    Default ‘The Underground Railroad’ tells an unflinching story of slavery

    “Some of these images can be very triggering for an audience. I also knew that there’s an aspect of this period in American history that it sometimes feels like the country doesn’t want to acknowledge,” he said.

    At the center of “Underground Railroad” is a young Black girl, Cora (Thuso Mbedu), who lives on a Georgia cotton plantation. She escapes her sadistic master (Benjamin Walker) to find the long-fabled railroad. In Whitehead’s novel as well as Jenkins’ version, it’s an actual railroad that shuttles escaped slaves to freedom, or the closest they can find in a country overrun by power-hungry white people.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Too bad you're not willing to hear the unflinching story of blacks who are more likely to be killed by other blacks than by whites or cops. That leftists have perpetrated lie after lie about "systemic" racism just to create chaos and division. You people are masters of the actual "big lie". You're evil.

    I wonder why so many blacks like Guano are racist towards Asians? The Chinese were treated very badly in the US, yet without them and the Irish, there would have been precious few railways. I suspect much of the answer lies in pure jealousy, Asians do far better educationally and economically than US blacks, as do African blacks likeGhanaians and Nigerians.

    How many Asians are held in slavery by 'black' Americans? How many village idiots have the trumpfarts recruited to waste everyone's time on here with their vacant crap?
