I mentioned last week that it would be interesting to institutionalize the cottage industry of chronicling racism either through a racism index or via video on YouTube. I did so only semi-seriously because quite frankly I'm getting tired of and fed up with the entirety of black politics. I lack the patience and there's no pay-off. I'm going cultural. As a signpost along the way of the devolution and death of black politics as I see it, here is a juicy offering from the man who filmed the beating of Reginald Denny; a big fat lawsuit.
A journalist and well-known helicopter pilot in Los Angeles has filed suit against video-sharing site YouTube, claiming that it encouraged users to violate copyright law.
Robert Tur says video he shot of the beating of trucker Reginald Denny during the 1992 Los Angeles riots was posted at YouTube without his permission and viewed more than 1,000 times. Tur says in his lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court, that YouTube is profiting from his work while hurting his ability to license his video.
So there goes one avenue of spreading the word.
I watched 16 Blocks the other night. Good flick. Excellent example of what crooked cops can and do get away with. I'm not one to say that anything black is threatened by something that happens to one black, but one could easily imagine how this kind of crap goes down. Everybody has got their own agenda, few of which are actually in the spirit of public service - or so goes the metaphor. With the kind of crap that Pelosi is getting away with vis a vis Alcee Hastings and John Murtha, I have little doubt a hundred such corruptions take place in our society. The question is, who is going to tell the truth?
