Since people were confused about the separate lane held by Chinese in the Mississippi Delta of Jim Crow because of the misrepresentation by #SinnersMovie lets clear it up. And even this mini-doc fails to make clear Chinese were brought to Mississippi by Southern elite as a tool to block advancement of Black freedom. In my view these people in the clip are discussing store ownership paternalistically as if Black people had no capacity to own their own stores. They are speaking as if giving Black Americans credit wasn’t a tool of control built out of their presence. If Blacks had been allowed to own their own stores and weren’t terrorized by the Klan and had communal economics you as the new Chinese would be the ones that needed credit for food. The journalist interviewing never ask harder questions where are the Blacks in your juke joint dance photos? Nor why were Chinese arguing Blackness was a contamination in litigation to go to school with whites while begging Blacks to support their grocery business? And Ryan Coogler had the audacity to show Chinese at a damn Black juke joint in #Sinners. And many of you clapped as if this ahistorical mangled friendship put on that movie screen was a showing of #ADOS Black American power rather than being a utter misrepresentation of what the role of Chinese was in the Mississippi Delta and beyond. Blacks did not own their own stores because of these people being brought as a sort of economic buffer class to maintain Blacks now owning anything and holding no economic power. This never should have been celebrated. Again Chinese fought to not be contaminated by Blackness and to go to WHITE schools. Not to dance with Black folks in the middle of the night. When she is saying there “was a definite camaraderie” she is clearly saying it was amongst the CHINESE children in the delta because they were their OWN sub-community. The lady continues and says “here we are all lonely in the grocery and there is absolutely nothing to look forward to. So you could imagine here was something to do.” The film then shows them in nice prom dresses and suits dancing with other Chinese and no Blacks in sight. It is clear that dance is set up by design to be a Chinese Only event. In my view what Ryan Coogler did in this Sinners film by misrepresenting Black economic and social terror is the real horror.
