This is probably the most powerful movie out right now, specifically for the African American and I highly recommend it. This is not conspiracy theory, political, militant, or a religious type deal here and its even a step deeper than racism itself. This is real. I won’t go into it now because I want to give you a chance to go and see it. I’ll just say this: the movie is symbolic of the traumatic experience that black people have been subjected to in America since we got here. Your mind has been put into subjection since the moment you stepped foot into this land and the exposure of such high-level witchcraft is present in this movie. You have been under a spell since stepping foot on these shores. Or from the movie’s perspective, since you’ve stepped foot into that house.
Carter G. Woodson said that once you control a man’s mind you do not have to worry about his actions. You don’t have to tell him to go to the backdoor. Control his mind enough and he will carve one out for his special benefit. Why? Because his education makes it necessary.
The silent auction itself was very powerful. What is a silent auction and what is it symbolic of? Where do modern auctions of today descend from? Oh, so you think there just happens to be people bidding on paintings and furniture and that just came from, what? And what is silence? Silence is representative of a secret, something being done without someone else knowledge. Something hidden. What are they trying to tell you is still going on? Why did Martin Luther King Jr., say that he ran into people who had never seen money? Farming, but have never seen money? This thing is real. Watch the movie.
If you have not already read The Willie Lynch Letter, I recommend that too. Read that and then watch this movie and we’ll talk about it later.
I won’t say anymore, I’ll wait. Go see it. It’s worth the money.

Oppression is oppression. The difference I think is psychological. There’s a mental hold America has on blacks that is unique. The South African knows he is oppressed. The black American thinks he is not, more so that he is free. Its like Harriet Tubman once said, “I freed one thousand slaves. I could have freed one thousand more had they known they were slaves.

I saw the movie on Friday, and it was awesome! It’s sad, but expected, that black people still face these issues in 2017. At this point, I don’t think racism will ever go away. Sure, we’re progressing as a society, but our history is too paved in blood.

Additionally, I think we have to ask ourselves why things are not different aside from racism. Why is our condition here the same as it was in the 60s.
