Summary :
In the Night of the living dead by George Romero, a black man slaps a white woman, and is killed by a white man at the end of the film. These two scenes are edited again according to a division of colors related to the race. The black and white and the colorized versions are not exactly the same, Romero's black and white cut shots were transformed into fading in the colorized version. This explains some slight gaps on the screen. This division of colors illustrates the color revolution that Obama's victory in the US represents, neither black nor white.
