The Great Debaters
Has anyone seen this yet? I saw it over the weekend, and it was AMAZING. The ONLY other movie that left me this deep in thought upon seeing it was Blood Diamonds. I was EXTREMELY moved by it, especially living in the south. So much so that when I got back, I sent a message to all my African-American friends and then even posted that message to a bunch of people I didn't even know.
All in all, it is an AMAZING AMAZING movie!
Was anyone else moved as much as I was by it?

Are German people (under sixty) constantly apologizing to the Jews due to the WWII holocaust? No. Do Turkish people (under the age of 80) apologize to Armenians for the WWI killing of them? No. Do Catholics apologize to athiests for the inquisition? No.

Those were GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED GENOCIDES and no apology is required. The acts were acts as a result of misinformation and public hysteria, and any current, and reasonable, person realizes that. The associations responsible for such atrocious acts are not permanently responsible, nor should they be. Only the people involved. Not all Germans were tried at Nürnberg, just as not all white Americans should be held in contempt for things done in the fifties, or even the eighteen fifties.

The persecution of African Americans in the United States has never been that bad, and I know I made a GIANT leap, but sometimes great exaggeration is needed to get a point across. We realize now that it was nonetheless stupid. An apology is fine, but only from the people who DID harass black Americans. An apology from someone who knows not what went on then, much less took part in what happened, is worthless.

EDIT: I completely forgot to actually respond to the topic of the movie.

What's it about?

Okay, maybe so, but I still felt like I needed to do it.
Anyways, thats (what I said) is not what the movie is about, its just the response it drew from me, due to certain (true) events depicted in it.
The point is, this is a great movie, and I'd suggest everyone go see it!
If anyone else has seen it, what did you think?
