MrS98VAC Simple. You see back then (and you could argue even now) whites were convinced that WASP superiority was ordained by God and reinforced by what whites contributed to history. This goes all the way back to their justification of slavery which even after the Civil War carried on into the 20th century.

19EHF Not all whites had it good. The Irish, Italians, Polish and even Germans faced discrimination and prejudice too.

Sean Furlong I know, but as they were still of European descent, they still had it somewhat better than African-Americans.

19EHF In the 19th century the groups I mentioned were actually considered "not real whites"

Sean Furlong I know that, and you forgot Jews. But I mean within the past mmm.. 40 to 50 years. Look either way, its a shame that we separate ourselves like this. When you look at it with an educated mind you cant understand how America was just so utterly stupid, I mean to base someone's character and potential on something as stupid as color of skin, national origin, religion, orientation, etc is just utterly stupid. We dont discriminate based on eye or hair color. In fact when you look at the history of the US the ONLY group that has never been subject to discrimination were rich white anglo-saxon christian males.

He was probably a snobby, spiteful racist like Hilly is. Believe it or not Hilly is actually much more spiteful in the book than the movie. She has no boundaries, is an interfering busybody and walks around like a Queen bee. She tells people after the dress ripping incident at the benefit that Celia is a drunk and compulsive liar who tricked Johnny into marrying her because she was pregnant. She also sends Celia a nasty passive-aggressive letter telling her she is more or less banned from the Junior League and any future benefits and asks for $200 for the ripped dress. That's why Celia wrote the cheque out addressed to "Two Slice Hilly" lol. Mrs Walters although she is nowhere near as bad as Hilly she does make Minny replace something she broke and charges her double what it was worth although other than that I think she did treat Minny well to some extent because she does give Minny a nice reference to Celia and Minny stops Mrs Walters from eating the pie and Mrs Walters reaction to the pie is funnier in the book she basically tells Hilly she deserved it and not to go tattling on Minny or she'd be known around town as the woman who ate two slices of Minny's shit! 😂😂 that pie was poetic justice because in the book it details Hilly's Home Help Sanitation Initiative which is full of racist bull shit about the diseases black people carry and how dangerous is it for white people to catch them, that's why Skeeter deliberately didn't put it in the news letter because she was so disgusted by it. Also a few of the society ladies do work it out that Hilly is the woman in the pie story despite her vehemently denying the book is about Jackson. One of them even tells Skeeter that she was so touched by what her maid wrote about her she has no intention of firing her and she'll be telling Hilly that if she brings up again and that Hilly deserved that pie and more and she will be voting Hilly out as President of the Junior League LOL Hilly gets her come uppance in the book only Elizabeth and a couple of others are loyal to her the rest are done with Hilly.

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 that's amazing, I really enjoyed reading your comment. It really makes me want to read the book

@@Cloudipy you should definitely read the book its brilliant! The movie is pretty accurate but it does deviate from the book so there are some differences. It really shows how Minny and Celia slowly build trust and talk and confide in one another and it goes into more detail about Celia and Johnny's relationship. Johnny is a sweetheart in the book he worships the ground Celia walks on and 100% has her back he doesn't give a fuck what people think about him marrying Celia. He and Minny meet much earlier as well Johnny comes home early whilst Celia is out and meets Minny, they talk and he confides in Minny I won't spoil it but he basically tells Minny to carry on working like normal as if he doesn't know as he wants Celia to tell him herself when she's ready. It also goes into more detail about Constantine and her life which is really heartbreaking and her relationship with Skeeter. It also details the other maids stories the good and bad. Anyway enjoy reading it if you do get it 😊

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 thank you! I enjoy reading you talk about it so I'm sure I'll enjoy it too^^

@@Cloudipy you defo will enjoy the book 😊

It was a really sweet Celia cooked all that food for her. 🤗😊

That wasn’t too hard to do... they didn’t set the bar too high

Davlyn Nolan truth, being kind and decent to your employees isn’t that hard to do. 🙏🏽✝️♥️

@@keyanna2633 that scene made me cry so hard.

Johnny was just as bad

the daughter was worse than Veruca

Ans still did nothing.

