Which was based on a true story too. it was also about separate proms, one for white and one for black….but this one was in georgia, i think.

and i just watched the documentary. its kinda scary that this is a little more common than we realize.

i found the parents to be pretty pathetic…they dont mind spouting off their hate…but like most modern racists…they love the benefits that come with no one knowing your true colors…so they keep it private….

if you have to hide it, you know thinking that way is wrong then.

its weird…you couldnt even get to me to go my junior or senior prom in high school….i wouldnt even step foot at any school dances or activities at that school there.

my school had its race problems too, but not to extent as their school, in fact the prom king at the senior prom from my high school was a really cute biracial guy( he was preppy and popular too)…go figure lol.

Thanks for the gist of it Tiff. Morgan Freeman also did the March of the Penguins movie. I bet he gets paid by the word now. It’s good that he is actively trying the change the status-quo in Mississippi, but it angers me beyond belief that there is a need in this day and age. At this point I have nothing more to say because every sentence I think of involves swearing and profanity., so I’ll leave it at that. My interactions with southerners have always been ‘memorable’, to say the least.

Had friends who grew up like that and it was interesting hearing how they went through that..and still in the 21st century?

Good for Mr. Freeman.

I give Morgan Freeman props for exposing this! I am curious if they had 1 prom in 2009? Couldn’t find anything on that.

The parents should be ashamed of themselves! But also what cowards they are to not ever want to show their face and get a lawyer( are you kidding me). I am so proud of the students in this, they are our FUTURE!!!!
