I see movies like that, about how black people were treated back then and seriously want to tell Jackson and Sharpton to STFU. Damn, good movie based on a true story, but it pissed me off to no end. Like Tuskegee Airmen, Men of Honor, and Rosewood. I know it's probably the only thing some people knew in the past but I don't think there is a way I could have ever treated someone like that based on something like color.

Jesse and Al need to seriously STFU. They think it's bad? They think America sucks? I wish I could time machine their asses back to that time if they think it's so bad now.

Stop bumping my post down, f'er. :lmao:

On the contrary, Jesse and Al need to study those episodes and learn how REAL MEN excelled in spite of adversity and injustice rather than running around with bullhorns demanding handouts.
Of course a lot of whities could learn from these moments as well.
Charles Drew is a particularly heartbreaking episode. He invented the method of seperating blood from plasma so it could be stored but he bled to death after an accident because the hospital he was taken to was for whites only.

I'm not sure if that was the movie I saw, but PBS had a documentary on Vivien Thomas some time last year. It was very good.

That is an urban myth:

Charles Drew died on April 1, 1950 when the automobile he was driving went out of control and turned over. Drew suffered extensive massive injuries but contrary to popular legend was not denied a blood transfusion by an all-White hospital - he indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the experienced physicians attending to him. His family later wrote letters to those physicians thanking them for the care they provided. Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored and respected figures in the medical field and his development of the blood plasma bank has given a second chance of live to millions.

Don't feel bad I had always thought that one to be true too.
Then again I had learned in school if you throw a penny off the Empire State building that it would kill a person if it hit them. Mythbusters showed me that one wasn't true. :-)

I bet if you throw someone off the Empire State building and they land on a penny that would do some damage. :evillaugh:
