I saw Watermelon Man on TV when I was a kid. I didn’t know what I was watching. When I saw the main character, who was in his white phase, I thought, “this is the ugliest dude I have ever seen”. Then the character turned black (the actor stopped wearing white makeup), and I realized “it” was not just skin deep. There is a lot more than just pigment between us.
A very educational film.
A little known (now) good one.
His son Mario should have gotten together with 90s singer Pebbles. She could have been Pebbles Van Peebles.
Skin color is irrelevant, even physical characteristics are low importance.
What distinguishes us is culture. A black skinned redneck is culturally closer to a white skinned redneck than either is to a manhattanite.
