After watching “I Am Not Your Negro” By James Baldwin one quote that attracted me was “People cannot bear too much reality.” This sentence describes there is a huge meaningful disparity in the way view ourselves and our universe. We often protect ourselves with delusions and distractions to escape from the reality because somewhere we all know that the reality will hurt. Such as the misery created by the racial regime in the Deep South persisted even further than it should have, however, when the violence was brought under the light an unusual extent of anti-black fanaticism that for decades had occurred there. Additionally, another quote that drew my attention when James Baldwin said “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it has been faced. History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise we are criminals.” This quote has so much meaning as well as inspiring because what he said is very true. It is criminal to be in ignorance of the enormously destructive influence of that history. In this world, black people can’t restore the damages that have been done. Which must be performed by white people. History is the present, brought within us, and replicated before effective attempts to avoid and reverse direction are made. Although to be responsible for the past and taking responsibility for the damages is challenging but it shows dignity. Therefore, we all have to open our eyes and see the reality and take an effective step to bring a change and making sure history doesn’t repeat itself.
