Hi Leigh Anne. I purchased the Blind Side two days ago. I have seen it three times. I have a few heros and people that I admire and respect. John Wayne, he encouraged me to become a Green Beret, Tom Landry, Maureen O Hara, Love her, Cary Grant, What a guy. And of course my Dad, my true hero and the man who taught me respect, humilty, and honor. I will always remember him as he made the most impact on my life. And now I have to add to my list the Touhy family. God Bless you all. Your kindness to Michael and how you all had such a positive impact in his life is inspiring. I don’t have much but feel very grateful for what I have because I know there are many more out there who have so much less that what I have. You are truly an inspiration to me. Once again, God Bless You All. Ed.

To whom it may concern,

My name is Jerome Williams, I would lke to present a personal award to the Tuohy family. I’m a military man, and I would like to present my highest award to the Touhy Family on the basis that they represented the very heart of the American tradition… this is not a Hoax or anything…. I am very sincere about this… the award I speak of is my own… for serving in the longest deployment since the vietnam war. I am not asking for anything in return… But if any family deserves this honor, its the Tuohy Family. They sacrificed as much as I did to provide for a person in need, and to me, that provides the true American Spirit.. And in return, I would like to return the favor and bestow my greatest award upon the Tuohy Family.. Again, do not want anything…other than bestowing my greatest honor to a family that has done nothing but given back… Thank you for your time..

What this remark proves to me is that good people will come under the most hateful scorn. This rant is irrational.

And most astounding is that “Free” projects an entire motivation, orientation, and value system upon the people of this family and is convinced of the correctness of this position.

Insanity.

I have watched it over and over. I also have an autistic (severe) child. I realize my reply may have nothing to do with this story and so admire Leigh Ann and Sean (remember them at Ole Miss) but I so wish we could get the truths out about autism. It is not always a happy ending, but a worthwhile journey for sure. Leigh Ann and I have one thing in common, compassionate for the less fortunate. We get lots of stares as Im sure they did and still do. Many may look at Leigh Ann and Sean and say, why him? People look at us and say, We could not do what you do and we reply yes you can. Again so admire Leigh Ann and Sean. It was not what they did for him materialistically but spritually.

The movie The Blind Side is a very enjoyable movie. It only proves that no matter where you start from you can become great.

Thank you I made contact with my birth mother after 52 years one of the first questions ask by her was what my early life was like I could not put it into words until I had seen the film The Blind Side
Apart from the drugs my early life mirrored Michael’s. The feeling of being lost not trusting. As luck would have it I to had people enter into my life and changed the path I was taking.
To the Touhy family I thank you. I do not see black or white I see a family

I might agree with you free if this story was hatched in the mind of Hollywood, but its a true story as attested to by the Tuohy family and Michael Oher.

This movie was awful. It was so pat and racie/class bias. It’s the sort of film that appeals to whites views on race and closet feelings of superiority. America is a country that has millions of abused WHITE children. They outnumber black kids (though black and mixed race-with white mothers- kids are disproportinately represented). Why are white so eager to save black kids? It aint kindness.
What this woman did was not that difficult considering her income and free time. I know far more black women helping and adopting throw away black kids. These black women don;t have rich husbands. They are working class to middle class and often pay most or all of the bills! This is the oldest story, but America doesn’t like that.
I’ve read about Leigh Ann. She is the worst sort of paternalistic white person and can’t do an interview without making a racial comment. She seem obsessed with seeking out “bad black mother” scenes and telling folks abotu how she got in that black woman’s face and told her off…..all for the sake of the child- OF COURSE.
I thought we got past the Different Strokes, Webster , white savior era, but it seems we have merged it with The Wire and sold it again.
Don’t use black kids to make yourselves feel superior or important or involved in serious, social issues! Whites have saved colored kids before (Native American, Aboriginal, asian) it always ends badly because your true motives are not loving.
[PS- Secritariat is out. It's the same movie as The Blind Side. Blond, fiesty, super white woman overcomes discrimination to save a black boy/horse? Its no accident that these 2 stories are sold the same way. This reflects American society]
