Racist Hunger Games Fans Are Very Disappointed

Racist Hunger Games Fans Are Very Disappointed

 I feel stupid and naive that I am still surprised to see how much the people in this country despise black people. *sigh* Most of the time I don't even comment on or share these stories because I'm just overwhelmed by sadness and defeat.  I usually just read the articles and watch the reports and cry by myself in my apartment.  I used to be young and fiery.  Now I'm just tired and defeated.  How can I not feel that way when a man says that he did not mourn the death of a character he loved in the book because she was portrayed by a black girl in the movie.  How much more can we take, God?  How can we truly love ourselves when the world hates us from the moment we are born? What is there to hate about a little black girl? How much can you hate someone you don't know? What is my motivation to bring a beautiful black boy or girl into this world to be shot down like an animal or reviled and despised by the whole world?
