Such a sad story and sickening that it's a true story! Racism is an evil thing that brings out true evil in people and this movie shows just how evil racism can be and is! To all my black brothers and sisters I am so so sorry for the stain that peoples hatred of this country has left upon you and all your ancestors. Let this movie be a testament as to what hatred can do to a person, this movie will show you the end result of hate. I do however love when the characters son leaves and chooses not to hate, and absolutely love Mr. Mann in this movie.

Hate that blacks only make good slave, ghetto, gun and drug violent movies but this was a good movie. Sincere acting. Enlightening. Thought provoking.

Based on a true story. Extremely good movie...sad at the same time. There are so many things you can learn from this movie....hopefully using it in a positive way.
