Woke Done Right
This was from almost half a century ago. Here we see Marlon Brando reflecting upon his refusal to show up for the Oscars. Watch the interview, and you can see what a thoughtful, gentle person he was, and how he carefully takes time to make himself understood. What a marvelous contrast to the way things are handled today. (And I’m not even referring to the fact that the big controversy back then was a gentle speech by a Native American as opposed to some guy smacking another guy in the face).
