Quote
Violence is a personal necessity for the oppressed... It is not a strategy consciously devised. It is the deep, instinctive expression of a human being denied individuality.
Richard Wright, Native Son

Tony Bennett may have been famous for singing about San Francisco, but he was a New Yorker born and bred. Born, to be specific, in Astoria, Queens, which he later said he loved more “than any place I’ve ever lived.”
When he was nine and still called Anthony Dominick Benedetto, he sang at the dedication of the Triborough (now Robert F. Kennedy) Bridge, which earned him a pat on the head from Mayor LaGuardia.
After he made it big, he and his wife established a public high school dedicated to the arts—in Astoria, of course. He named it, not after himself, but after Frank Sinatra, who had given him his first big break. Over the years he visited it frequently, often bringing surprise guests (Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Harry Belafonte, Lady Gaga).

For the last 25 years of his life, Tony lived in a penthouse on Central Park South and was often seen in the park with his canvas and paints.

It began to seem that one would have to hold in the mind forever two ideas which seemed to be in opposition. The first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is a commonplace. But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one’s own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one’s strength. This fight begins, however, in the heart and it now had been laid to my charge to keep my own heart free of hatred and despair.
—James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son (1955)
[Robert Scott Horton]

native son (2019) takes a lot of creative liberties from the book and arguably alters the story a lot simply because the protagonist has a different personality, but the letterboxd reviews are so annoying because half the people don't know it's a fucking adaptation and they're criticizing things that are like...i dont know its just weird
