Making Apple Episode 2: The Black Link / Baldwin's Nigger

Little Apple The Series

There is often an unspoken mutual understanding among many people of color living in America. It may be a signal, a head nod, a pulse, a congruent sentiment usually reserved for adults that have lived long enough to add context to their experiences. Children are rarely able to do this because this requires a certain level of coupling intellect and reason. Not for Apple. She knows the systemic issues that we all face. In episode 2 of the narrative show, she is a skeptic of DRUNK MAN at first. She knows him to be a homeless drunk, pretending to be blind in order to make some money. But she also knows he is just out here trying to make it like every other person of color.
