These guys were heroes and funny. This should always happen. That would be great if it were a whole group, maybe ten or twenty black men and women, dressed like slaves, with some quietly filming, and saying nothing, except, “we’re here to watch,” and then just filming all the white peoples reactions and faces. Because this type of performance of play acting the civil war is horrible. Of course it’s racist. Unless, it’s Union soldiers up north. Which is an even better idea. The black men, maybe about ten or twenty, should dress up as Union soldiers, and then pretend to shoot the confederate whites, killing like twice as many whites as black Union soldiers. Then film it and put it on the internet titled, “Realistic Union battle of black Americans soldiers killing Confederates.” The whites would go nuts on the internet, screaming how it was fake, how it didn’t happen, blah blah blah. They did like the modern internet version of a civil rights protest—clever, funny, slightly confrontational, and yet almost got arrested by real cops who came quickly because they saw black men in chains.
“Sir, please pick up the cotton.” Oh, god, so rich. We need more like this. Great work.
