Changes

'''''Liberty Heights''''' is yet another leftist look at America in the 1950s, seen through the eyes of [[atheist]]ic middle class Jews in Baltimore, who are blessed by in their ignorance to beatify socialism while stooping to biased talk against [[Joe McCarthy]]. But the conscious point of the movie is that (white) Jews are just as prejudiced as any other whites, and that inter-racial romance will break down this prejudice.  

'''''Liberty Heights''''' is yet another leftist look at America in the 1950s, seen through the eyes of an [[atheist]]ic middle class Jewish family in Baltimore, who are blessed by in their ignorance to beatify socialism while stooping to biased talk against [[Joe McCarthy]]. But the conscious point of the movie is that (white) Jews are just as prejudiced as any other whites, and that inter-racial romance will break down this prejudice. The downside of all this optimism comes in the intertwining of the film's three character arcs: the father is in the numbers racket, using a burlesque club as a front; the older son is crushing on a non-Jewish girl; the younger son is dating a black girl.
