SELMA documents the need for immediate Confederate States reparations . . .

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2015)

. . . and may have merited a rating of "10" instead of an "8" if it had been just a little more shrill and strident about this (at least in the final updates section at the end, as opposed to generally lulling younger audience members to sleep throughout its low-key 128-minute running time). SELMA shows future U.S. Congressman John Lewis being billy-clubbed by Alabama state troopers. If the Conferate States are assessed a measly $10,000 for each illegal and racist cop club stroke from 1865 through 1965, you're up to trillions in long overdue payments there alone. SELMA pictures four young church girls being blown up in a bombing egged on by a Confederate State government. At just $1 million per life illegally lost at the governments' behest from 1865 through 1965, that's many more trillions. SELMA portrays a white Boston priest kicked to death with the blessing of Alabama Governor George Wallace, and when you add in white Detroit marcher Viola Liuzzo (gunned down on the final day of the March) and the 300,000 white Blue Staters slaughtered for Black Rights in the Civil War, that's many more trillions delinquent (the lack of which caused Detroit's bankruptcy, and a sea of red ink in the other Blue States). Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia must make a start toward lagging reimbursements by immediately sending three-fifths (60%) of ALL their local and state tax revenue to the Blue States (to use as America's protectors see fit). Similarly, three-fifths of the Confederate Congressional seats MUST be reapportioned (along with one U.S. Senate seat per Rebel State) to the American Values Guardian States, Confederate-born U.S. Supreme Court justices MUST be ousted, and three-fifths of ALL U.S. military personnel (plus ALL government vendor factories and nuclear weapons) MUST be relocated to Blue States. SELMA illustrates that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The existing U.S. Supreme Court recently nullified the 1965 Voting Rights Act (which was the whole point of the SELMA marches), and there were news stories this week that Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King's children are so desperate that they have to sell off his Nobel Peace Prize and Bible. So, what do we want? As SELMA preaches, change! When do we want it? NOW!
