Bangsa Itu Tali Ukur Part 01

Living in a multiracial country, it is not a shock to see a face with different colours. We have Malays, Indians, Chinese in general. What a variation. (There’s a lot more than these three!). Unfortunately, where there are differences, there will be gap. The biggest gap amongst us human, to me, is race (apart from religion).

If Americans faces white-black community fight, we have a triangle war here in Malaysia. Illuminati War. LOL.

The thing is, why must we fight?

Why can’t we treasure people as who they are, take off that labels of people?

Recently, I watched the movie Red Tails (2012).

It is a movie based on true story – based on the book “Red Tails, Black Wings” by John B Holway. 

In short, it is a movie about the struggle of the Black men to fight for America where White men are resistant to accept Black flyers. Taking Italy in 1944 as the settings, the movie clearly shown racism at its best. It is a World War 2 story about the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, the 332nd Fighter Group and the 447th Bombardment Group of US Army Air Corps.

Note : This is a very cliche movie but enjoyable enough.

Here’s another movie I watched some time ago. Crash(2004).

 

This movie, also, shows racism, but in another scenario which is the racism the society.

When you get upset, when you get mad, you turn red, right?

When you get envious, or sick, you turn green.

When you become cowardly, you turn yellow and y'all got the nerve to call us coloured?

White Officer (when Lightning enters the club) : This is an officer's club.

Lt Joe "Lightning" Little : I am an officer.

White Officer : This is a whites-only officer's club.

These movies make me wonder, should we fight or should we just sit there and accept the hard reality?

*think*

Come on,  how shallow it is to judge people because of their colour? Because of their race?

Over-generealization has taken place. What happen to human?
