Hollywood can be a foul beast. Apparently, they don’t like making movies with all black casts because movies like that don’t make money.

But every so often a movie comes along  where making money doesn’t matter. It’s the sort of movie that tells the right story to honor those who deserve it most. I’m here to tell you Red Tails is that movie. And the Tuskegee Airmen are those heroes.

Now, if you’re a white person, the folks in Hollywood are expecting you to skip this film because the heroes are African Americans. Instead of Obi-Wan, you get a brotha named Lightning. And while there’s no Jar Jar Binks (thank God) the  Caucasian types are Nazis and military racists. Your excitement is palpable.

But missing this movie is like ditching class the day you learn one of life’s great history lessons about inspiration and the true beginners of Civil Rights in America. So if you still need a little push to go see the movie, I’ve prepared a something just for you – the 10 reasons white people should watch Red Tails.
