Did anybody watch "POV: The Two Jaspers"?
I'm still creeped out.
Two miles from the crime scene the men from the morturary started seeing a brown streak in the road. It was blood and tissue. Brrr.
After James Byrd was dragged to death behind a pickup in Jasper TX in 1998, two documentary film crews started making a documentary. The black crew filmed black people, and the white crew filmed white people. They found some very articulate people of both races. The crews got into the homes of the people they filmed, watching them eat dinner, drinking on Saturday night, and one guy brushing his teeth in the morning. Everyone is hurt and baffled, if for different reasons.
During the course of the documentary, the iron fence between the white side and the black side of the town cemetary was torn down. Until 1998, the cemetary was still segregated, and no one had even thought about it.
I recommend that if it comes around as a repeat, you try to see it.
