Hotel Rwanda!
I watched Hotel Rwanda about a month or so ago and it was the most heart-renching movie I'd ever seen. I wanted to jump through the movie screen and start something that's how upset I was.....it's just sad. What makes it worse is that it was a true story and was pretty much shielded from the rest of the world. To see all those people killed for apparent reason....makes you wonder is something like that would happen here in America! it's a possibility. There's also another version of this same story called Sometimes In April it's shown on HBO....this version is more graphic and is told from a different point of view. I was felt the same for this movie as I did the other one. I wonder....why didn't we come to their rescue?........why did they try and shield this massacre from the world? Those are some of the unanswered questions that stick out in my mind.
This story some what parallels situations here in the US, not to that magnitude but.....let me just put it out there....... We as Black people/ African Americanhate on each other. We discriminate against another Black person just b/c of the color of their skin, we don't support Black owned businesses....and let's not go there w/ the "good hair" issue...let me calm down a bit I felt myself going there. We have got to help each other out from Africa to America, so instead of putting down someone ask yourself.....self..... if I were in that persons shoes would I want someone else to put me down? Not only does this apply to Black America but to all races.
