The movie is based on a true story about a wealthy family from the deep south that adopts a black child who eventually grows up to be a famous football player. At one point, the family decides to hire a private tutor, in order to help the young man catch up at the new school his family has enrolled him in</pvisual="166825" > <pvisual="166825" >. So, the family interviews a number of prospects before finding one they particularly like. When they finally offer the tutor (played by Kathy Bates) the job, the tutor pauses a moment and says, "Thanks, but there is something I think I should tell you", looking very anxious and uncomfortable. The couple, really needing to hire her, also now look concerned, wondering what it could possibly be. The tutor finally gets up the courage to say, "I'm a Democrat." But the young man's adoptive parents decide that, despite this, the offer will remain.</pvisual="166825" > <p> But as soon as the tutor leaves, the husband says to his wife, "You know, I would have believed I had a black child before I'd hire a Democrat." </p> <p> That to me, was just so chock full of insight into the culture of the deep south (and, I think, awfully funny as well...)</p> <p> So, that scene just kept going through my mind as a watched this video... </p><div class="adsplat"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- August 2017 336x 280 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1948223620103741" data-ad-slot="6944215679"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <p><i>(Article changed on October 30, 2020 at 15:22)</i></p> </div> <!-- mainContent --> </article> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="wwscontentsmall"> <tr> <td width="35%" valign="middle" class="wwscontentsmall"> <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="doRatings('/populum/ajax_ratings.php?id=243918&content=a&sid=512932&action=rate&w=ratings2');"><strong>Rate It</strong></a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="doRatings('/populum/ajax_ratings.php?id=243918&content=a&sid=512932&action=view&w=ratings2');"><strong>View Ratings</strong></a> <div id="ratings2"></div> </td> <td width="65%" valign="middle"> </td> </tr> </table> <div class="wwscontent"> <p align="left"><em>Al Hirschfield Social Media Pages:</em> <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0);" ><img src="/populum/images/greyed_facebook.png" alt="Facebook page url on login Profile not filled in" title="Facebook page url on login Profile not filled in" border="0" width="28" height="28"></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0);" ><img src="/populum/images/greyed_twitter.png" alt="Twitter page url on login Profile not filled in" title="Twitter page url on login Profile not filled in" border="0" width="28" height="28"></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0);" ><img src="/populum/images/greyed_linkedin.png" alt="Linkedin page url on login Profile not filled in" title="Linkedin page url on login Profile not filled in" border="0" width="28" height="28"></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:void(0);" ><img src="/populum/images/greyed_instagram.png" alt="Instagram page url on login Profile not filled in" title="Instagram page url on login Profile not filled in" border="0" width="28" height="28"></a> </p> </div> <div class="wwscontent" style="margin-bottom:16px;"> <p>A rapidly aging boy from NJ, with a somewhat radical political bent, who, after quite some time, seems to finally (in the truest sense of the word) be getting it together...
