Reflection on Mississippi Burning

During the last few LA lessons, Mr Lundberg has allowed us to watch the movie "Mississippi Burning". From this movie, I feel that prejudice is a very frightful thing. In the movie, the whites from Mississippi were prejudice against the coloured folk, they burnt down their houses, kidnapped them and even killed some of them. The whites and coloured folks were not even allowed to share a water fountain. I feel that it was very cruel of the whites to treat the coloured people like this. Even though they might look different, they are still humans and thus should be treated equally like everyone else. The coloured folks lived in fear that the whites might come and kill them. Instead of reporting to the FBI, the coloured folks did not try to fight back, rather, they thought that if they did not disturb the whites, the whites would not come to disturb them, which was not at all true. It would be much better and peaceful for everyone if everyone lived in harmony, no fighting and no prejudice.
