We grow up in a society that takes us apart instead of showing us we are.

All part of the same unit.

~ Vincent Perez ~.

OH MY GAWD! This Movie WAS LIKE WAKE UP SLAP for me. It brought a SAD and Horrible memory back to me that I was witness during my trip with my Husband in South Africa. Something I ll never forget.

I remember there were these 3 young black kids wrapped nacked around those sort of "Electric Pipes" in the middle of the street you ll get to see in African Countries, atleast the ones which I have been. However the Kids were whipped brutaly by couple of Officers.

FUCKIN SHIT I cried my eyes off. When I saw that. This Police Officer walked along to me and my Husband and he asked what is wrong with me, and my Husband answered the Police that IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE KIDS. My Husband asked the Police why they were so beaten Brutaly but the Police Officer looked back to the Kids who were still being whipped by another White Police and he said like.

. OH They are just thieves and Nigga they need to be punished.

Throught watching Catch a Fire this I couldnt stop crying. I thought gee, GOD DAMM WHITE in South Africa WHIMMING how miserable their lives are, but you should take a look what you are doin. During our trip to South Africa I was so shocked to see, that there are classes in schools seperated between and blacks and white kids.

For the first time I was ashamed to be a half white. It made me nearly break off. To think there is a white blood running through my veins.

The Moment I saw those Kids have been whipped there was this crowd shouting out Nasty stuff while the Kids were bleeding and crying. I think the Kids were like between 12 and 14.

And the comment of the Police to my Husband that gave me the rest. When we went back to Hotel I broke off nearly the whole night.

And I realized nothing has changed. And I dont think South Africa will be ever Free from Whites and their terror against em.

Incase you are wondering it is not long ago. This Horrible experience seeing such Horrible things happening was in 2006.

This Movie WAS A GOD DAMM FUCKIN WAKE UP SLAP TO ME. AND it still makes me sad when I think back. I LL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO SOUTH AFRICA.

Movie:

A great Made Movie, but it ll take me a time to watch Tim Robbins Movies. He was so convincing in his character. I like Tim Robbins but as said.

Some White South African said, such Movies make look White bad and all that....Well sure, lets think of the American Natives, the first race who suffered the slavery. So much to that! It wasnt different with Africans.

In every of us there is a Racist A Friends tends to say..

And it is like a Demon you have to keep it in a cage. You can hate it, but you cannot deny it. Keep it close and you ll be Safe from YOURSELF! : Wiljr.

For more info about the Movie and the true Background of the Movie which is based upon on real story Check Wikipedia dont ask shitty questions.
