[@sulkoma]

You're deluded, that's why. You probably blame "white" people too, right? A population of people who made up less than 2% of the US population were who operated the whole Atlantic slave trade & owned every single slave ship. Not a single one of them was a white person, they were all Jewish. They owned 78% of all of the slaves, while making up less than 2% of the population. This is all well documented, but white people don't own mass media or Hollywood. So the brainwashing obviously deludes people such as yourself into believing a false history with made up facts. You can listen to Professor Tony Martin talking about it if race matters for you on such a discussion, he's a black guy & was very intelligent & spoke a lot of the atlantic slave trade, as well as other topics. They also owned the Irish slave trade, which is another slave trade completely unheard of by most & not allowed to be discussed. People will outright call you a racist if you bring it up. Stop taking hollywood movies so seriously, they are made to brainwash people at a subconscious level :) Slavery at this point in time in our world is also much higher than it was back then. Most of the slavery happening is in Africa as well, did you know that? Did you know a lot of the jewish owned slaves that when freed by white people who fought in a war to end slavery, they went back to Africa & became slave owners themselves & used everything they had learned as a slave to do the same to their new slaves in Africa? This wasn't just a few who did this either.. it happened with a lot of people

Fr, I've thought about that ever since I've learned about racism and slavery back in kindergarten. It mentally doesn't click in my mind. Seriously, how the hell did things like this come to be? What in the human brain was so messed up that millions, if not billions, of ppl started treating ppl so violently over their race, THEIR SKIN COLOR, alone? It just doesn't add up to me, so many ppl were, and still are, violently treated for essentially no reason. It isn't even a specific race, ppl just hate ppl. Obviously tho, we're specifically talking about ppl who happened to be in this time period being specifically persecuted and hurt, but yk what i mean. I'm just questioning where in evolution did humans create racism? Why is racism as a whole a thing? It's made even more mind-boggling because it literally doesn't matter what race or skin color, black, white, Asian, etc., ppl will hate anyone for their race alone and that's scary af. It's as if being born as a human also with skin is something that triggers certain ppl to act I dunno, after all these years, no amount of science or hours of thinking or arguing can lead me to a conclusion. It's just not something we can understand.

And its even sadder during those 60s, imagine growing up always believing someone to be your mother only for you to grow up and realize that the only person who was always affectionate to you was a maid and that woman who was always in the background was your real mother. Not only that, but that woman also tells you that you should never repay the maid's kindness because she has dark skin.

[@Naomi-fb1ej]

Don't know if it was mentioned in the movie but in the book Cecilia came from a "white trash" background, which, in addition to dating and later marrying Johnny was why she was treated like an outcast. What's great about her is she sincerely married Johnny for love and didn't put on airs after she married into a higher social class. In fact, the most racist characters in The Help started acting more racist because they were class-insecure/trying to rise in class, Hilly pushing segregationist policies in her women's org was part of her husband's bid for governor, and Elizabeth bowing to Hilly's pressure to build an additional toilet was part of wanting to look like the (racist) wealthier women in her town despite not having a lot of money.

Every human race has been a slave at some point, even Irish white slaves at the same time were treated much harsher. redheaded people have a long history of being assumed to be demonic or bad in some way and killed or put down, even today in northwest europe or to many people, redheads are still seen as such. Theres always long lines of discrimination, and I highly doubt with the many many many various diverse black people in africa, suddenly theyre all from some hebrew people in a bible that takes place in the middle east.

Tbh what I love about Skeeter’s and Hilly’s “friendship” is that Hilly is not your typical villain. If you notice, it seems like Hilly is taking Skeeter into her guardianship, often protecting her from her other friends, such as kicking Jolene on the table card for making unkind comments about Skeeter’s lack of marriage, and even standing up for her decision to get a job at the Jackson Journal. She defend Skeeter from her mother’s expectations (I forget which one is but it’s in line with “I wouldn’t let your mother’s opinion about you let this chance slipped by” when talking about Skeeter meeting her cousin Stuart). She’s initially not a Villain in Skeeter’s life, but as time progressed both of them changed. Skeeter got exposed to the bigger world from her education while Hilly settled into her life as a socialite with certain pressure to keep up the “standards” of her surroundings, which means embracing the “racism of the south” because that was the rule of the land, and they just didn’t fit in anymore, it’s not about good vs evil, but two person deciding which value they want to live by. It just seems real to me than the usual “my bully is happens to be a racist” trope.

In the book this movie was based on, I think I remember Constantine was fired because they found out she had a daughter with a white man.

[@boris4753]

Makes sense

[@SystemofEleven]

No, in the book, Constantine was married to a black man, but they had a daughter who looked white due to throwback genetics from one of their (probably non-consensual) ancestors. They sent the child away to the city to live a better life. When her daughter visited as an adult during the ladies' group function, the group (including Skeeter's mom) was unaware of who she was and talked to her about potentially joining. When Constantine came out to serve the food, the daughter addressed her as her mother, and Skeeter's mom was humiliated by the scandal of a black person nearly joining the group under her roof. She fired Constantine for "being put into that situation".

"the kids they raised grew up to be as mean as their parents" nature overpowering nurture basically, that speaks volumes.

[@sparkyboomboomboi7051]

Actually I think it’s the other way nurture overpowering nature. Or more accurately obedience overcoming moral. Or authority overcoming moral. I say this as someone who has done some research into psychology. If nature overpowered nurture then ur eluding to the idea that white people are born racist which is false for many reasons. Even in the movie at the end you can see the little girl (who was “just born” in comparison to the other women) was not racist and truly loved that maid. There have been some studies by Soloman Asch and another psychologist(inspired by Nazi compliance/genocide) of how people are willing to do very morally wrong things if under pressure from direct authority (ex: parents pressuring them to become racist/follow their ideal) or if under pressure from being in a group (conforming to group ideals).
