Do The Right Thing

During the reign of NAZI Germany a silversmith
was targeting wealthy NAZI families.
He was captured and prosecuted in a Ver Mark
court.
He wasn't Jewish, but he did violate the NAZI
Law.
He dissolved his victims in a barrel of silver polish.
He was hanged for his murders.

Ironically, this same court had sent many Jews to
their deaths in concentration camps.
They saw no contradiction in their judgment.
That is the final solution for racist courts.
First the Jews were arrested for suspected threats
against the state, then they were condemned to death.

Spike Lee, is a filmmaker and as such is aware of the
power of propaganda.
I applaud his attempt to educate the general public
on racism.
However, I am cynical about changing the film making
industry.
This is show business and white Arian heroes are still
adored.. Jesus, was not a Swede.
Jesus was a Palestinian with a dark complexion.
There are a large number of Christian Palestinians.
They were the first Christians.

Maybe Spike Lee could make a historically accurate film
about the black Jesus.
But, how many tickets would it sell?
Many white Christians reject the black Jesus.
The Jews were taken into slavery by Egyptians, Babylonians,
and Romans.
This effected their blood lines.
Some Jews became lighter in complexion.
Even a fundamentalist Christian must except this.

That is the power of racism to make God white.
Silly, but sadly true.
We are obsessed with our complexion.
I like a movie that challenges my preconceived perception.
It's enlightening.
