"I'm not raising my son to be your son's wide receiver" best damn line of the movie. They need us way more than we need them otherwise who will make them shine? So glad we were taught if u have a natural God given talent use it to get what u need n save your family's money for something else. Get the education free if you can but all of us don't have to go to school on athletic scholarships, we can go on academics as well.......Shannon b.

Even in a movie with a powerful lesson... 😢 we still lose.. I know Ruby Dee’s cry from anywhere

[@godschildyes]

I don't think it was Ruby Dee's cry. I've seen and heard her cry in countless movies. I think it was the white lady, however, it's obvious that they wanted the viewers to be guessing who's son died by the cry that was hard to pinpoint. Also, a clue could be that before the man closed the door, he touched the white lady.

One of the best scripts and acting!! Thank you.

[@mariekatherine5238]

I remember this movie and the whole bussing issue. Where I was teaching, a one room country school in KY, it was sort of irrelevant. The issue was closing the schoolhouse. A lot of the parents were opposed, didn’t want their kids riding a bus in bad weather long distances to a “city” school, called “integrated” because there were five black kids a few mixed race out of like 250 students. The bigger furor was when I was hired to keep the country school open! It really took a while. I had to prove myself, not so much a racist, as the school was all white, and so am I, but the fact I was from New York was suspect to just about everyone.

[@theviolingeek]

This story's backstory about busing is true, but it didn't workout! The kids were too far from home in case something happened the kids parents had to travel out of their way to pick the child up or take the bus to God knows where to get them! Also they stopped taking care of the so called better schools, with books and such along with maintenance to the building, so in turn they ended up with what they already had. Now all of the schools are crappy, and the kids are stupid! All they had to do was give the kids in the city, regardless of race, better and up to date books, and maintain the buildings better! We all pay taxes and they are supposed to go to schools, and such! Yea, suppose to! Parents should be in charge of where their kids go to school, NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!!!

[@aarondigby5054]

They use taxed based revenue to dispense supplies to area schools. So if your neighborhood has a higher tax revenue bracket then evidently you feel entitled to the best, the first and so on.

Bravo! What an amazing movie and well portrayed by all the actors. This movie left us with a cliffhanger and, at the end, we still didn’t know which boy was killed or which one survived. However, it really doesn’t matter who survived because both families lost in the end. What a cruel joke this prank turned out to be! 👏

[@samyataylor8281]

🧐This is a cliffhanger, I think both teenagers passed away (1) passed away physically and the other (2) mentally

[@jabelakhdar1014]

I think this movie had a very stupid ending. The viewer watch the whole movie just to end up still not knowing which boy died in which boy lived. So the view is worth supposed to distinguish which woman was crying. People do not cry in racial distinctions. If you hear a baby cry, what is the baby black or white

[@Kathryn551]

so the black kids parents dumped their baggage onto their son when he was not having even similar experiences as they did. And so the narrative is passed along instead of buried in the ground where it belonged.

[@D.A.Hanks14]

I remember seeing this when it aired; I want to say it was a Sunday night but I could be mistaken. The bus going over a cliff stands in my memory (although I thought it went from right to left). Now, 40 years later - I am watching this not as a kid - but as an actor myself. I will finish this post when it is over. So- I could have also sworn that the two mothers decided not to know. Got that wrong. I guess Howie had a good grip on the wheel, and Reese bounced around and got knocked out and then burned up. I hope that judge was proud of his work. There's a saying here in the South: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Everything was fine, until someone stuck their nose into someone else's business. I hope that judge was proud of his work. To this day, there is strife because certain people pick scabs and bleed old wounds, instead of letting things settle on their own (which they would). I hope that judge was proud of his work.

[@padussia]

I was two when this movie came out.

[@truthseeker3688]

While I enjoyed this movie as entertainment, my critical eye says it's just the type of propaganda that led to American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) pretending that we're in a post-racial society. The whites were saying "things are fine. Everyone's happy"; or in today's vernacular, MAGA; Meanwhile, the blacks were pretending that things weren't so bad; and that some whites (like their son's racist parents) were ok. Sure, they say some deep thought every now and again, but basically, they were ok with being second class citizens. And we did raise a few raceless generations behind this type of media propaganda; and ADOS stopped being political; and now we're really at a critical point; and all because we allowed ourselves to believe that "some whites are ok" story. I'm sure some whites truly are ok; the problem is how do you define "ok". If it means they speak to you and your kids go to same school; but your community as a whole is wealthless and a societal contagion, then that's ok with some whites and blacks. While other whites are very honest and forthright with their ideas; and you may not like hearing it; but you know what you're up against. I hate systemic racism; and no matter how cordial or nice a white person is to me, we won't be friends unless he/she fully understands and admits systemic oppression and racism; and the need for reparations. This is the true test of interracial relationships; not working together or dating and marriage while avoiding the conversation.

[@teresamerklin4614]

[@aarondigby5054]

​@@liberalview6729I remember segregated schools, when the county got new books, they were delivered to the white book center and the white schools would get the new books, if any were left they went to the black schools, other than that we got those books at least 4years later, after the whites had used them usually you got new books at least every 4years. Ex. If it was 1969 the White's books would have president Nixon or Johnson, the black people's books would have Eisenhower or Truman, always 4 to 8, sometimes 12years behind. Smdh, that's why separate but equal did not work.
