Just for this
I made an account just for this. This has to be the most amazing video i've seen on NG. I have this favorited and will watch over and over. Great Job.
Reviews for ""Strange Fruit""
Good flash
I found it heartwrenching, definitely. As a white woman, however, I can't help but add that reverse discrimination is just as big as a problem. It was quite a few years ago that slaves were used in the states, and I think that if we want racism to be gone and forgotten, we should stop reminding ourselves of it.
I mean, honestly? I'd like to see some scholarships that don't care if you're white, black, Jewish, etc. I don't get anything for being me, and yet so many others do.
Bash my post all you want, I just had to add it. Racism against whites is still racism.
J-qb responds:
I won't bash your post. I agree that racism against whites is also racism. Why do you think I put in "dedicated to ALL victims of racism, past present and future". This video was meant as a statement against racism/hate. Not directed at a certain group who I feel is responsible for it. I think we are (almost) all responsible for it.
Heartbreaking and poetic.
My heart sank when I saw this. The message is powerful and saddening, truly this deserves a 10 for my rating. I also feel guilty in myself for the arrogance of my southern ancestors if they ever done this. Bravo, J-qb, bravo.
J-qb responds:
You shouldn't feel sorry for your ancestors. that's the whole point. Poeple should be judged by their actions, not by what they look like or what their parent/grandparents/ancestors did.
Great
Nothing to say more...
Touching
Im still crying, many in my family died because of racism
