"The only good Black mother is a White mother"
Ms. Hornaday used an expression that I had never heard before. In reference to racial stereotypes depicted in the movie the Blind Side, Ms. Hornaday said “The only good Black mother is a White mother”. Is this a common thought and/or stereotype expressed among and between White women of Ms. Hornaday’s ilk? I’m curious to know where she got this from - especially if a "stereotype" is suppose to have some of its origin based in reality. What reality? It certainly is not what came to my mind when I considered my “racial” discomfort with the movie the “Blind Side”. This is a great example of how Black and White perceptions of the world in which we live together are so far apart.
