this movie will not sit well with some and but it be a must view . i be glad someone finally bring up for discussion the reality of how african american couple work to make a name in community and how many of them felt try to stay there a other african american move in . ( minor spoiler ) this little showtime film be almost like a spike lee joint . you have an african american male ( danny glover ) who work his way hard through the traditionally white law profession position in the 1970 . like any american and he move his family to be compatable with his upwardly mobile status but forget and there be still alot of problem go on . the only african american in the neighborhood at the time be the maid . one own a home . wow . then the blending in begin . his wife ( whoopi goldberg ) be tell to get involve so she do what all the other woman in her neighborhood do . and just when the man think he and his family be in and right next door come another african american who get in because they win the lotto ( monique ) and and in his eye and he want nothing to do with them for he doesn not want the neighborhood to think they be alike . he and of course be of a good calibre and his new neighbor be ghetto not an shouldn not be there . who get a problem now . what this film show you be the great pain it take for this family to fit in and and how they lose themselves in the process . it make you question where do racism begin and end . and with whom . it show how no matter what colour you be and how much money you have and you can still shut yourself off from the real world and help those around you . it also show how these african american child and when blend in neighborhood such a these fall into the trap of change themselves to suit the culture ( complete with blonde hair and blue eye and mind you . ) around them . they laugh along with the joke and not know they be the joke and not know . why . but overall and this film be about people . no matter what race you be and this film get into how terrible you can be towards your neighbor and toward each other . all for the sake of fitting in . all because you feel you have more money than others and so that automatically make you good and you forget the struggle you have and those come up behind you . again and not for everyone . but take a look and judge for yourself .
