(35 posts)all the actors are Oscar worthy, very well done. It does indeed capture all the ugly elements of slavery and the brave people who somehow survived it, many were not that lucky. When you are sold naked and considered animals things are not going to turn out so well. Especially with people who feel God is on their side. It was a great way for pedophiles to own their desires along with those men who felt because they were no better than animals they could use these people in any perverted way they felt fit. I become ill when ignorant people talk about how good the slaves had it. Oh really go to the South see what circumstances people were held and paid for and used and abused tortured and murdered, so very sad. They always act like they were benevolent souls. It is not surprising that so many of the Klan had black blood when they did DNA tests they ended taking them and claimed they were untrue.
