I just read the summary for 'Just Mercy' on themoviespoiler.com and it makes me think of 'Ghosts of Mississippi' a great deal. Why was it ever acceptable for black people to be treated like animals and why was it okay for whites to declare 'hunting season' on black people? Why was skin color considered a big enough deal for there to be human slavery and why was it okay for Klansmen to murder equality advocates like Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King Jr. in cold blood just because they were black? It's 2020 and I feel like we've regressed back to those terrible days after working so hard in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's to achieve a sense of racial equality that's by no means perfect, but better than it was. We as a society seem to be losing that ground and I can't figure out why anyone would want to destroy that equality or demean its existence. Anyone have any thoughts?