Juan Antonio Moreno She couldn’t because technically Minnie works & is employed by Hilly. Remember Hilly put her in a nursing home just for laughing

@@juanantoniomoreno3409 thats the point of the movie theres not alot anyone could do at s time like that. They would hang a white person up fir just sticking up for an african american.

In the book Minny never worked for Hilly Yule Mae did. At the start she's still working for Mrs Walters but Hilly decides to put her in a nursing home, sell her house and take whatever she liked of her mother's belongings. She offered Minny to come and work for her but Minny turns her down because she didn't want to put Yule Mae out of a job as they're friends. Hilly even offers Minny a pay rise and she still said no. So in retaliation Hilly tells everyone Minny is a thief and when Minny finds out why she can't find employment that's when she bakes and gives Hilly the pie right before Mrs Walters goes into the home. Hilly is so smug and says to Minny "I knew I'd get my way in the end" and when the penny drops about what went into the pie Mrs Walters laughs and tells Hilly "I wouldn't go tattling on Minny now Hilly or you'll be known as the one who ate two slices of Minny's shit" fucking savage 😂😂😂😂

Whites didn't want to cook and clean for themselves back than ! ! ! !

@@fairymairah Do they want to do all that still today? That work is very hard!

She so arrogant she ate the 🥧 when she came back also never treat everyone how you want to be treated especially if they are cooking your food.

That is so strange. Those people actually believed that black people carried "different diseases "? So they hired them to take care of their children and cook their food???? What am I missing here? Or maybe they knew that was not true at all, but used it as an excuse to mistreat them?

Jo Yin especially when mrs. Walters said she could use the inside bathroom.

Older people are wiser, patient and let's face it, mama just loves tweaking Hilly- after all " She put me in a home "...

Except why do you think hilly is like that? Bc her mom was and now she has dementia. That’s easy to say how nice she seems.

napperforlife exactly!!

napperforlife people can change though. Better to learn late than never.

This is just a wild guess but Ms. Hilly's mother presumably divorced him for raising his daughter into a demonic monster.

I saw the movie when it was first released. 'Just learned yesterday she is Ron Howard's daughter. I agree, her performance was flawless. KZfaq comments are filled with hate for her character. A testament to what an outstanding job she did.

@@pAusten oh wow! I had no idea she was Ron Howard's daughter!

At least we now know where she gets it.

But the mom was no better.

​@@Bloombaby99For enabling her husband? Of course.

Sean Furlong LMFAO!!! 🤣

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I see why she was served dookie Pie now 🤣💩🥧

she cannot be possessed, she is the devil

This part always makes me laugh 🤣😂😂😂😂😂

I would have squatted and pee'd on the seat

Write racist on the walls in shit

Laura Butlerr racism is an old weed. an ugly weed. and it's not like other weeds in which it can ever be turned into something good or useful, the way dandelions can be used in salads and wines. it's something that needs to be eradicated completely from the face of the earth. the only problem is that the roots go so deep. it's been, what, fifty years since the Civil Rights movement in America? and we can still feel the roots underneath our feet.

+Laura Butler the old lady even though she was loosing it should have stuck up for minny and hilly shouldnt of said anything to go against what her mom said no matter how old her mom is. id rather have my made pee inside than stomp around the house being soaking wet

Gregory Perkins She did stick up for Minny. She told Minny it was okay for her to use the inside bathroom and she mentioned that Minny was her maid BEFORE she started working for Hilly. Hilly made it out of a big deal and since it's her house, unfortunately in this case, it's her rules.

Were? They are still full of hate, I see it everyday.

People like Hilly still exist today, thanks to things like segregation and the awful propaganda Hitler's Nazi party put out, people like Hilly think they're some sort of "superior race" and can do whatever they want. You make these people face the consequences of their awful behavior and they will literally fall to peices.

I see ! ! ! !

They were all brilliant!

GET OFF ON TOILEEEET lma9

@@victoriarose5753 She said Get off my toilet not get off on toilet do you even understand proper English

Okay?? How is that funny? Women can have deep voices too.

