[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The movie is about those who put themselves on the FRONT LINE. We tend to make "white people" the Savior of Blacks when that is not historically accurate. No body did more for the civil right movement than BLACK PEOPLE themselves. It wasn't some white SAVIOR it was our community facing our fears and challenging the establishment. It had nothing to do with some mythical white figure coming in to save us. Black are tired of that FALSE narrative...as they SHOULD BE. Give credit to those who deserve it.

This is absurd. Whites had all the power and, in a long, drawn-out process, finally chose (under some external and moral pressure from anglo and jewish religious figures!) to share it. They could have chosen to clamp down harder, to shoot protestors, to drive non-whites from these shores. The whites who made the decision to share power, rather than stamp out a domestic problem, were co-saviors with mlk etc. To ignore this fact and them is a FALSE narrative. Give credit to those who deserve it.
