Crash
Before break we watched the movie Crash in class. While this is a fictional movie it still served as a valuable lesson to me. I think the most influential scene was in the very beginning after Sandra Bullocks character is mugged. The scene where she starts yelling at her husband to have a new person change her locks because the one they had know she feared was going to sell the keys to his gang banger friends. She made this assumption solely based on how he looked she never once talked to him. If she had she would have found out that he was a loving family man who has a daughter that he loves very much and is doing anything to provide her with a good life. I think this serves as a valuable lesson for all of us as we cannot judge people based on how they look we must talk with them to truly understand their story and personality. This is something that I will no do. I will try to hold judgement on people until I truly do know there story and I think all of us should do the same.

I completely agree. You can never judge someone by their apperence. Even though in this case in the movie, he implicit racisim was right.
