A night in Selma! What a night, I've been looking forward too. I'm not quite on the guestlist but I'm going to play it cool and sit here and wait on the waiting list. I didn't come down here to jump, before other people. I feel everyone have the right to see tonight's screening. I understand there's policies and procedures that I must abide by. That is what I'm going to do until there ready for me.
I would like to apologize to the person for giving me a pass for tonight's screening to "Selma". However, I have no idea who I'm apologizing to. It's my fault, I should have asked his name. After all, he did keep his word about giving me the pass to "Selma". Thank you so much.
Where do I begin? There is a lot to be said about this film. The movie is more than just about the history of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The movie takes us and our minds to a place that created more than just history for our people. We're talking legacy. Selma, Alabama is the foundation of the civil rights movements and a lot of other things overcame. The civil rights movement lead by Reverend Dr. King and his many followers and many supporters seek the rights for the "colored man" to vote in Selma, Alabama and throughout the South. Back in Selma, during those years 50 percent of the population just happen to be negroes and the other population was 20 percent white. So as you can see with such a small population of white people. I guess you can say, it was only fair that the blacks should be allowed to vote in Selma. However, it wasn't going to happen. Things weren't so easy for a brother n sister, back in them days. It was all the because of one man, Selma's racist and confederate governor, George Wallace. George Wallace bought hell among the blacks in Selma and other parts of Alabama. You had to be a very strong individual, if you took part in this, Civil Rights Movement. "A MAN STANDS UP ONLY TO BE STRUCK DOWN!!"
Truthfully, I don't think this is a proper movie to be premiering at a time in New York City, considering what have been going on between the African-Americans and the N.Y.P.D. This is only my opinion. I understand that perhaps the film will bring some sort of knowledge and wisdom. True indeed but we can not forget about those who misinterpret. You know, how people tend to over exaggerate. I could tell you this. I will be over exaggerating my anger if Oprah Winfrey doesn't receive an Oscar for this film. She did such a marvelous job in her roll as, Annie Lee Cooper. I have no idea, who that character was until today. In fact, I came across a lot of civil right leaders portrayed in "Selma" that I was unfamiliar with. This is what I mean by "HIS-TORY!!"
There were plenty of moments in the film where you came across the reckless beating by the state troopers ordered by Gov. Wallace. Not a day went by and you didn't hear the poor loose usage of the "N" word. I want everyone who goes out and sees this film. I have an exercise for you. I want you to reply back to me with your answers. Let me know, how many times you counted the "N" word being used in the movie, "Selma". This is the only time, white people get a pass for the excessive usage of the "N" word in Y2K-14. In the South, what's worst than a nigger. Just happens to be a "white nigger" or "nigger lover" some may call it. Rev. Reed fell victim. A clergyman from Boston who traveled to Selma in support of the march was brutally beaten and murdered because he stood behind Dr. King. This really hit a nerve in Dr. King, he almost called off the march. Dr. King didn't want to see anymore people dying or beaten because of something he believes in. The march began from Selma to Montgomery. Wow, could you imagine a million people marching down the streets of Flatbush Avenue, lol. When you watch this film like I've mentioned earlier its going to open your mind to a lot of things unknown, unheard of about "Selma" but its a lesson that should be taught. As you watch, this film, your probably going to wonder, "why are all the blacks running from the state troopers?" The state troopers are out numbered. I asked, myself this same question during the film. I'm pretty sure everyone involved with the civil right movement could have taken on a state trooper or two. Here's the thing, Dr. King is a non-violent brother. He practices non-violence teachings so anyone that is apart of Dr. King's alliance must be the same as him. As much as, I agreed with Dr. King's teachings and lifestyle. Sometimes I wish they fought with the state troopers. It did pain me to see my brothers and sisters getting themselves beaten and killed in the streets. At least 20 or more nightsticks and whips were being waved throughout the streets. Can't forget the tear gas, polluting the air. The side effects to all of this... bloody pavements, bruises and dead bodies.
After seeing something like that, your first ignorant reaction would be to hate white people forever. You can't hate white people, at least not all white people. They're those in the world, who don't have a hate bone in their body. If they have to be called "white niggers" because they're doing something positive, so be it. If it weren't for the whites faces across America who traveled to Selma in support of the march the civil rights movement wouldn't had been able to make there second attempt towards the Edmund Pettus bridge in 1965. The state troopers were ordered to withdraw from the beatings. If you really think about it. I wonder why, that is. I understand the concept of "white niggers". For some reason, I think the state troopers rather beat on an actual nigger, more than beating on white people. Dr. King took a bow down and prayed, then backed off their generosity. I don't blame, Dr. King for not trusting them crackers. It's been 50 years now and we still can't trust them crackers. Dr. King didn't want to capitalize on the pale face that were in appearance at the march. There were a few people at the march who felt, as if Dr. King betrayed them.
Dr. King did eventually get the approval from the Selma Judical Committee to have a 5 day march. After all the murder, chaos and mayhem it created by Gov. George Wallace and the Selma's law enforcement, it was only right.
And, just like that we overcame! I encourage everyone to see this film. See how the march on "Selma" changed the projectory in our lives.
