It's not like we need to see the evils of it to abolition it, it's been Abington for almost 150 years.
I nearly walked out ofthe screening it was so utterly disturbing.
I feel like the last half hour of the film could have been done better.
But overall, it's a good film IMO. I think it's a tad overrated but it definitely was gut wrenching. When I first saw Roots like ten years ago, that messed me up more but probably cause I was younger.
Most of these people are American and have no idea where that school is, but that's pretty cool.BaastoUnit wrote:The director used to go drayton manor high school,ealing,London.

They are profiting again from slavery.
Remember a substantial amount of slave traders in the new world were Jews/Crypto jews/Associates of Jews.
However due to the negro directer its a bit more palatable.
These stupid negros should never rest until they aqquire what is due to them by force or by begging (there condition now)

I for one won't hand over my cash to Jew/Zionists/parasites aka hollywood.
What if the Negroes want to be enslaved? What if they will starve or be in jail if the white man was not there? What if they didn't know how to survive without white men? 
Hero of the Black man.
Man, Black people are just forever victims. Enslaved by the Spaniads, Portugese, English/Americans, even the Turks and the Arabs. Had the Far East not been too far away they would have enslaved them too. They allowed themselves to be reduced to servitude and did nothing for centuries. I Classify them as only one degree above the Subcontinental inhabitants though, these Timajilics be letting themselves get treat like shit in the modern era by lowly Arabs.
