I got an oddly passive aggressive email from someone behind the Tipping Point doc apologizing (?) that I wasn't in it.
Apparently people have been asking them why I wasn't in it.
Not actually sure how to respond to this.

It's always funny when white people lead the way on Black projects because they always depend on the Black people they already know and agree with yet never seem prepared for the backlash sure to come from the rest of the diaspora.
That documentary didn't need my voice, it needed to be produced by someone who knew what story they were telling. It needed less police interviews. It needed a climactic moment. It needed to talk about defunding police, firing Wheeler & the multicultural effort attempting it.
But "people are hating because it doesn't have Mac Smiff" is a nice cop-out.
Happy to take the blame.
