movie, " @isleofdogs " "the story explores an "irrational anti-dog fear"" "Leading the ban is a corrupt mayor with a hidden agenda for turning his citizens against dogs. Sparking the resistance movement is the mayor's orphaned nephew, Atari, who goes on a dangerous quest to rescue his guard dog, Spots – thus unwittingly inspiring a massive student protest against pup prejudice." freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/julie-hinds ••• Still reading and white? Take one of the ongoing 'Responding to Racist Remarks' workshops that SURJ (Showing up for Racial Justice ) offers nationally. Engage your whiteness! [ http://surjroc.org/ ] Most everybody does not want to be racist .... but until white folks collectively account their inherent privelige, blindness, and arrogance; there will be no real steps made toward racial justice in this country. #immigrants #blacklivesmatter #whiteprivelige #whitesupremacy #whiteliberals #daca (at United States)
