One quote I  found important in Baldwin documentary I Am Not Your Negro is that “It is not a racial problem. It is a problem of whether or not you’re willing to look at your life and be responsible for it, and then begin to change it.” In this quote Baldwin is trying to say that your life is in your hand and it’s up to you how you want to live your life. He is saying that the problem was not about racial. Just because you are black that does not mean that you don’t deserve a good life. You should control your life and you are responsible for your own goods. You should raise your voice and fight for your rights. Fight for a good life. Black people didn’t want to change their lives. They didn’t want to look at their lives and see the truth. Because they just excepted the life they had being a negro. Baldwin was trying to tell the black people that look at your life and look at the white people’s life. You are also a human and you also deserve a life like the white people. Another quote that I found important in Baldwin documentary is that “The story of the Negro in America is the story of America, and it is not a pretty story”. In this quote he is saying that Negro made the American history. It’s a shameful history of racial inequality that took place in American history. Black people had no voice, no rights and no life. They were controlled by white people. They were getting treated unfairly by the white people. The story of negro was a sad story of black people and how they used to be treated by the White people and that was reason behind the civil rights moment happened.Â
