Blame society. Set him straight and teach him to be proud of his heritage. Society has a way of making you feel you need to identify as only one race and not be proud of being mixed race.

now we have a mixed race president who insists on being called ''black''. also tiger woods, halley berry, vanessa williams. first BLACK to win the masters, first BLACK to win an oscar, and first BLACK miss america. it seems the tables have been turned. mullattos used to want to be white and now they want to be black. because of media propaganda.

My great grandfather was Louis DeRochemont who produced this film. We've got the doctor's license plate that was used in the movie. Such a good and meaningful film!

The african american community has the mindset of light skin is better to this day. It used to be called " the brown paper bag test". There has always exsisted prejudice within its own community based on(lighter vs. darker). This became ingrained in the mindset of many generations, yet offended by those that could "pass", , Still remains in Alabama today in all generations & economic backgrounds. Have bi-racial child who is proud to be in own racial category,not 2 choose just 1.

You knew Dr. Albert C. Johnston ? The movie was based on his family.

@shannontheguy Thank you for posting! Wow! This is a classic for sure. These are things our parents discussed, but it is interesting to see the family dynamics when it comes to passing. Race and class are still issues within the black community. I am currently dealing with it from my 17 year old. Not taught at home, It is very interesting. Pray it is a phase!

It's still an issue. My life was greatly impacted b/c of race. I lost my ex fiancee b/c her parents found out I was mulatto. Her daughter had passe me as cuban and they liked me. I didn't know she passed me off as cuban.
