      Tulsa is a really really bad example for him to pick because for better or for worse Watchmen *actually was* the first visual media depiction of the massacre to get any traction There WASN'T any Emmy-award winning straight historical dramatization of the massacre before thathttps://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/1286203297658023938 …

      It's been almost 100 years since the Tulsa massacre happened and since then there's been three movies about it -- The Tulsa Lynching of 1921 (2000, Michael Wilkerson), Before They Die (2008, Reggie Turner), and Hate Crimes in the Heartland (2014 Rachel Lyon and Bavand Karim)

      None of these movies won an Emmy or an Oscar The third one, Hate Crimes in the Heartland, did get the Paul Robeson Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Newark Black Film Festival, and hit Netflix in 2016

          (The first one was released on Cinemax in 2000 -- back then, premium cable was not wide release and would not be seen by most people) This topic didn't get traction until very recently -- hell, that's what the title of the first two movies refers to, the fact that no one cared

          It's a fucking stupid flex to try to pull -- the imaginary good ol' days when Americans were mature grownups who dutifully watched straight historical dramatizations about Tulsa with no narrative layered on top of it DIDN'T EXIST

          You can hate Watchmen for any number of reasons but you HAVE TO give it credit for the fact that it taught Americans what happened in Tulsa BECAUSE IT IS A FACT There is no earlier, more staid and sober popularization of Tulsa that it replaced, you made that up in your head

          I'm so fucking sick of this kind of smug superior douchebag take from the left, playing at being Adorno and talking about how "late capitalism has rotted people's brains", a whole conservative Harold Bloom take with a Marxist coat of paint
