    Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom and Happy Monday.  Was it based on a book? It seems vaguely familiar.

    That was 54 years ago so a lot of things are vaguely familiar to us old folks this many years later.
    Yes the movie was based on a book.

    Thanks. I can vaguely remember seeing a book cover in a bookstore. Remember those? Bookstores? We used to go there as a family and spend time holding actual books and reading a bit here and there. SIGH. That's what we used to have before Amazon sold books and before Kindle was born. The golden olden good old days. :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 2, 2018 11:17 AM MDT

    Yes, I remember those days. There are not very many book stores around these days.

    But is your definition of "racist" simply anyone who does not agree with you?   Someone else has written that it means anyone who works hard and does well and succeeds.  If we are even talking about it then race does exist so how can we pretend it does not?
