N*gger is just another word for guilty.
Less than 100 miles away from me is a town that is a reminder of the hatred that exists in those who grew up in the rural South. I just read Olympia Vernon’s book on a similar subject, so it is fresh in my mind. The inhumanity of man towards our fellow man is incomprehensible to me. Whether it is Schindler’s List or Rosewood, it is hard to understand. We only have each other, and to think than any one of us is better than the other is pure crap.This film hits hard. It will move you to tears and anger you at how some people close by are seething with hatred. I would even go so far as to say that if it doesn’t viscerally affect you, then you are either dead or part of the problem.
The film itself features outstanding performances by Ving Rhames, Jon Voight, Don Cheadle, Esther Rolle and many others. Their work will hopefully inform the viewer of this great tragedy and remind them that it is not something in the past. Florida’s election fiasco of 2000 and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina serve as evidence that the State and federal government is full of racists who continue these acts today.
events that led up to other unpleasant things
Part of what makes “Rosewood” so hard to watch – but I recommend it very much – is not only that it really happened, but also the thought that the events portrayed may have partly been the root of what happened in Florida in 2000. With this vicious racism so deeply ingrained in our society, it’s no surprise that Florida’s government deprived a number of African-Americans of their right to vote. For more information about these sorts of things, read James Loewen’s book “Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong”.But anyway, this is a great (and I would say under-appreciated) movie. Jon Voight, Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Michael Rooker and Muse Watson all do a great job in their roles. Definitely one of John Singleton’s really good ones.
