Son Of The South

Scenes of racist violence include one in which a crowd of white people ambush civil rights protesters and beat them, resulting in several crunchy blows and moderate bloody aftermath detail. Attackers threaten to hang a white man for taking part in the protests; the victim is briefly suspended from a noose, but he is not seriously injured. In another scene, white men lean out of car windows and strike Black pedestrians with sticks and other objects, without visible injury. Brief footage of real 1960s sit-in protests show white people attacking and striking at Black protesters, also without sight of injury.

There are scenes of racism throughout the film, including use of terms such as ‘n****r’, ‘coon’, ‘monkey’, ‘boy’, ‘Black bitch’, ‘mongrel’, ‘Jew bastard’ and ‘yellow bastard’. We briefly see men in Ku Klux Klan robes burning crosses, and white people verbally abusing and pouring milk and condiments over Black sit-in protesters. The film carries a clear anti-racism message.
