Aug 20, 2008 - have some respect for this video. it's about segregation, and look what's being commented!Mavis Staples did a wonderful job here and proved his point. this is a truly moving video, and your horrible comments are ruining it.

Aug 20, 2008 - He's tryna get away. I've watched this several times now and every time it comes to the bit where he is attacked I want to cry. The black people who protested in those marches showed so much bravery and dignity. They ought to all get some kind of award from the government for their actions back then.

Aug 20, 2008 - You're dumb if you think they deserve an award. They weren't doing anything special, only standing up for their rights. They were brave, but not special.

Aug 20, 2008 - I agree and have heard similar from a number of friends. I felt very privileged to have been in the audience and was very impressed to see that she had appealed to a wide range of age groups.

Aug 20, 2008 - Im ashamed of beeing white. Everytime i see these types a movies. Martin Luther King saved quite a bunch of lives, i think.

Antfarm72 Says:

Puppyzluv77 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - thank you for posting
Puppyzluv77 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - dont forget the whites who were on our side though
YingYangadang Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Oh i definetly wont forget them. And they should be proud of themselves. It was an heroic action to be a white non racist at those times, but also lethal. Of course that is why it is heroic ;)
HighLifeSthlm Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - I am ashamed now as a white human. I am so fucking tired of this racist shit.
everybodyhasone Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - don't be ashamed. You havn't done anything wrong. You're just one person. You're not all white people. That kinda thinking is where racism stems from. We're all individuals not to be judged or blamed for the sins of those who simply look like us.Just stay true & human! :)
