Oprah Explains Why 'Selma' May be Her Most Important Movie Yet

Oprah Winfrey gave ET's Nancy O'Dell a behind the scenes look at her new movie -- the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic Selma.

I havent seen the movie Selma, but I really dont like period how the public portrays Malcolm X, they both had good strategies but I really do believe that now we see the results of Dr.King's strategy in the long term in a way of the non-violent scheme which
display's weakness which the dominant culture uses as incentative to kill young blacks and whomever they wish without consequence, but I do like Oprah Winfrey, she needs to do more as far as for blacks who needs to see what life is about and some black history to know that we are something, we are important. Mayb a movie of that statue might can let some africans see that what and where we came from and what we should b doing together instead of falling for the dominant culture games

David seems to have an accent of some sort.

[roter]

can we start making roles for african americans that are not about slavery, gangs, or the civil rights movement?

[kimflash]

Yes, MD, it is what it is. The racial epithet
dont appeal to me either but im not always going to turn the other cheek. And l very much dont like the bullying that goes on which will most likely get an outburst from me. You've been around much longer than l...no doubt...lm just a new kid on the block, lol, but im learning to curb it a little.
There are many issues going on with outlaw inforcement that im aware of...more than you think...over all, l like to see that these ppl are scutinized and screened for any adverse organizations clubs and fraternities that they (may) belong to since there personal memberships may have an adverse affect on thier job performance.

Hey Oprah what ever happened saying Nigerians are a scam cause the world's richest black lady is a Nigerian. Oh now you seem to like David Oyelowo well he is Nigerian.

At least get the facts strait. The movie Selma is not worthy of any awards.
