I didn't take it that way. Part of it was about the family fleeing but it was also about the Indian family being prejudiced against black people. I remember the exchange between the women, and it just happens to be true. I've met Indian women like that. I've also met Africans of a certain asian extraction who are worse than Indians from the continent. Besides I'd have to check to make sure but wasn't the reason they put the movie in MS was because many Ugandas immigrated there? I don't know.

I wonder if they ever make a movie about Oprah and her childhood in MS, will they make her out to be Eliza from Uncle Tom's Cabin escaping from the Simon Legree sheriff of Jackson?.....

You weasled out of it pretty good. I predict that when old Bob dies, (his name on every slab of concrete in the state will remain forever...lol...much like Carl D. Perkins in my part of Kentucky) the next Senator from the Mountaineer state will be a Republican.

It's good to be from the south.
