Fun fact: the movie Imitation of Life inspired the top 10 hit "I'm Living in Shame" by Diana Ross and The Supremes in 1969. The song tells the story of a young black woman who disowns her mother, and while the lyrics do not specifically bring up why, it's definitely the same story. In the song, there's a lyric "I lied and said Mama died on a weekend trip to Spain", and another line "married a guy, was living high, I didn't want him to know her, had a grandson 2 years old that I never even showed her."

I truly could not imagine disowning my own mother in that way. Maybe if I lived through that time, in those situations, with that kind of mistreatment, maybe I would feel somewhat different enough to wish to 'Pass' in some situations. As a black woman, definitely not light enough to pass for white in those time's standards, if I could... I just couldn't do it. Honestly, if I was in her place, a black woman so pale she could pass for white... I just simply cannot see myself disowning my own family, my own mother, or even my own culture for the sake of a bit of an easier life. Again I say it could not have been easy, as black people were despised, and killed, and so mistreated, but I just don't believe I could ever.

[@Mickkie]

@Miya Hockenhull: Me neither. Pecola really had NO GOOD reasons to despise her mother. As for the, racial ethnicity that i come from, i could NEVER, would NEVER, EVER disown THAT.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

You must understand, passing for white when being black is by far so much worse than being black. It means you're pretending not to be what you are, and that inevitably will anger the people whom are racist to you, thinking you can get close to them and live like them. Its a terrible thing, but don't think this was the entirety of society back then, racism was a needle in a sizable haystack, but through media life in the past made racism into the haystack, and good moments into a needle. Never be biased of an era for what you believe is true, your thoughts are the most convincing matter to believe, don't let them. This goes exactly for racism, racism is based on rumor. If white people truly got to know black people, there would be absolutely no issues that they could name beside them perhaps not holding to the most mature standard of living, and being a little let loose and calmer with more work. What is there to be angry about in that? I punched a lady in 1961 over a riot, she said something about why she thought the black race to be worth rioting over and I won't repeat it, her reasoning is grotesque shock value because her reasoning is just not wanting to be anywhere near them. She doesn't know them nor will she hope to ever.

Fredi Washington went to Julia Richman High School in New York where she made friends with Elisabeth Welch, who was also bi racial. Was Julia Richman High School a racailly mixed school or a school for African Americans? Elisabeth, a beautiful & glamorous singer, made London her home in 1933 & had a fabulous stage & screen career in Britain until she passed in 2003 at the age of 99. In the 1930s she co starred with Paul Robeson in two British movies after Fredi had co starred with Mr Robeson in The Emperor Jones movie in USA in 1933. Elisabeth did not meet Fredi again until 1980 when she returned to New York to appear in the revue Black Broadway & Fredi showed up in her dressing room after a performance. Elisabeth was thrilled to see Fredi again after such a long time. For more information see Stephen Bourne's excellent biography Elisabeth Welch: Soft Lights & Sweet Music (Scarecrow Press, 2005).

It wasn't very kind of her to offer her 20%. It should have been 50%. It was her recipe. African Americans had to know there was a race problem, during this period when they rode in segregated cars on the railroad. One thing that always helps is money. Madam C. J. Walker [ recorded as the first female self-made millionaire in America in the Guinness Book of World Records], built a mansion on the Hudson in New York. Had Delila used her wealth to build a mansion and buy anything she wanted; I don't think her daughter would have felt the need to pass for "white". However, Delila chose to live in Miss Bea's basement. She didn't even want the money, even though she had a daughter to support She told Miss Bea she could have the money as a present. For lack of a better adjective, that was stupid.

[@fourthgirl]

I liked both versions because each has something to offer in its own right. The 1934 version offers a relationship of the two women that is more respectful to each other especially with her having shares in the pancake company. It offered an African American actress culturally conflicted Peola and gave more reason for her torment. The 1959 was heavy on the drama. It felt very much like employer/employee relationship rather than two women struggling together with common interest and goals. Lana Turner and Juanita Moore played their roles to perfection. I did not care for the casting of Sarah Jane and she was more mean than conflicted. I never saw the love she was suppose to have for her mother.

[@kgrimes4934]

That's the problem w the Turner & Moore version. It abandons the source material & the reality of the subject matter. Read the novel, this just wasn't a tear jerker. There was a point beyond giving the white ppl the sads. The novel was all about comparing parenting styles in showing who the women really were not just what they wanted to projected. For the white woman-niceness was a mask even though she is a good person in general, for the black woman her mask is -infantilization learned through trauma. For god sakes, only 1939 version hints to how she got a white daughter in the first place. The Hays code is the reason there isn't always a more obvious difference. Also, Nothing says the Turner/Moore version failed to get the point more than turning down over 2 dozen light skinned actresses to give a white one the part.

I remember seeing it as a child the colored version one and then the black-and-white to my opinion still the same. Not only did she use the black woman in every way she could and then people were angry at the little girl she was only acting out the way she saw things coming out. Her mother was taken in as a child she watch the little white girl grow up with nothing but the best after the black lady worked her tail off to help the white woman it was only natural that her daughter would grow up wishing not to be black but human. She should’ve never left a black lady as a mate, one, 2 instead of the black lady buying a house the white lady kept her back. My children both come from a or should I just say their father is white, there are reasons but the world is very different today, you cannot go backwards only forward, and yes I do wish that I could have married into my own race but I made sure that my children grew up just being themselves and not putting a color to their skin. I am from Philadelphia so I raise them on the culture of where I came from even though I live in Eugene Oregon. I still fly to help bring unity among the black people in my community. Many of them come here for college and some just movie because of family, over the years I watch different cultures of black people come in and out of this town and listen to many of their opinions but the bottom line is still the same our black man I married white women and vice a versa forgetting about the children that are Born from these marriages. Oregon is a predominately white state. My kids turned out OK because God one and number two I’ve always been black and proud.

Hey Caucasian lady. You were the same in need of work. You robbed and treated the black lady with greed and disrespect...and her daughter situation was disheartening enough. The more you know. Culture race torture and greedy people

The Black lady should have started her own business. The White lady did all the work and made them both rich.

It was the black womans recipe to begin with! It was ALL her hard work that originated everything which is why that woman gave her a small percentage. What you’re saying just doesn’t make any sense. SMH

[@susiel8472]

Unfortunately the black woman would not have had the opportunity to start her business in such racist times. She should have received a large percentage as it was her recipe and the white woman a small percentage!

[@SoraSonorei2022]

She didn't want to. She just wanted to stay with the white woman instead of being sent away with money enough to buy her own big house and her own new car.
