VIDEO REFLECTION 2
I AM NOT A NEGRO is more than just a James Baldwin movie. James Baldwin has
been one of the most important voices when it comes to the fight for civil rights. The trailer
makes one question what their role is and if a race is everything in a person’s life. The video
shows the black community been restricted from some of the activities. When a black man is
asking for the freedom they are judged and treated like a criminal. The trailer shows how it is
easy to judge the black community just because of their color. It is easy to judge the black people
just because of them that they look (www.youtube.com). The color of a person’s skin mattered
so much. The only time a black person was really free was when they were engaged in a fight.
Fighting is one way in which they used to really express themselves. The torturing makes a
person wonder if they really have any role to play in the society since there seems to be no value
placed on their lives.
I think that the movie is used as a good tool to show the importance of equality where
there is no discrimination in term of color skin. The trailer also touches on the white supremacy
where the white community is treated as if they are better than the black community. The white
community has been receiving better treatment day in day out. No person should be allowed to
behave like they own the other, whereby they treat the other person like a slave and have them
working for them in very conditions (www.youtube.com). James Baldwin does a great job of
documentation of the events that took place and the treatment that the black community faced.
The movie is an eye opener that each and everyone should watch, it is brilliant piercing and
shows how past event did actually place. The movie is not only a document of the American
racial history but it also warns the rest of the world against racism and cultural differences. This
movie makes one question if racism is still there in our today world.
