In the sociological sense, recuperation is the process by which politically radical ideas and images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed, defused, incorporated, annexed or commodified within media culture and bourgeois society, and thus become interpreted through a neutralized, innocuous or more socially conventional perspective. More broadly, it may refer to the cultural appropriation of any subversive symbols or ideas by mainstream culture.
So they're doing to Hampton what they've done for decades with MLK.
I wonder what the narrative regarding Hampton's assassination will be. It will probably fall somewhere in "oh no the government did a bad racism" rather than acknowledging any long history of racial subjugation being their entire job. God forbid they show the FBI as irredeemable sacks of shit.
I want Boots Riley to have creative control of this movie.
