In the movie, The Long Walk Home starring Sissy Spacek and Whoppi Goldburg, I felt scared when I found Odessi(Whoppi) got on a bus then the white boys started fun of her. Then when the bus stop she get off the bus and then the bus driver said 'Get off from the bus' to the white boys so they get off the bus then they followed her then they again beat her, later her younger brother came to protact her and he got punched and kicked from the boys because of his skin color. But they didn't say anything. I found bleeding on his face. I don't understand those guys they just beat them and I felt really bad and angry.
