Positive spiritual replenishment

Know why I like Denzel Washington, a veteran black movie star? Because of his temperament, expression, and those eyes that showed the light of his soul. The roles he has played have never disappointed people, because his self-discipline and tolerance ensure the quality and thickness of his performances. This film is the second film he has directed and acted in, and he is more adept at handling it. In the film, he was willing to be a human ladder and only acted as a mentor. He gave up the role of Dian Shou to the younger generation, and the three young students who played the role of the young Dian Shou also performed commendably and supported the scene. The whole film uses debate, a traditional spiritual activity competition, to evoke an inspirational look. If you want to find positive spiritual supply for yourself, watching "The Great Debater" should be a good choice.

Melvin B. Tolson: Take the meanest, most restless nigger. Strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers, and nigger infants, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire, and beat both horses until they tear him apart in front of male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of God in them, for they can be useful for future breeding. Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand. No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies. The slave-masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves, so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods. The word "lynching" came from his last name. His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical. Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master. Keep the body, take the mind.
