Bird and Anglo piracy

Clint Eastwood produced and directed a biopic on Charlie Parker back in the late 80s, called Bird, Parker's nickname. I saw it again as an adult and hated it. Forrest Whitaker did an admirable job playing the American music icon, but Eastwood was as lame as it gets as a director.

My problems with this film is what it chooses to dwell on, what it miserably fails to depict and what I like to call, "White Piracy", which is a term for when white people take credit for things they shouldn't take credit for.

Details to come...and yes, this will be offensive...
