I did get further than that, that was what stuck in my mind. No, I didn't see a "hate whitey" theme coming, just more descriptions of how ugly racism was. The scene where they were trying to collect money from a carpet that was electrified wasn't very pretty. As for HBO or WWF, I don't watch either. Anyway, back later, off to work.

The scene where they were trying to collect money from a carpet that was electrified wasn't very pretty. It wasn't but scenes like this did happen a lot back in the Jim Crow South. What did you want Ellison to do, gloss over conditions that existed back them? BTW, a lot of liberals would have you believe that conditions for blacks haven't changed since then. However, they did change for the better....DRAMATICALLY. Sorry if you were offended by those scenes but that was the reality of the South (and to some extent the North) back about 70 years ago.
