I just finished watching the movie Crash for the first time & thought it was BRiLLiANT!
I highly recommend everyone rent it & definitely agree with its 2006 Oscar for Best Picture!
In response to some people's accusations toward the future administration of our new President Elect AND to this eye-opening flick...here are my afterthoughts...two quotes from one of my idols, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Also, despite whom you voted for, I think we can all agree what an unbelieveable STEP for OUR COUNTRY this election was regarding racial barriers. It was so AMAZiNG to watch such a historical election night unfold in MY lifetime! It was particularly special to me after my SIMPSON Spring Break Mission Trip to Southern Alabama last March. Me & 9 students visited all the Civil Rights Monuments & Museums, attended a service @ Brown Chapel, listened to original Civil Rights foot soldiers' stories, saw pictures & films of the indescribable horrors people endured, AND participated in the reenactment of the Bloody SundAy March across the Edmund Pettis Bridge. One cannot comprehend what happened to INNOCENT HUMAN BEiNGS without seeing it firsthand. I never could have imagined.
So, hopefully over the coming years, our divided country can truly become the wonderful UNiTED States of America.

“An individual has not started living until he can RiSE ABOVE the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the BROADER concerns of ALL HUMANITY.”
"Whatever affects ONE DiRECTLY, affects ALL INDIRECTLY. I can never be what I ought to be until YOU are what YOU ought to be. This is the INTERRELATED structure of REALiTY."
