My daughter was thought to be proud of her European and black heritage and to always remember she is a perfect creation made out of true love! We just lost her dad and I can tell you the pain is unbearable but looking at her I am reminded of his incredible love and how blessed I was to know him and be honored to be able to bring a beautiful daughter into the world! Love is blind in our most vulnerable times!!

Or another take could be, honesty is the best policy. Look at all that she went through trying to keep all of the lies on track. Her grandmother told her it would be that way. And for all that she went through living a lie, and for all the lies she had to tell, the net results were that she was miserably unhappy and it just wasn't worth it. It wasn't until she hit the reset button and went back to being her authentic self was she able to relax and find joy and happiness again. Good for her; wiser and happier; can't beat that. 😀

Yep! The woman in the movie even said "if he finds out, you'll be gone." Aka dead. She shouldn't have married him in the first place but that's the lesson of the movie. No matter how much you try you can't be white so just accept who you are and fight for the right to be seen as an equal even if you're not white or passing. Lots of people today try to agree with white people thinking they'll be treated equally but at the end of the day there's no point unless society changes to just accept you as you are.

Sally was a true homie! She kept the girl code strong. Bertha, the maid, knew right off what time it was the minute she saw Lila.

How sad though! Proof that White America was and is still sick.

This appeared in my recommendations and I'm captivated by the fashion, tone, and way they speak. So elegant and classy. Im feeling nostalgic as if I was born during this period.

She came from my hometown, Richmond, Virginia. There were many ,men and women that left the South to start over as whites, or "pass." It was a goal to get a better life, but what they lost was contacts with their families, fear of their own children "not passing" when born, and just living a lie. I think they also lost who they were, if they ever knew. But that lie was created because they really didn't do it with malice: it was more out of upward mobility and finding a better place because they wanted better. We can't really judge these men and women - they were survivors of a bad time period. I think what we can learn from this is we can accept people for their character and their individualism, not their race. I watched this and it was pretty much what I have seen and heard in literature (Joe Christmas, by Faulkner, never "passed" but he never knew what he "was"). Just a wow in the 21st century to watch this tonight! The best friend in the movie was a good person. Imitation of Life is an old movie that is better than this one. By the way, Bertha was great too. I think Bea made the right decision at the end to be true to herself and go home.

This sort of stuff actually happened 😳! My mother's side of the family passes for white. Their lineage is traced back to slave owners and real American Indians. I love them all...we r very close. I'm brown skin bc of my Father's Father's side. My parents r 82 yrs young now and I'm almost 60 now. They grew up in Southern Virginia. They farmed, picked cotton and chopped peanuts growing up. I used to love hearing how my Mom and Aunt (when they were teens) would go to the corner store and sit at the counter and purchase chips and candy and some times the occasional sandwiches for their brothers, cousins and friends who waited around the back of the store. (Their brothers were slightly darker bc of the sun, as they helped work their family's farm). My grandfather on my Father's side was a very dark skinned man...bc of his skin tone, I've always loved black men, not brown skinned, but black! Grandfather's lineage is traced back to slave owners. Lot's of white and mixed relatives! Unfortunately, my white relatives on my Father's side, were not accepting then, and they r no closer now! When I go to Virginia to visit, I make it my business to pop up at the white family owned business and walk around and walk around, strike up a conversation and tell them who I am and watch them die inside, just a little more! Hilarious!!! Our family tree is just AWESOME. We r truly a diverse people, on both sides. The best part of my adult life, as a brown skinned black woman, has been attending my family reunions, meeting my relatives and the photos we share afterwards! All of my People, related or not, r simply BEAUTIFUL!!! We r a GREAT and WONDERFUL people ❤!!! We've struggled as a people, but God HAS NOT FAILED US!! We r smart! We r educated! We r resourceful! We r patient! We know God WILL take care of each and every one of us, if we just wait!

It has taken me a little while to fully comprehend these blood line results, but it explains a lot to me. After some years my bloodline returned to America via Virginia, Carolinas, Maryland. Wow, assimilation. I am a mixed rainbow. My family is very diverse. My grand kids are 1/2 Chinese, and the others are 1/2 Norwegian and Scandinavian, they are no longer brown skinned, all of them are the colors of their parents partners. I love all my kids and grandkids, there is no color differences when I see my babies. I am blessed and proud my kids, and grandkids, there are no regrets on my part.

Can we talk about how good James Franciscus is in this movie, playing the well-meaning a-hole husband? He was part of a new generation of actors just coming out of Lee Strasberg's acting school, with Brando, Pacino, Jill Clayburgh, Dustin Hoffman, Ernest Borgnine -- giants of the theater. Everyone else in the movie was sooo melodramatic, but he was focused and intense and believable. This movie is like a bridge into the new American Cinema of the 60s

Another was one of the main spies that she passed for Spanish during the texas war of independence by being one of santa Ana's lovers. Her nickname was the yellow rose of texas; I'd have to google her birth name since i haven't written about her since middle school. So. Yeah. Passing for different races isn't new and in some cases changed actual history

One woman told me years after meeting me that she saw ‘ something Asian ‘ in me.

Isnt that the pot calling the kettle black. As if women ever accept responsibility for their actions. They wear extremely revealing clothing and then flip out when they are "objectified". They know what they are doing when they dress like that. They want to feel "sexy" but then get made when someone tells them they're sexy?! Same way with that my body, my choice bullshit. It stopped being your choice the minute you engaged in an activity that creates a child, which has two parents. Each of which have rights and responsibilities concerning that child. But somehow women want to dance around that responsibility with; my body, my choice. So it's not just men who dont like to accept responsibility for their actions.
