The "Red Tails" movie

This movie opened today in SOME theaters.

WAR is a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE thing. I doubt if there has ever been a time of total peace on this earth since Cain slew Able. War impacts so many, in varied lives, in many varied ways.

The world will one day have no more wars. There is promised an AGE TO COME, when the nations will learn war no more; no more schools where warfare is taught. There will come a 1,000 year age, after Jesus has returned to put down all waring nations; when Christ will rule all nations on earth, from Jerusalem, and so will come total worldwide peace. The Spirit of the Lord will be poured out on all peoples, and the heart of man will be CHANGED! The knowledge of the Eternal God will cover this earth as the waters cover the sea beds. All this good news is foretold in the prophetic books of your Bible. I expound all those books on my website.

The New Testament Christian CANNOT partake in the wars of this earth; they cannot be a part of a nation's war machine; for MANY different reasons, all of which I go into in detail in my study on my website called "The Christian and Warfare."

Yet, all that being so, on the human level, I must say I do recognize the human bravery and the human courage people have put forth against evil, when mad-men wanted to conquer the world, such as Hitler and his clones wanted to do in the Second World War.

Then there has been (maybe still is here and there) the DARK side of American history .... the slavery and then the "racism" for decades upon decades towards the African American Blacks.

Many movies have been made in one way or another depicting the vivid racism of America (using the term "America" here to mean the USA) history. It is truly a horrible stain on the birth and rise of the greatest single nations the world has ever seen.

Then within all that context there has risen some individuals or groups of individuals that have stood up to be counted as we say. They stood strong against the racism of the USA, still believed in themselves, educated themselves, and went on to prove whatever the white man could do, so the black man could do also, and sometimes do even better.

This movie is about a group of men, black men, who educated themselves, learned the skill of flying war planes, and were just waiting, wanting, a time to be given to them, when they could show their bravery and skill and courage, against the evil of Hitler.

The movie "Red Tails" is about those black men; the movie is based upon the overall facts of that black-man squadron in the Second World War. Yes some parts are a dramatization (maybe the American black-man and Italian girl falling in love), but the basic facts of this group of super combat flying men is all real.

Very well done movie, giving the black man a show-case of their acting ability, as many individual black men and women have done for us in the past number of decades.

We are all the creation of God, whatever our outward skin color, and all then can climb to their God given abilities and talents, in this lifetime.

War is a HORRIBLE thing, oh indeed so, but this movie "Red Tails" is worth seeing, and remembering that in spite of racism in the USA, many black men fought and died to keep America and the world from being crushed under the heel of a mad-man like Hitler.
