6. "RE: A Reflection on "Last Transport""
In response to message #5

I try to look at it not as a condemnation of what they did in 1959, but to see it as proof that we have come a long way as a society in recognizing such prejudices and rejecting them. After all, the world of over 50 years ago was a very different place, one that we probably have trouble recognizing. I remember watching the movie "Something the Lord Made" (Alan Rickman, Mos Def, about early heart surgery pioneers.) Early on in the movie, as part of a scene, they show two african-american characters standing aside on a sidewalk to let some white people pass. I knew, intellectually, that this happened, but SEEING it shocked me. I couldn't understand why they would do such a thing. "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." As for Superman:TAS... well, I could say that Supes panicked at suddenly having a super-powered teenager in his life. :) |
