, who earned a SAG Award nomination for the role, about "drawing from the matter-of-factness of racism" that he dealt with growing up in Texas. “When I met with Destin, I said, ‘Destin, you have to understand, I was just born. I had nothing to do with being born this color, but it’s interesting how much this color brings out rage, brings out anger, brings out happiness, brings out perception, brings out stereotypes, brings out a whole lot of things when you’re black,’” Foxx recalled.
In conversations with EW, both Foxx and Jordan hoped that viewers would walkaway from the film with a desire to join the fight in their own way. “I just hope it opens their eyes,” said Foxx. “We’re not beyond reality, where everybody is suddenly going to lead the charge, but as long as it’s out there and everybody can rally around it, to where it’s not black or white, it’s just a human thing. This is a movie where everybody feels like they can help.

“There is a strength, a power even, in understanding brokenness, because embracing our brokenness creates a need and desire for mercy, and perhaps a corresponding need to show mercy. When you experience mercy, you learn things that are hard to learn otherwise.
This is how to defuse a situation not incite violence via Twitter in the way the president has over the last five days putting the lives of law enforcement and blacks at risk!
After Warner Bros themselves slashed ray fisher, kiersey clemons, karen bryson & joe mortons scenes from justice league 2017 ?
