I Am Not Your Negro

What does his work say about us now?
You can see how the past and the present in the film are pretty much the same situations.With the difference that this time people are trying to be less open with their opinions about civil rights and more importantly, America is trying to transmit an image of change when there is not.  However, this time media has a greater role than before. You can clearly see nowadays, how information is shared throughout the world faster and now people from different parts of the world are aware of what’s happening with the fights for the civil rights in the US. Therefore, there are more people support this cause not only in America but in several other countries. But, even with this support, people seem like they don't want to truly learn or even more, open their minds to changes. Although you can see some changes, for example, people are not that open about expressing their racism than before. Of course, that’s because they are gonna be judged not only for their country but worldwide (media's role). To clarify, America has made some changes in order to end the inequality, however, there are still things to learn and a long way to go in order to end with it.
