[quote=Anonymous]I'm watching the excellent documentary Freedom Riders on WETA. It's about the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the group of young people (black and white) who attempted to desegregate interstate bus travel. At each stop, they were brutally beaten and terrorized by white racists in the Deep South. Have you ever wondered why these people (southern whites) were so vitriolic and hateful? Have you ever wanted to talk to a person (now) who participated in the violence back then about WHY they were like that? Have you ever wanted to TRY to understand why they were so brutal and vicious and full of hate? Needless to say this film is really getting to me. I can't stop tearing up while I watch it. I just don't get it. I'm so glad I wasn't alive back then. Sorry for the rambling. [/quote]
