Review

edit

On IMDB.com, there used to be a review of "The Color of Friendship", written by someone who claimed Piper Dellums was her drama teacher. It stated that when Mahree returned home, she met the same fate as Stephen Biko because of her association with Ron Dellums. I'd like to have some clarification about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imponthenet (talkcontribs) 03:03, 21 May 2006 123456789 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.255.3.161 (talkcontribs) 01:27, 12 July 2006

Piper Dellums was actually my drama teacher as well as whoever this other person was and she actually said she hates the movie because it altered too much, she told me to never watch it, but I don't remember everything she said about her because this was years ago. Although I do remember she locked herself in her room for weeks and got sick from not eating piper didnt just get her out a bit later as in the movie. (this is what she said as I remember) however I dont remember much else I do remember that she supposedly died soon after arriving back to South Africa but i dont remember if it was the being killed or from just having gotten so sick when she starved and dehydrated her self over a couple of weeks.71.131.26.67 17:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't care how much you hate the word, I'd never use it against someone, but Wikipedia isn't censored for minors or easily-offended people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FinalWish (talkcontribs) 19:43, March 15, 2007

Mistakes

Quoted from the the Wiki -

"The light switches on the walls throughout the Dellums' home are all "Decora" rocker-style versus the classic toggle style, despite rocker wall switches being very uncommon for home installation during the time period of the movie."

Actually, this is wrong. Rocker style light switches were very common back then. Many homes built in the 1950s and 60s had rocker switches installed when the homes were built, and it was not uncommon at all for homes to be upgraded to these switch types. For example, our home built in 1955 originally had rocker style switches. 98.125.9.242 (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
