Being raised in California, I had a very different view of everything. We didn't have the segregated areas, and we all went to the same schools and dances etc.<br /><br />I saw The Help today and both my husband and I laughed and cried along with the characters. The human spirit is so wonderful, I feel hopeful about our future, considering our past.<br /><br />Thanks for a very insightful blog. Sorry I'm way late, but I can't keep up with all this stuff!Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-48370639044990467232011-08-14T00:15:42.153-04:002011-08-14T00:15:42.153-04:00Hi LaVerne, my Kiwi friend.

Thank you Vonnie - I'll be looking out for it when it reaches our shores.<br /><br />My God - I find it hard to imagine friends of mine have been through such ignorant and painful times! I remember as a little girl hearing the word 'apartheid' during the evening news and asking my Mum what it meant. When she told me, I was horrified and confused. I did a lot of research on it to find out more and became even more horrified. I just couldn't understand why people were so awful to each other over something that makes no sense. It still makes no sense to me - but hopefully the world is a better place today and it only continues to get better through the generations.<br /><br />Much love to you and Calvin xoLaVerne Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418742073687153863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-74416736757269338822011-08-13T16:51:01.311-04:002011-08-13T16:51:01.311-04:00Vonnie, I heard the movie is really good and plan ...Vonnie, I heard the movie is really good and plan to see it soon. I am glad the racial discrimination is almost gone in the US. But around the world, there are many forms of discrimination that can hurt and destroy. Unfortunately it's not politically correct to expose them.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-37017905879895255682011-08-13T14:53:51.214-04:002011-08-13T14:53:51.214-04:00Vonnie,

It brings to mind another movie I saw when I was a young girl in Detroit. Imitation of Life. That one brought tears to my eyes too.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />MargoMargo Hoornstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036077481652050799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-23222506260204893382011-08-13T14:09:09.780-04:002011-08-13T14:09:09.780-04:00Vonnie,

I have not seen the movie yet either but I plan on it. <br />This brings to mind the way the American Indian has been done. I had friends that are black and let me say they are the best friends in the world. <br />Prejudice has no boundaries when it comes to being an American Indian or Black. I feel they both have a connection in that aspect.<br /><br />Tell Calvin that he is special and also Vonnie you are special. I love to see that there are people left in this world who view all the same<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and always<br /><br />Walk in harmony,<br />MelindaMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206604556437875557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-85078390418964915152011-08-13T13:45:47.683-04:002011-08-13T13:45:47.683-04:00Thanks, Beth.
