The C.O.W.S. LITTLE WHITE LIE: Lacey Schwartz - Interview from 11/17/2014

-----

Lacey Schwartz visits The Context of White Supremacy. Ms. Schwartz is a non-white female with a White mom. She - like President Obama - is an alumnus of Harvard Law School and a documentary filmmaker. We'll investigate her 2014 film, Little White Lie. The project explores Ms. Schwarz deceptive childhood. Her White mother (Peggy Schwartz) insisted that her dark skin tone was the result of her "swarthy," Sicilian grandparents. She was in college when she finally confronted her mother and got the truth. Her birth was the product of her mother's extramarital affair with a black male. Her White father regarded this as the "ultimate betrayal"; Lacey's parents later divorced. We'll ask about her "White" childhood and episodes where Whites impugned her membership in the White club. We'll also see how she was treated by black people before and after her epiphany.
