My focus was on prejudice and paranoia. Period. I never even said the word racism. I mentioned Emmitt Till because it came easily to mind and is a very famous case. But Serlimg’s quote does not mention race and neither does the episode. He only talks about prejudice Brian McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725832940943503641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14646103.post-89803923836198788082010-09-08T08:14:17.096-07:002010-09-08T08:14:17.096-07:00Hey Brian,

I don't think I necessarily agree with you on this one and it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with decency and taste.<br /><br />It is not unlike when Pope John Paul asked the nuns who had set up a convent near Auschwitz to relocate.

It doesn’t change everyone all at once, but if a piece of art hits someone at the right time in his/her life it can be profound.<br /><br /><br />Sometimes art only needs to change one person. I made a film 12 years ago that I know has helped people see things differently.<br /><br /Brian McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725832940943503641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14646103.post-38090099173019208742010-08-26T09:41:49.765-07:002010-08-26T09:41:49.765-07:00I just can't wait for The Golden Theme.
