I know this is an older video, but this hit a bit close to home. I'm white. My girlfriend is white. When a black family started moving into their neighborhood, her mom started getting nervous. Talking about the neighborhood becoming less safe. Any time something randomly bad, even so much as dog poop left out, it was "those new neighbors." It doesn't matter that they're nice people. It doesn't matter that they helped me and my friend when his car got stuck in the snow. They had the wrong color skin. Fuck that shit.

You are the positive change this world badly needs. You can't change the whole damn world all by yourself, but you can change your microcosm.

@TheModernSnipez 6 лет назад

I mean statisitically its not irrational to think that.

@phaedrussmith1949 5 лет назад

@Quatuor Virtutibus. I would say that your girlfriend’s mother was spot-on. When the black family moved in the white racists transitioned from a latent state to an active state. When white racists become active they are very dangerous. @TheModernSnipez. I am doing some research on white neighborhoods becoming less safe when a black family moves in but am having difficulty coming up with any statistical data that will support that. Perhaps you could provide me with a link. Thanks.

Never read the book, watched the movie, or saw the play, but just got a 100% on a college Lit class quiz about "Raisin in the Sun" from watching this video alone. #Winning

I want to see a show on Wisecrack that is deep intellectual analysis of extremely superficial music. Like a old dignified dude with a British accent reading the lyrics to a Nikki Minaj song as if it were fine literature. I think that'd be funny.

@anonb4632 7 лет назад

420Travesty There is no British accent. I think you mean Queen's English.

@doomcloud3164 6 лет назад

420Travesty yes!!! This should be a thing.

@alicewilloughby4318 4 года назад

Well, some years ago, there was this parody called "Country Shakespeare" on one of the Country Music stations, where a guy would recite the lyrics to a country song translated into pseudo-Shakespearian and then the callers had to say what the song actually was.

@tanistoplin2432 7 лет назад

I love how you make me excited to read a book and then when I attempt to read it I realize this isn't as exciting as it sounds.

@joesomenumbers 9 лет назад

I haven't read this in like 15 years, but that line with the eggs stuck with me. Something about that speech really resonates, especially him yelling "Damn these eggs! Damn all the eggs there ever was!"

@julialanotte9274 9 лет назад

Not even kidding I just watched this instead of reading the book and got the highest score on the test in my class #thankyouverymuch

I always get so excited when I see a Thug Notes on something I've actually read.

@nashwinston1395 9 лет назад

I saw this play when it was done at the Dallas theater center and the ending was the most spectacular thing I Remember. Mama was standing in the middle of the stage joyous and laughing and then walls of the apartment split in half and reveal the new house their moving to which was the set for the sequel play Clybourne Park.

@mastergator9641 Год назад

I walked my dog one day, and found this book under a tree. Some middle schooler’s finished homework I suppose, left it there. That’s where I read it. It was a great book

@JessicaRuiz323 9 лет назад

Great video! This book was one of the first required readings I went back to a few years after getting out of college. It moved me to tears. I didn't even bother reading the book when I was in high school. The idea of exposing kids to great literature at an early age has merit, but with immaturity and lack of life experience, it just doesn't make sense to them and more than likely bores them to tears. Just my thoughts.

@ChilotamOjukwu 4 года назад

I'm Nigerian and i absolutely loved this, especially the reference to the Yoruba word though i'm not Yoruba lol

I'd like to make a few suggestions: Mrs. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf Richard III - William Shakespeare The Hollow Men - T.S Eliot Demian - Herman Hesse Please keep up the good work. This channel and this series are awesome!

@brianisebay 9 лет назад

love Thug Notes, I was an English major in college so I am right at home with all of these videos. some suggestions for future videos: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, Ulysses by James Joyce, A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin (a little out there but I figured worth asking since you've done videos for The Hobbit and Hunger Games). Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the good work!

@justkeepsmiling1498 6 лет назад

Thanks WiseCrack , I'm about to study this book this year and you gave me some excitment to start

@batlagoon 9 лет назад

Sparky Sweets, this was another awesome episode and I thank you for it, makes me want to read this book (and a lot more you've reviewed). I hope it isn't rude of me to suggest a book you might like, but I was curious to see what your opinion would be on the Marquis De Sade's novels "Justine" and "Juliette", since one book follows a character who tries to be good and finds misery while the other book shows someone doing what others deem evil to achieve happiness. I feel like the Marquis De Sade's philosophies on meaning, sex, violence and nihilism could make an interesting analysis. Regardless, whatever you review will always be fun to watch!

@allisondouglass5549 9 лет назад

If you're interested and are looking for inspiration for Black History Month, do "I know Why The Caged Bird Sings", "A Time to Kill", "Black Boy", or "The Warmth of Other Suns" (...you could also to the movie for "A Time To Kill" for Earthling Cinema...just a thought....) great episode thanks for posting!!

Hello Sparky Sweets! I love your show and I am totally psyched that you are including Langston Hughes. If I may be so bold as to request another book for February, please do Kindred by Octavia Butler! It is one of my very favorites.

@theresaivy7274 4 года назад

"is the cash though, it's an all white neighborhood"! Sparky, your expression just about laid me out! Your face says it all. S*** about to get ugly in here! Yah heard me! I saw Lorraine Hanesberry play performed when I was 10 yrs. old and was moved and woke on a deep level. Also, Sidney Poitier was outstanding in the film as Walter Younger. You know Sidney with all the gritted teeth, righteous indignation and barely suppressed anger he brought to the role. Yet nothing beats the written word.

Any chance you might do a video on The Other Wes Moore? My English IV students just finished reading it, and many of them have been asking about a Thug Notes summary and review. They loved the few of your videos that I have showed.
