Hunger Games: What do you mean, the black girl was black?

Have you ever had enough? Have you ever despaired for the human race to the point you just want to give up? Has the current insanity ever gotten you to the point you don't give a damn what these fools do to THEMSELVES?

What have we become in the last 30 years? What has happened to ANY promise America ever had?

Racism totally out of control, greed, meanness beyond belief. Uneducated, ignorant people holding some of the "reins of power".

People willing to injure both themselves and their children just to deny someone an equal share, an equal opportunity.

This a blurb from "Feministe" -- follow link to original, read -- then weep for America.

Hunger Games: What do you mean, the black girl was black?
By Caperton on 3.27.2012

After The Hunger Games was released in the U.S. on Friday, “fans” who hadn’t seen a lot of advance materials got the shock of their lives to see a black character depicted by a black actress. Rue, played by the adorable Amandla Sternberg, was described as having “dark brown skin and eyes”–thus the ruination of the film at the hands of a dark-skinned, dark-eyed actress. And where else would enraged moviegoers turn but Twitter? -- please go to original
