I stayed an usher for several years, and I worked the concession stand popping popcorn, making sno-cones. My mother, God rest her soul, was a cashier in the movie theater. I used to go to Saturday matinees, when I was four or five, with my grandmother. It cost a quarter to see a movie double feature with a cartoon. So I’ve always loved film. The vilification of a people that comes out of all this saddens me because, in the end, who benefits? We lose. Innocent people get hurt. We lose part of ourselves, because there is anger and hatred.
