This is my first time to read Baldwin ‘s works. After watching the movie “I Am Not Your Negro”, I took a long deep breath about this racial discrimination history. And it gives me a lot messages to think about. Everyone is born equal, isn’t it? Even though we are different colors, we are both god’s creatures, like brothers. Hence, why always brothers are fed up with his brothers and why brothers murder his brothers? According to Baldwin’s last statement in the movie, “I’m forced to believe that we can survive whatever we must survive, but the negro in this country, the future of negro in this country, is precisely as bright or as dark as the future of the country. It is entirely up to the American people are not representatives, whether or not they are going to face and deal with, and embrace the stranger they have maligned so long.””The white population of this country has got to ask itself, North and south, because it is one country, and for the negro, there is no difference between the north and the south, it is just a difference in the way they castrate you, but the fact of the castration is the American fact.” I agree with him. Nowadays, racial discrimination is still a ubiquitous social problem. As a person in 21st century , I’m inclined to say that people should live in harmony no matter what color they are. Our world needs love and peace.
