OT - Lisa, I don't believe I ever heard anyone talk about black athletes back then. LSU was all white, so the LSU football team was all white, too, and the LSU basketball team. I recall that everything black people did was pretty much discounted, except for music, singing, dancing, cooking, and some other stuff I wasn't supposed to hear them talking about. Not nice.
Congrats on watching a great movie. Leni Riefenstahl really had a gift. I think by this time most people consider it history, and probably won't ostracize you for watching it. But, if you feel an uncontrollable urge to put your right arm straight up in the air, turn off the TV.<g> |
