If race had nothing to do with it, then why was she wearing a damn confederate flag on her shirt most of the movie?

THINK PEOPLE! I know what I'm looking at, but most people are too dumb to see what they are seeing!!!! My goodness!!!!

Don't you ever use that same ole tone of stop living in the past BS. You are living in the past from all the privileges you have due to your race and the oppression of others.

You have no idea about the world, nor about other cultures and their struggles and the manipulations played on our minds via the media and systemic racism.

You are like a child with no education.

I'm a successful business owner that knows how racism continues and you are a "shut-up" merchant with NO credibility!

[Pearljr]

What an elementary response.  I am WAY beyond that type os shallow thnking. You don't have enough information about the lack of Black men in the Black race family to even begin to understand what I'm saying.

WM owe it to us and much much much more. Learn your history before taking on intelligence and wisdom.

Learn more!

[Pearljr]

Then you are a walking dummy!

[GypsyLeah]

Do you realise you spent 3 minutes on yourself and Michael Jackson and only 2.5 minutes talking about the movie?

Do you realise that your opinions do not constitute a 'review'?

[jboose]

I sincerely doubt that the message of this movie was that black people are in any way inferior to any other race.

MLK Jr. you ain't, lady.

[MrJuiceGrenade]

I know this review is 4 almost 5 years ago, but you missed the whole point of the movie. Why is it always "black people and white people and my brotha's and sista's"? Why can't it just be PEOPLE.

[TheHXCLee]

Is this a joke?? I think it has a deeper meaning than just racism..

[MarieTherese821]

So he's not allowed to help this white girl who is clearly in need some help and guidance because he's black and she's white? I'm sorry, but that logic doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

@Pearljr Because it's set in the south. Are we supposed ignore aspects of southern culture for the sake of political correctness?

[BenU314159]

I thought the main point of the movie was that two seemingly different people were able to help each other through difficult times in their lives.

Jackson's character wanted children, which his wife denied him, and Ricci's charcter sort of gave him that. Ricci's character was molested by her father and Jackson was able to be the loving father that she never had.

I think race was a secondary topic to the main theme of the movie. The story is about people completing each other.

Sam"The Coon"Jackson will do anything for that dollar and of course Hollywood hate us and they continue to hate us and then they can bring in black coons like Lee"Number #1 Coon"Daniels.
