Your quote:

But in the book, there were other white women who weren't like her, so it's not a broad brush against all white people.

Yes, absolutely agree with you.

Point was that I was trying to make, is that in these films there is always the one absolute nasty person who is white. At one time (to inject some humour here), I read a complaint by a black actor that he could not get a part to play an evil heavy. The black person got parts as almost a saintly persecuted or misunderstood individual. No doubt true to life at one time. Perhaps that is changing though.

I don't have a knee-jerk reaction to the bad whitey portrayal. Some white folks is just MEAN! ;o)

We just got back from seeing the movie. It's as good as I thought it would be. LOVED Minnie; she reminded me of my cousin, Debbie. Hubby recognized some parts of his hometown, and we hope to check out some of the locales when we go for his 40th high school reunion later this year!
