"You and I are now in confrontation but I see no violence" Well said

Oh, wow, he acts it so brilliantly ... and so does Kelvin Klein. It's such a moving, amazing movie - but it's so awful knowing it all happened in reality. We HAVE to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

And after the whites were drive out SA is the crime captial of the world. It's not rocket science.

"sir, blacks are not unaware of the hardships they endure or of what the government is doing to them. we want them to stop living in these conditions, to confront them. people must not just give in to these hardships of life.

they must find some way, even in this evironment, to try develop hope. a better hope for themselves and for this country as well. now i think that is what the black consciousness stands for."

@cre8tah504 Actually, he did get nominated for his portrayal of the slain black civil rights leader... He just lost to a better performance (Al Pacino, in 'Scent of a Woman')... This was 1992, long before actors were shoe ins for an Oscar for playing historical figures (see Phillip Seymore Hoffman, in 'Capote,' and Jamie Foxx in 'Ray').. He did win the British Academy Award for that performance, though, which is still pretty prestigious..
