self defense

For the disadvantaged groups that are discriminated against, hundreds of years of efforts have not been able to fully integrate into the world of white people. What is the so-called equal treatment of black people in a free country in the United States?

The Xinjiang Gang has a bad reputation across the country, so are we discriminating against them? Are we afraid of them? Divide this kind of thing? Not my race?

It's very confusing to type casually, but in fact, I think the best movie to explain this point of view is "CRASH", without any partiality, to discuss this impossible problem from the perspective of human nature, it is something that requires both parties to work hard at the same time, that way things are actually difficult.


The final major theme of the film is morality. In fact, morality does not require norms, it is self-cultivation. The success or failure of a country depends on the morality of the whole people. But it’s not that things like virtue become virtue because everyone does it.

I heard from a colleague that the girl who was chasing the thief on the road kept asking passersby for help, but no one paid any attention. The students who saw the injustice were violently beaten, but no one cared about it, including the parties involved silently walked away. What's this? This requires the virtue of the whole people. What would I do if I moved from place to place? I'll be a silent person too? Yes, why?

It's a film about debate, a black self-defense, an indictment of inequality, and I'm talking about morality, which is off topic.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • 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.

  • Henry Lowe: School's the only place you can read all day. Except prison.
