@cptlulz you sound like an idiot! Why are you so angry? The reason these things are made because too many white people like to discount everything that blacks have done threw history and now. The fact that your angry is why this has to be made. Get some help with that anger!

@cptlulz It's even sad to see how a title can instill such an emotion as anger...Haven't you learned not to judge a book by its cover but rather by the content it contains? Educate yourself and GOD bless! I am Purdue...Boiler Up!

@kickersafty34 There is a difference between black and white!

[cptlulz]

@kickersafty34 I didn't say anything negative about the god damned video! Just the title! I never had an inkling of disdain for anything but the title of the documentary, so please, quit telling me to watch the video. You insinuated that I was racist with "The fact that [...] to be made." so yes, I did defend myself. It doesn't need a post racist society to work, because what I'm saying is to stop putting it into the minds of kids that there is a difference between black and white.

@cptlulz And by the way watch the damn video before you get all huffy idot!!!

[kickersafty34]

@cptlulz Your the idot. Your calling me an idot because I called you out. You sir need help. What you say would only work in a post racist society but you chose to ignore that it isn't equal and that any thing with first black anything would make you angry shows you how racist you are because I didn't call you racist but that's the first thing you said. I gave a simple answer and you respond with I'm not racist. Usually people who feel they have to say that usually are racist. moron!

[cptlulz]

@kickersafty34 No, Sir or Madame. You sound like an idiot. I am no racist, nor am I an intolerant bigot. The fact of the matter is that by upholding a difference between "Black" and "White" individuals we perpetuate a mental segregation that will be fostered in the minds of the youth to come. Why can't it just be people is why the title makes me livid. Those people who discount history will die and become it. Let us let them have their time, and give the youth a clean slate.

@CrazyJJoker If you had bothered to read the entirety of my comment you would have noticed that I never said the documentary promotes segregation. I simply stated that titleing things like this promotes the idea of segregation. I would have said the same thing if it had been "White Purdue". No, actually I lied, if it was titled "White Purdue" the documentary would have been racist and white supremacist. I digress, what I was saying is that the title. Not the documentary itself makes me angry.

@cptlulz This comment shows your ignorance...maybe you should actually watch the documentary before criticizing...this documentary does not promote segregation especially since one of the goals of the producers in making this film was to create an environment welcoming and comfortable for any audience....You lack knowledge in the fact that equality has not been fully earned not only in respect to Blacks but also with many other groups of people in general....
