13 minutes in and the waterworks have begun

I just started watching this and have already cried. I cry because even though Dido Elizabeth Belle was born in 1761, 200 years before desegregation in the US, tjose same attitudes still remain. At this point in time 253 years later we have nasty, hateful, vicious, cruel and malicious people who still feel that black people are beneath them. I cry because in the year 2014 people hide behind 'freedom of speech' and 'religious freedom' and any other excuse they can think of to treat people different than themselves as something beneath them. I cry because I am a bit ashamed of my fellow human beings. I cry because I can't even fathom what God must be thinking (and I mean everybody's God, not just mine). Heck, I even wonder if in my lifetime we will not be visited by beings from other planets because humans as a whole are cruel, vicious, voracious and treat this planets as though we are the only ones living here. Like I said, I just started watching. I can't imagine how the rest of the movie will hit me.
