i find the movie aptly name . my motivation for respond be due to an early opinion on this movie and specifically represent the central character of delilah be the bad kind of racial stereotype while a relentlessly cheerful mammy and perfectly satisfy to spend her life tend to the need of her white employer . i be an american black ( african american ) and i do not find delilah offensive . in fact i applaud the reflection of honesty that this 1934 film attempt . the mammy of that time period have very few choice . that she be happy to help her very nice white employer for the safety provide do not make for a hate figure by black . it make for a reminder of the intense level of crap black folk go through and how they deal with the pain of it to stay honest and kind and helpful people . should delilah live in the street and hat white people the rest of her life . should she have not have the fortitude and insight to find a situation with another care human be and albeit this other human be white . and for this she be laud a a the bad kind of racial stereotype . no . the answer be a resounding no . now if delilah be beat and rap on a regular basis and still want to please her white employer while deny her race the previous poster would have have a point . okay and i really do not like the mournful gospel music and r and b would have make this movie perfect to me but that just me . live and love . there be no shame in be a good person .
