RE: why do we still have racism in America?
I feel as if we live in a time where anybody can have a very loud voice with such little cost. American minorities can now express the way they feel to a much larger audience. American minorities can now communicate with each other on issues that have for too long been ignored by the majority. I disagree in these movies fanning the flames. The movies you reference help retell American History as it truly was. They help foster communication and togetherness. I believe your intentions are very honest, but I fear for a world that worries of flaming the fires of shame.
Thanks for your reply and I agree with you in the historical aspect of what these movies deliver. And in that respect I think we can all agree that it was a horrible time in history, but I personally know people that get extremely worked up over these subjects and these movies continue to keep that rage or anger alive because these movie are so powerful. In these times with so much police brutality and media attention on minority shootings these movies don't seem to help the situation. Again not my intention to upset or create division or anything negative but who do we shame about it now? When does the healing begin? Peace!
