[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a point to consider from the other thread: [quote] Maybe while we debate who is "too young" we shoud consider that many AA children much younger than 8,9 or 10 have had to face these issues without the luxury of a parent filter.[/quote][/quote] This is true. Another point to consider too: I must say as a white mother of a non-white child (not black, though), I think long and hard before I expose my son to these types of movies too early. He hangs onto obvious themes and can't see more nuanced ones. It would be very likely he'd come out of Selma (at his age, not older like 12 or so), really hating white people. He will see skin color before he understands the fact that it's not skin color that's bad, but oppression, discrimination, and violence are. [/quote]
