The Intruder (1962) full movie. AKA “Shame” is a low budget Roger Corman film that deals with early integration in the south. William shatner portrays a carpet bagger from the North? Who just shows up to cause trouble. The film is way ahead of its time when you consider the strife we are encountering in 2020. Watch it! - Broken Trout -

    So much time has passed and nothing changed, in this regards! It’s very concerning about the future. Who’s to say this wont be the case 60 or 160 years from now?

      I agree, it is extremely concerning, and I hate to say it but if we continue as we are, I don’t know that it won’t be worse than ever by that point.

      The key is education, community, solidarity. Learning to identify the artificial divisions and social constructs that are imposed on us and seeing past them, creating solidarity and support between groups and communities, uniting against our oppressors instead of against other people just struggling under them alongside us. It might seem impossible when our current world is all we know, but it can be better, we just need to see beyond the limits we’ve been set by those with a vested interest in keeping us captured and struggling.

          Yeah, it really is easy to do, you’re not alone there… I can’t lie, I don’t know that any positive change will happen in my lifetime, but I’m confident it can happen at some point, so the best I can do is promote the ideas that I think will lead to the best outcome. The more people who are able to envisage solutions outside of our enforced and artificial systems and constructs, the better the chances of breaking free from them!
