The Image: Jim Brown (February 17, 1936 – May 19, 2023*) standing outside...Utterly forlorn.
What begins as a charming example of 'Southern Hospitality' during the 60s in which local boy made good, Jim Brown shoots the breeze with former neighbour and landowner, Carlton ([ Ссылка ]) but it soon turns into a horrifying example of something quite different: the evil of racism - when you least expect it... ([ Ссылка ])
Oh, and it's a true story - and this scene actually happened...
So, this time not so much the image (but check the thumbnail at the end ([ Ссылка ]) when Jim just stands in stunned amazement outside the door - realising that in fact almost nothing has really changed) but the extraordinary (and unexpected) racist expletive** uttered by Carlton at the end when Jim offers to help move some furniture inside Carlton's house.
(I artificially silenced the horrifying racist slur word he casually speaks as it is still just incredibly shocking to hear that term used so unthinkingly - I don't want to appear patronising so please tell me if I was wrong...)
Yet it all begins so optimistically as Jim proudly cruises up that drive in his very lovely Cadillac Convertible ([ Ссылка ]) - the Southern boy with the world at his feet.

**though of course it does not even occur to Carlton that he is being offensive...
