AGAIN!!!!!..... Here we are with another revisionist, hate baiting, racial tension "Pot Stirring" pack of lies!!!

Almost everyday, HBO is airing yet another racially slanted documentary that is completely devoid of the truth!!!

As a person of color, it's quite obvious that we're being used to further political agendas!!!

SOMEONE wants the races hating each other!!!

Hollywood and HBO have made it clear that they're more than willing to to be complicit in this SICK ENDEAVOUR!!!

This is not a documentary, but FICTION.... PURE FICTION!!!

ONCE AGAIN, HBO AND HOLLYWOOD SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND HELD LIABLE FOR ALL CONSEQUENCES STEMMING FROM THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE INCITEMENT OF RACIAL TENSIONS AND THE DETERIORATION OF RACE RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY... CRIMINALLY LIABLE!!!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

"Yusuf! Yusuf! Yusuf! Yusuf!" That refers to fallen teenager and innocent bystander, Yusuf Hawkins. Objectors and marchers yell his name in the docu, Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn. Yup, it's my latest review.

Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn is just what it says it is. There was indeed a racial "storm" over New York City's most populous division circa August of 1989. This documentary, which feels as relevant today as it did when the actual events went down over thirty years ago, chronicles the untimely death of Hawkins. He was a black 16-year-old who was gunned down by some youths in a mostly white neighborhood via Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

The aftermath of Yusuf's demise involved many protests and marches in which the famous Reverend Al Sharpton was involved. What's even more eerie is that the racial tension sparked by Yusuf's shooting came just months after Spike Lee released his ode to The Borough of Homes and Churches in Do the Right Thing.

"Storm Over Brooklyn" sans a sort of one-sided view, is a very well-made documentary that seems to have been released at the perfect time (or imperfect time). Growing up in Michigan in 1989, I was unaware of these events but now everything for me has come full circle. It's like this film predicted the future. Sadly, it seems almost nothing in this country has changed more than three decades later.

"Storm Over Brooklyn's" director (Muta Ali Muhammad) shoots the docu with careful style, attention to detail, and some verve. He inserts neighborhood overhead shots, grainy archive footage, and interviews by the denizens that lived through the incident (Sharpton, Yusuf's mother and brothers, former NYC Mayor David Dinkins). Chronologically told and effectively intercut with the veil of present day, Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn is one of 2020's best offerings. "We will be back and that's is a fact". Rating: 3 and a half stars.

One name- Al Sharpton. If you want to see why this escalated, you only need to do the research. I have. It's terrible.

Most people are beautiful. And love one another for who they are. Some dont. And that's a shame but it's a fact. This documentary is propaganda that will only make more of these things happen, thus more documentaries. Ridiculous.

But more sinister, there are some employed and directed by the powers that be to make us this way; divide us under the guise of justice and progress. The only thing they do is keep us standing still.

This doc is edited in a manor to prove it's own point, but not to document the totality of this very tragic situation. This is nothing more than a tool for those above us to keep us hating one another.

Death of anyone by way of murder and malice is detestable. Color isnt an issue. The true issues here were never covered.

This documentary and the ideas behind it are the reason for the killing in the first place, and that's some irony for you.

Stop making media to make us hate one another for profit.
