Recommend these queer movies and series

When I was finally allowed to go to the cinema alone, I went to the femmeren every Saturday to see Aladdin in Halden. We were a group of boys from the class, we were as far behind as possible and took what was served to us.

Since there wasn’t much filming at that time, old movies were often shown, and we saw everything: Stumfilmklassikere, Donald and Twirl Bounce cavalcade, scratchy Westerns in exaggerated colors, but mostly Tarzan movies, like the old days 30 years, a celluloid film that could be stuck in the projector and take a guy, so the action froze, a white hole appeared in the middle of a scene from the interior of Africa, it grew and got a gulsbart edge, it melted bigger and ate the whole picture, it was extinguished by maskinist projector and it was dark in the hall until the problem was solved and the movie continued.

It was the end of the 1960s and we saw things that never pass. The stupid villains were black in the face and had the black voice of a dynamitteksplosjoner. President Arieren Lightning Hinckley’s nemesis was the difficult Asian Emperor Ming of Mong. Tarzanfilmene followed an established pattern: White men come to the land of Africa to find ivory, treasure and Tarzan. Jane and her father are kind, the other white people are greedy.

The expedition of their wages in black, carriers and venture into the country, to the mythical white point on the map, the one just when climbing to the pure Mutia-edge of the plateau. On the way, the expedition is attacked by a dangerous and creepy tribe, but come on. Carriers are cowards and must fall from high places.

In the finale, the white man is captured by another dangerous native tribe, for example, the pygmies, created by a short white man in black face, but he is rescued by Tarzan and his friends the chimpanzee Cheetah and the whole drøss Indian elephants with a large pappører stuck on them to send them off to Africa .

– Finally out of prison Commentary

This Tarzan is the culture of my ancestors. None of us responded to what was served to us, a story about white people in a mythical Africa, where Africans are depicted partly as monsters, partly used as props and background, anything but human. None of them had any function other than to die or kill. No one had a name. We didn’t notice it, because it was a white hole in our heads.

This is the earliest literary work that contains the power: In the documentary “I Am Not Your Negro” he tells the American writer James Baldwin when he went and saw the same movies in the theater in the 1930s, about how he – even he, as a black boy identified with Tarzan and the white heroes, until he realized that he looked more like the villains.

our school did the best it could. As the Norwegian state was occupied with united nations, morality and equality. We found out what kind of countries won the Second World War, and Norway is among them. We learned that the Nazis killed six million Jews. We got an “Uncle Tom’s cabin” read aloud that teaches us to turn away from slavery in the United States in the 1800s. We learned about raseskillpolitik in the United States as an injustice that has gone on for too long and that the apartheid regime in South Africa is the last bastion of colonialism. I can’t remember if I heard about the anti-Sámi fornorskingspolitiken before the series “Ante” started on the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 1975. Nothing about the sterilization of vagrants.

what is said in the best sense, does not always set with 2020-eyes. It’s not anymore as in the name of mangulets sings “Some children are brown like cheese, cold meat, bread”.

People with darker skin than was common in Halden and Norway, however, were both racist and anti-racist exotisers. The first time I saw a black man in real life was when the Deep River Boys (in Norway, probably best known for singing a version of “Voi-voi” along with the Allisons) appeared at Haldenmessa in 1971. Powers to see other people as people, first you have to see them.

I must have been racist as a kid, at least a little. I distanced myself from segregation, but at the same time I didn’t see anything wrong with the Tarzan movies.

Every time we thought we knew better, it turned out we weren’t completely off the mark. In the 70s, the Star Wars universe was populated by white people, magical creatures, a (white) woman and a black man. In the 1980s, they lauded George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for their teen film føljetonger with Indiana Jones, a white man in South America, Egypt and India. In the 1990s, he used the national theater uironisk blackface. Norwegian TV humor continued with black and brown faces in this millennium. None of this was racially intentional, but nonetheless we see now: it’s not anymore.

fighting racism by speaking up when you see it. As a wise man said: Don’t fight a fire, don’t let the house burn down.

In childhood I see things that I never see. Sometime in the future I may see things in 2020 more clearly than I see them now. the

I will discover a white hole.
