Bamboozled

The title above is the title of a movie I just watched starring Daymon Wayans, Jada Pinket Smith and some other stars.

In the movie, people wore black faces and acted like entertainers of the 40's.At first, I was appauled by the darkness and racial offensiveness. Then it dawned on me that the movie made a point. It was a satire that exposed the ignorance of a racially charged society.

We call America great, but it was built by slaughtering a race of natives and enslaving a second race. But, that's not the worst of it. The truth is: racism and various prejudices still exist. They are responsible for the heavy concentration of drugs in the ghetto, and the unjust penal codes that result in prison populations being mostly minorities.

Even now I'm a victim of prejudices despite accomplishing things in 6 months, after 10 years of prison, that most can't accomplish in a lifetime. Things that most people wouldn't even dare try.

I have a lot of pride. I have a lot of loyalty. I have a lot of dignity. I also have a lot of love for all people.

I wonder what it will take for people to wake up. I couldn't care less about racists. The fact that they are racist proves they are not worthy of my concern.

What pisses me off is the willingness of black people to be niggers!
