Stitches

Question: After seeing stitches who do you sympathize more with, the Jews or the African-Americans?
After seeing stitches I still sympathize with both the Jews and the African-Americans. I sympathize with both groups because both are misunderstood and both have experience discrimination and pain from their losses. Rev. Cannon Doctor Heron Same said, "we are at a Mexican standoff", "its going to happen again and again." Rev. Cannon Doctor Heron Same meant that their will always be racial tension between groups of different ethnicity's because one group will always feel that they are being wronged and that they are misunderstood. From watching the movie some people ideal of peace is being invited and being welcomed lets say like a Jew would welcome another Jewish person into their home. I do not think that idea of peace will be achieved because like the Jewish person said..their customs are way to different because they could not go to an African-Americans house and be welcomed in the same way because their religion separates them. I do not believe that the Jews and the African-Americans had to fully understand each others cultures and customs, but I just felt what they needed was a mutual respect and basic knowledge of one another. They did not have to welcome each other in to each others home if one group was uncomfortable but they do need to acknowledge and love the other group because after all people aren't to different from one another.
