Rommel Domulot 10/18/12 I was shocked watching the movie on how Whites treated Blacks like trash‚ it was very unpleasant to watch. Since 1865 president Lincoln abolished slavery and then a little decade ago they still continue to enslave the Blacks. It was like just a dream for now‚ but still a terrible nightmare. Also about the movie‚ I was confuesd on the Ku Klux Klan; they have a cross to symbolize God and somehow burn it‚ is it a bad thing or good? Anyway to see them doing
