I think movies like that should be a requirement for black kids.

So I watched Mississippi Burning again.
It was showing on Encore just now.

That shyt blows my mind.
Like, that's a whole different level of racism that I couldn't even imagine. And that's just a movie. Reality was far worse.

How do black people watch that movie and not be filled with hatred when it's over?
If I was white, I would definitely not want to watch that movie with a black person.

Mississippi burning rates like a 6 on the 1-10 scale of " racist movies that piss u off" at least for me.
Rosewood
Once upon a time when we were colored
12 years a slave
Are worse

I am always shock at how many people my age and younger that haven't seen, know little about, or the actual history behind the movies. It is really sad the number of black parent not even talking about racism like that anymore.