@@patrickbateman1540 Chill man someone might think you were the one that ate Minnie's dookie pie

She didn't have a choice. She couldn't be disrespectful like Hilly. One, she wasn't white and two, Minny was taught to respect her elders.

Bloombaby99 She probably tried her best, but in those days women were expected to obey their husbands. No doubt whenever she would reprimand Hilly for acting like that, her husband would tell her to shut up and stop being a "bad influence" on her daughter. Sad but true.

@@LaKellita i see ! ! ! !

@ymarrero23 I agree 1000% but I didn't like how she made it all out to be her father's fault. She has just as much blame as he does. It doesn't matter that Hilly is an adult. My elders from the south (both black and white) will tell you they whooped their grown children's asses.

Guy's your missing something here. I'm not saying Mrs Walters is completely innocent, in the book she makes Minny replace something she broke that was worth nothing however in both the book and the film Minny stops Mrs Walters from eating that pie so she must have respected or at least treated Minny reasonably well.

@@Bloombaby99 its already 2 late. you must teach kids this young

Because she suffers from dementia. She didn’t even realize what was happening

When you totally hate the character where you just wanna slap them you know the actor/actress played the role flawlessly.

A slice of pie full of 💩🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would have left the entire pie for Hilly AND her husband to eat and somehow gotten another whole pie to be served at Hilly's fake-ass Women's club.

@@septiawoman2911 well said. I was thinking exactly the same thing. 😂😂😂🤣

Darth Veles it’s because hilly believed that black people carried diseases.

@@tedd-ivan Honestly they probably knew they weren't. It was more about having power over another person imo.

@@TastyGamingQc Exactly!!!!!!!!

Ikr

I think hilly got it from her father.

Yeah for good reason dude -_____-.

fuck you

@@blingblingpanda9998 Calm down. Need a pill?

Hate is taught

You said it. :)

Thats why when she asked what sh was doing she didnt answer she just flushed the toilet so she would know

+prisylovemty20 BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD IS BAE

I agree, even though Hilly is not my favorite character. The fact that the actor was able to become the character so well to the point where we hate her, it's incredible.

I agree, especially in this case- 1:36 'Daddy ruined you'

+Nutcase101 Yep.

Not always. I've always been closer to my mom.

Sex doesn’t make one closer to their opposite sexed parent

They attained all the wealth from their narcissistic dad. Hilly was narcissistic just like her dad and her mom was just married for security. Her mom in reality was a sweet person. She knew the rules but didnt mind her using the restroom that one time.

Caiti F this movie made me cry

It truly is, it's one of my favorite movies of all times.

Racism is hate not logic. None of it makes sense.

No one really had A/C in the 60s. Plus in this scene, the power went out during the storm. Hence all the lit candles

The need to feel supreme and superior is fueled by hate, Please stop looking for a way to making racism seem okay.. It is not.

catbot158 I didn't read the book, how did the scene happen there?

It's been awhile, but what I remember is that when Mrs. Walters was being put into the retirement home, Hilly offered to replace her own maid with Minny, but when Minny refused, Hilly called all her friends to make sure Minny wouldn't be hired by anyone in town.

MediaLover194 it didn't. I saw the movie before reading the book and nearly went crazy trying to find this part. In the book, Minny baked the pie because Hilly sent her mother to a nursing home, causing Minny to lose her job. She then went around telling everyone Minny was a their so no one would hire her. She wanted to force Minny to work for her. So Minny made the pie...

Not "they" - just Hilly.

Things did not get better for us

Hey, don't forget she works for Celia now and that's the best thing she could have

This is not slavery -_-

Edwin Montanez Pretty sure it was, or maybe my history teacher is that dumb

+Edwin Montanez this is slavery..

+Namo Kapili The Help are hired maids, barely given minimum wage. It sucks, but it's not slavery.

+SpoonfulOf Books there is such a thing as economic slavery. . If society recognized that and what was being done to African Americans... It wouldn't be so widespread today. Living your entire life with debts, unable to truly pull yourself up and take care of yourself and responsibilities no matter how hard you work is a tell tale sign of actually being. .. Enslaved. . Or do you not see that? Maybe you don't....

She got it from her father
