You have to excuse me for being nieve...I was born in the early 70's and obviously don't remember life til about 1980...in fact my first really strong memory was from second grade when my parents woke me up to celebrate the Phillies winning the World Series...kept me home from school and went to JFK stadium to see the parade...I really do recall being there....anyway, I guess my Question is: were we really that mean to black ppl, especially up north? I am being totally honest saying I have alot of black friends, and just can't picture being that mean to black ppl...Don't get me wrong, I have seen enough movies and have read enough books to know that racism was really bad, but...seeing the movie "Glory Road" and all they went through, we have come a long way....
I have to say, I work with alot of black ppl and think the world of some of them, almost to the point I don't even see color...but i know i am considered younger than most on this site, and wonder if ppl have strong recoglections of blacks being soooo mistreated!!!
Just to be politically correct, this isn't a thread to create controversey, just wondering if the movies portray things accuretly???
