Moore Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:18:26 +0000 #comment-824410 Spike Lee, Red Tails was made, so is there any reason why you cannot put together a group and make the long awaited movie of the 761st? One of the tragic reasons blacks are killing blacks is we have not recognized the many sacrificial lambs of the black race. There should be so much recognition of the many sacrifices made by the blacks, so that we would have more heroes to celebrate and to emulate. It has been said I know, but it is awful how much the black race has been so patriotic only to get their color thrown back into their face. I cannot understand why the caucasin race is so fearful to this day of the black man, after all isn't this what he wanted from us when he bred us in the slave quarters? We are superior in so many ways because we were taught to survive and we have demonstrated with God on our side nothing is impossible, even being President of these United States. Spike Lee,
