Black Is … Black Ain’t
Marlon Riggs was working on this final picture when he died of AIDS-related problems in 1994. In numerous moments, he addresses the camera from his hospital bed. The video directly targets sexism and homophobia in the black community by juxtaposing misogynistic and anti-gay obscenities from hip-hop lyrics with interviews with African-American intellectuals and political theorists, including Cornel West, bell hooks, and Angela Davis.
