MOVIE REVIEW: THE HATE YOU GIVE

Bang! bang! Shots fired out. Loud cries......."Don't shoot"!, Heard from a young lady. Starr. Whose screams and painful eyes were a witness to her young friend Khali, shot by policemen while trying to take his hair brush, from a bag. Tears. Wails. Lies. Injustice. Early death. Confusion. A distorted teenage mind on where to lay, in the code of law. The hate you give...... Starring

1. Sanaa Lathan

2. Anthony Makcie

3. Common

4. Issa Rae

Tells a tale of true outright cold-blooded killing of black people who are doing no wrong other than...... Be a different skin color.

It's a heart rendering film where the real heart of some white men is exposed and there in exposing to light, what we as individuals go through in Life. 

For example, a light or dark skinned  young and unmarried woman, being a Target of hate, by another woman who happens to be married with kids. Causing emotional and mental stress to the unmarried woman who really has done no wrong.

A student in the classroom being the target of a fradulent lecturer who had decided to mentally cause her stress because she is refusing his sexual advance.

 A toddler at school being the target of ridicule and harsh treatments because the teacher is envious of his family's wealth and togetherness.

A male student being the target of bad boys, simply because of his Lifestyle and seriousness with his studies and refusal to do as they wish.

Racism.... A crime beyond any human comprehension. The greatest crime of all. This is not because they are God's creations, but because they are proudly wearing their skin colors, from my observation, totally a happy population, with or without finances, and rarely in trouble.

 These are the reasons some men sends their neighbors ....... Six feet.

Try, fellow readers to....... Love the neighbor as thyself.

THE SILENCE OF OMISSION

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
