If anyone did some serious home work regarding to Southern History,it is true as movie "Mandigo" portrayed incest,cause incestuous relationship among family members,particurarly among brothers and sisters,and fathers and daughters,and inter-marriages among first cousins were quite common in those day,when I said those days I meant from 18th century to all the way throught out early 20th century and it is known fact!! Movie "Mandigo" simply protrayed the scenes as it were in those days and it is not thing to do with making whites look stupid and such. The movie "Mandigo" shows us some good insights to as how blacks were treated in the south from 18th century - late 19th century,but even after american civil war blacks were continusly faced harsh racism and discrimination from their white neighbors. Did any one heard about southern " Jim Jones Law"? Well "Jim Jones Law" was another form of racism that was introduced in the south right after the liberation of black slaves in the second half of 1800's,the law that for-bids southern blacks and whites from inter-mingle and it was at work until it was finally banned in the late 1960's,thankx to person like Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. and black movement in the sixties. It is truly one of the shameful chapter of our american history. Don't give me wrong,life is much better today for the black folks and rest of other ethnic americans,but problem of racism still persist and scar of shame-ful chapter of our american history still remains.
