Black and White kids get along in Charleston, Missippi, but there is a black prom and a white prom. White kids are welcome at the black prom, but black kids know the unwritten rule that are not welcome at the white prom. Morgan Freeman offered to sponsor an integrated prom. Black and white kids were happy and wanted to go, but white parents did NOT want their kids mixing with black kids, and held a competing event.

    We can call it "evil" if we use mythologies. But perhaps the best expression might be a combination of bad knowledge, bad history, bad common sense and bad leadership. Charleston high school prom case is an example were the political system allowed lousy common white sense still claiming that "integration will destroy individualism" like parents of one white student were claiming in this film. They were not evil, they just had ridiculous worldview. Folly is belittled in MS.

  • Racism is just another reminder for me that evil does exist in this world.
