We saw Selma this morning... Excellent movie.. Very powerful. I can understand why there's a lot of award buzz... I'm giving it 4 silver stars.
 

Looks like a good movie, and I like Oprah. I don't go to the theaters much, will wait and see it when it's on cable TV. Thanks for your review. :)
 
What I mean was... that being White.... it was difficult to watch... Difficult in that it was MY race that did these things.. My race that denied people the right to vote, to ride in the front of the bus..... to eat at a lunch counter.. My race that was so horribly racist.... and even now... in many ways... still is. We were sitting in a theater predominantly filled with African Americans... I felt embarassed.

There's a lot of our history that's not pretty and nothing to be proud of, that's for sure.

IF it were only history.... unfortunately, so much of the same hatred and racism still exists. It was more covert... up until 7 years ago.. then it became overt again. That's what is embarrassing.
