  1. Title of this video is misleading. Why not just name the Title of the Movie?

  2. I do not want to hear anything about Ava DuVernay, A Wrinkle in Time was terrible, and Selma's history was inaccurate. As for the book that the film is based on, first it curious to me how some books are accepted as fact regardless of anything else. Second, in the book she compared the US to Nazi Germany and India, even those that are nonsense. It was also endorsed by Oprah Winfrey, enough said.

    Also, I would remind Ava DuVernay that the court found George Zimmerman, not guilty, so he did not 'kill' anyone, so you should not used the term 'killer' but what do you expect from her?

  3. Nobody cares or ever will keep cramming race down our necks

  4. Truly touching and eye opening film

  5. You have to love this RACE baiting. You think when white people came to America. They celebrated the first thing they did as white people? Indians went around and said first white man to crap here in or first white women who ate corn
    When you put a race in front of a name. You're the new racist biggots.
