Aint Scared of Your Jails was a very good and interesting movie. It taught the very realistic side of how people were very racist and treated others very poorly. The truth behind it is quite sad and the fact that we still have people like that today is upsetting. In the beginning when a man says, "I wasn't raised with them and don't plan to start now." He is referring to colored people and how he would not get to know them. People would yell, "Nigger!" and being that it is a very racial term, it was offending to many people but they were not able to stop them from yelling it. When blacks would want to be served and the resturaunts would deny them service or say they were closed when they clearly were open. This movie had alot of factual statements and was easy to understand and to get a good look at how cruel people can truely be.

  1. It is interesting to note the prejudice that still exists in America, not just for African Americans but for gays and even women still. The ignorance of some people amazes me.

  2. I cant believe the "N" word was so common back then. People would say it like it was no big deal. Not only is it rude and offensive but it just shows the lack of respect people have for other humans outside of their race.
