00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.945 align:middle line:84%
And so I'm always
interested in how

00:00:03.945 --> 00:00:05.820 align:middle line:84%
they call people a lot
of times on the inside

00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:09.060 align:middle line:84%
when you go on the witness stand
like the unreliable narrator.

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.210 align:middle line:84%
Like you didn't
see what you saw.

00:00:12.210 --> 00:00:14.460 align:middle line:84%
It's just like some
other stuff to me.

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.740 align:middle line:84%
And it's really
interesting because I

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:20.610 align:middle line:84%
think we assign a
sort of stigmatism

00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.190 align:middle line:84%
to people that
are on the inside.

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:26.850 align:middle line:84%
And yeah, it's just
interesting, man.

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:30.480 align:middle line:84%
But in this wave of
this advocacy in terms

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.948 align:middle line:84%
of prison reform and talking
about these social issues,

00:00:33.948 --> 00:00:35.490 align:middle line:84%
we turn to those
people who have been

00:00:35.490 --> 00:00:37.758 align:middle line:90%
incarcerated for the truth.

00:00:37.758 --> 00:00:39.300 align:middle line:84%
But when we get on
the witness stand,

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.760 align:middle line:90%
they can't tell the truth.

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:44.280 align:middle line:84%
So anyway, I got a series
I'm working on called

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:90%
"The Unreliable Narrator."

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:48.990 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.510 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.510 --> 00:00:54.450 align:middle line:90%
Anyway, "Blame the Blameless."

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:59.100 align:middle line:84%
"Distractions ring apparent--
gate, iron, cement, gun, dog.

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:02.640 align:middle line:84%
Divisions by categorization--
race is a factor,

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.660 align:middle line:84%
also manipulated because you
cannot depend on distracted

00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:09.540 align:middle line:84%
memory inside the dome
of the incarcerated.

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.900 align:middle line:90%
This may be make-believe now.

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:16.710 align:middle line:84%
A row of cells contain Bush's
war on drugs, the carnage

00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:18.660 align:middle line:90%
invisible within a sentence.

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:22.680 align:middle line:84%
Brought in by corrections
from Baltimore, bundles of boy

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.080 align:middle line:90%
or opiates for the ignorance.

00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:28.470 align:middle line:84%
Hung out to dry while hanging
in the streets for Black bodies,

00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:30.960 align:middle line:90%
prison prescribed as cure.

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:34.260 align:middle line:84%
Blame shackles for diversions,
for the system goes

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:39.630 align:middle line:84%
blameless-- cop, warden, DA,
politician all say necessity,

00:01:39.630 --> 00:01:41.520 align:middle line:90%
a must, a need.

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:44.190 align:middle line:84%
This is the
fantastical dreamed up

00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:47.500 align:middle line:90%
in the mind of someone real."
