Dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is not a given destiny but the result of an unjust order that engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed

The oppressors do not favor promoting the community as a whole, but rather selected leaders.

Looking at the past must only be a means of understanding more clearly what and who they are so that they can more wisely build the future.

Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.

I found that the writer who says SUBLATA LUCERNA NULLUM DISCRIMEN INTER MULIERES ('when the lamp is taken away, all women are alike') says true; but without love, this great business is a vile thing.

I had a rat-tail when I was younger. I had this nice Bobby Brown fade, with a rat-tail that was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it.

As a viewer, I love watching movies. There has to be an emotional connection.
