Hello Lacnetters,
     I watched a movie last night about several generations of african
americans evolving through the anti-segregation time in this country.  One of
the last scenes with Mama Flora is where she gets dressed up in her Sunday
best to get a cup of coffee in a white's only diner.  While she gets accosted
by many people in the diner one of them is a teenager who tells her she has no
place there.  She tells him that she nursed his pappy, that he [the father]
has her milk inside of him and that milk is like blood.  In other words they
are related by the fact that she wet nursed his father.  He the teenager looks
rather shocked and leaves her alone.  She gets her cup of coffee by the way.
I just thought it was a cool way of looking at breastfeeding.  White blood.
Also, portrays breastfeeding in a semi-positive light on television which is
usually made to be degrading etc.
     Just thought I would share this.
