Bowling for Columbine
WOW. This was one of the most sobering films I've seen in my entire life! This should be mandatory material for every high school in Amerikkka man. Seriously, everybody should have to watch this video, ya'll. It puts so much in perspective it's ridiculous. It was wonderful to see something done by a white man that captured many of the sentiments that I have as a black man. That feeling of, "Okay, somebody knows what's going on...everybody isn't pretending to be oblivious." The subject matter that was tackled, and how it was approached and executed will leave you speechless. If you have not seen or heard of this movie, you simply must see it immediately. Parents need to sit down with their kids and have a dialogue about this... After all, that's what's really affecting our kids more than anything right now: No dialogue. Nobody talks to our youth dog, they talk about them and around them. They fear them, shy away from them, persecute them, but never talk to them. Kids of this generation have no emotional ties to the civil rights era, which is a travesty in itself. Before I go on another tangent and open up a large discussion, please, take the time and see this movie. The entire premise of the movie (it's really a documentary) revolves around guns and fear. That subject matter ties in everything from the Columbine High tragedy to the Iran Contra affair. It's deep, ya'll.
Peace (for real!)
