Hope you all enjoyed your CHRISTMAS season.
Back to important things, like GS Name that Flick:
So I have to believe that a movie about a man who is powerful and famous and doesn't like integration, yet feels like a victim in America ["Plymouth Rock landed on us"] is not easy to even guess? Well I'll be... Oh well, here's more.
"I will not touch the white man's poison; his drugs, his liquor, his swine, his women."
"Brothers and sisters, I am here to tell you that I charge the white man. I charge the white man with being the greatest murderer on earth. I charge the white man with being the greatest kidnapper on earth. There is no place in this world that this man can go and say he created peace and harmony. Everywhere he's gone he's created havoc. Everywhere he's gone he's created destruction. So I charge him. I charge him with being the greatest kidnapper on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest murderer on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest robber and enslaver on this earth! I charge the white man with being the greatest swine-eater on this earth. The greatest drunkard on this earth! He can't deny the charges! You can't deny the charges! We're the living proof of those charges! You and I are the proof. You're not an American, you are the victim of America. You didn't have a choice coming over here. He didn't say, 'Black man, black woman, come on over and help me build America.' He said, 'Nigger, get down in the bottom of that boat and I'm taking you over there to help me build America.' Being born here does not make you an American. I am not an American, you are not an American. You are one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of America. You and I, we've never seen any democracy. We didn't see any... democracy on the-the cotton fields of Georgia, wasn't no democracy down there. We didn't see any democracy. We didn't see any democracy on the streets of Harlem or on the streets of Brooklyn or on the streets of Detroit or Chicago. Ain't no democracy down there. No, we've never seem democracy! All we've seen is hypocrisy! We don't see any American Dream. We've experienced only the American Nightmare!"
Now, if you guys don't get this, then regardless of how you feel about the subject of this movie, you have GOT to see it! Not for the truthfulness of this subject matter, but for its truthfulness TO its subject matter.
