If you are in your mother’s home who knows God, you better never fix your lips to speak in this way. Her mother even held her composure but she just kept going. It’s one thing to not believe, it’s another to disrespect someone who does, especially your parent. Don’t come with the parents shouldn’t raise their children in their religious beliefs. If you want to condemn yourself, do that but don’t tell others how to raise theirs.

[@thefrofairy]

Out of the entire script in this scene however, beneatha seemed the most “switched on” in weighing on her options. The godly women simply said “he’s rich” she replied “he’s shallow” her values are in check. She wants to be a doctor before settling on marriage? Another self acclaimed value in check. Mother lost it because she didn’t like what she said in regards to her own beliefs, that she herself knows her daughter isn’t privy to. So why respond to her by inserting him in conversation? I agree not to be in anyone’s space disregarding their way of life. But don’t instigate a discourse either. It’s just as disrespectful to keep mentioning him in the eyes of a non-believer. For both parties. Especially if their belief system goes beyond fixed scripture.
