Quote:Back when schools were segregated, those things weren't racist.

People can only draw from their experiences and the formative years are when you learn, observe, intellectualize, etc. That is your framework from which you view life. Sometimes you change with the times, but someone his age? Not so much. He was born in 1930 so his formative years and years of experiencing what life is were the 30's-50's. That was such a different time in so many ways I can't even imagine.

 

There are some things he says that I don't agree with. He says in the full story from which this bit came from that, and I paraphrase, once men sire their kids that's it, it's the woman's job to raise them. Um, no. I don't agree with that at all. All in all though I think he's a fascinating man and has been one of my favorite actors of all time.
