about racial discrimination

In May this year, the protests triggered by the death of Floyd, a black American, caused by the violent law enforcement of white police are still ongoing. At the same time, as of now, the new crown epidemic in the United States has accumulated 4.17 million confirmed cases and 140,000 deaths. The diagnosis and death rate are 30% higher than those of whites, but the total population of blacks is less than 15% of the entire United States.

In 2020, 53 years after the Detroit incident, the inequalities in housing, medical care, and living standards between whites and blacks in the United States are still reflected behind the epidemic.

The movie sees the big from the small. What happened in a small hotel actually reflects the entire American society, the unequal status of the white group and the black group. The ending was unexpected but reasonable. I thought that at least in the United States The show will convict three police officers in order to give an explanation to the majority of the black community, but it is not the case. Think about it too, how do you get white people to admit that their cops did something wrong? Just like the Floyd incident this year.

Racial discrimination has always been one of the most deadly problems in the United States. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the legacy of history is too far-reaching. Even after the Civil War, it was only an official change, but in fact, how to solve the resentment and resentment stagnant in the hearts of black people? Who knows when the white supremacy theory lurking in the hearts of some white people will explode again? We ancients have a cloud, not our race, their hearts must be different. Regardless of whether this is biased or not, there is still a long, long way to go.

In addition, "Green Book" and "Crash" are also series of films involving racial discrimination that left a deep impression on me, and they are also recommended.

    The middle half of the three stars is very good, but I have a big question why not tell the truth, the partner fired the toy gun? ? ?

    The whole process of the hotel incident was too hard to watch, the darkness was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe. Bigelow is as tough and stern as always, I really admire him! When I watched the portrait of the black crowd in front, I always thought that it was really like a David Simon drama, but there were actually several actors in the degenerate street behind. The bloody history is there, but some people only see political correctness.
