That showed who was going to be problematic and not help when in an emergency or War situation.

One of their last wishes was for my mom to have their small pickup truck as we did not have a car at the time. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, their children did not respect that last wish.

Being a "Yankee", I grew up with a huge fear of the South, thinking all Southerns were cruel and couldn't understand why they were so mean to people of color. Then I met a new friend, a black woman who moved to New York. She was a very successful, educated business woman who was kind and had great class. When she looked at property to rent, she would be told the house was just rented or they needed 6 months' security deposit. She taught me that northerners with discrimination often don't directly show it, but Southerns did. She said she preferred the honestly in the South rather than the hypocrisy in the North. Wow did I learn a lesson. There are kind people and mean people every where.

Betrayal kills in a lot of ways. Poor Constitine

[@TheBeliever1204]

Awh it was very difficult back then to stand up to such peer pressure. Is the saddest part of the movie... As they all loved her really

[@smartditzs7536]

Some people stood up in that time period and helped. It was a choice. She was disloyal in a core moment , that with a little backbone could have been confronted. Ex “She comes in the front sometimes no big deal in my home, she’s worked here many years”, BINGOO ✨any human being with a decent conscious would have made that decision. So stop the white fragility sympathy, it’s okay to say someone/something was just straight WRONG

[@sophiechen4874]

Emma Stone is too good. She conveyed deep heartbrokenness, betrayal, and disgust all in one short scene.

This scene broke my heart

[@billymusselwhite5256]

This broke my heart 💔😢😢😢

[@carolynmaynard5039]

Loved this movie and bought for my video library . That's exactly what was going on back then in the south.. Hard to believe this actually happened in our nation.😢

[@hunterstanfield4061]

God when she says that she died the amount of raw emotion captured between both of them is incredible truly great actresses and a truly great movie

[@teresaescobedo5504]

She never showed her true emotions only until someone cared for that person that the feel bad. Not on their own free will..she wasnt sorry..

[@marieboyle6183]

This movie is fabulous! I LOVED the chocolate pie scene. 😂😂

[@jekmr84]

I feel like the daughters actions were wrong in this time frame. Sure cost her Mom's livelihood because of her pride.

[@bearlyalive9669]

Not enough people are talking about the line “you broke her heart” shit makes me teary eyed

[@ashleylondono7004]

Wasn't it kinda the daughter's fault cause the lady told her she was attending people but the daughter decided to barge in to see her mom, back in the day she must've known something like that would get her in trouble or her mom, she caused the scene and got her mom fired. Though obviously the lady could've disregarded it, but the daughter was disrespectful barging in like that, I kinda feel like the lady stood her ground, although it's true that firing the old lady wasn't really necessary cause it wasn't her fault but it's a back in those days kinda movie so not everything was fair anyways

[@likhithakommuri1472]

I teared up when i saw this scene. How people change just in to fit in their group and how they cut ties with people abruptly who did no bad to you but "help" (service). Heartbreaking.

[@Cocoiland]

The maid lady is so gorgeous

[@3114bsad]

At least she felt remorse for what she did, she handled the situation poorly and it's unforgivable but alot of people in that time would never admit they did wrong and feel remorse

[@aliahspirituality]

She didn’t feel that much remorse because if she did she wouldn’t want to behave that way ever again. She still treated the black people that worked for her like shit. Turning the tv off when a nationally aired speech concerning their rights was going on. Then gonna tell her daughter not to encourage them by having them watch it. Don’t encourage them? Like they’re little kids. She was still trash.

[@3114bsad]

@guidetotappingin yeah and humans have been terrible to each other for as long as we have been around, Humans being terrible is the default, here she at least shows she knows what she did was terrible and even during the exchange you can see she didn't want to do it, if you expect people to not be terrible all you do is allow them the oppertunity to disappoint you

[@marisolreyes6502]

This was definitely the saddest part of the movie. Had me/has me in tears.

[@Scottsteaux63]

"You broke her heart!" I thought MY heart was going to break.

[@indybruggeman1293]

She said "you broke her heart" not "you broken her world"

[@valerievention]

“gossip teen didn’t do anything wrong” ✋😔

[@sabrinaaguirre8055]

I’m not saying she was in the right for firing her, not by a long shot. The daughter shouldn’t have busted in like that. She should have known given the situation what the implications were. To this day I would not just bust into someone else’s home like that. With that being said, this was pure discrimination and racism, nothing ever justifies that.

[@bettyspaghetti7654]

Went against her own morals. She would forever regret that.

[@sharizazepeda9502]

Rachel and Skeeter had the same energy and spirit both fierce and brave women because they were raised by the same strong mother ❤️
